Send me where the giant pups are!

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and for the first 17 years of my life, I was a cat person. I was converted my senior year of high school when a Pit Bull/Chocolate lab rescue was placed on my doorstep and it's been history since! I love sleeping with my Bella every night and if my client allows, I will cuddling with their pups too. My family also has two miniature doxis and you should see me when I walk the group of them. Have the patience to handle puppies and the gentleness to care for elderly dogs. Also am able to walk multiple dogs at once, controlling an excited Bella and even more excited little ones. I am a very flexible person and will meet the needs of the client, no matter how "crazy" the request. My parents travel for work often and I offer to watch the dogs every time they go away. When then are away, I will walk the dogs in the morning when they get up, feed them breakfast, and take them out again before work. When I come home, I will take them out again and feed them dinner. After that, I will spend time playing tug-of-war and throw a ball for them. I really enjoy their company and love being able to spend time with animals - especially dogs.

Dogs were a little standoffish with Derrick, but they are like that with all new people. Pudge and Beau quickly accepted Derrick and enjoy when he comes to visit. We never used anyone other than family to watch our children. One of our friends suggested Rover, this is the first time we used someone other than family. We have used Derrick a few times now and will most likely use him again when we go on vacation.
