Great with dogs and very friendly

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced avid dog lover that enjoys making new furry friends, I promise your pet will love me. The safety and care of your animal is of utmost importance, and I am very respectful of how the parents treat/ raise their dog(s). I have had dogs my entire life and have offered care to family and friends for the last 20 years with great success. My goal is to keep your friend happy and well cared for in your absence, with little to no interruption with their regular schedules. I love all animals and have fun watching others people's, it keeps me from getting like 8 myself haha. I'm flexible on rates so if you think I'm charging high or have any specific needs let's talk.

I came home to a mess in the kitchen. So I texted Derrick to ask what time he left. He said not that long ago. Something didn't feel right about his reply. I decided to watch the security videos to see what time he left. He had left early morning and before he left I see a random girl leaving. Strangers was never discussed to be allowed. We stopped using him after discovering he was having strangers stay the night.

Derrick did not feed my dog his prepared food in the refrigerator for two days. He had a woman in our house, I found her underwear in my bedroom. He lost our fishing pole and said he would replace it and never did. All our Tequila and Rum was gone. I found many things that did not add up. When we spoke to him over the phone when we got home he just lied. In the end I would NEVER recommend Derrick. He is a lair and not to be trusted.

This was our first time using this app. We were traveling to Hawaii so we needed to be sure that the person we chose would be a right fit since we would be so far away. We have 2 large bully pits so the sitter had to be comfy with caring for large dogs especially ones that also love to cuddle. Derrick was great. He quickly put our minds to rest by sending us daily updates and photos. He made sure to follow all requests & instructions perfectly. Asking questions to clarify any questions. He left the house looking great & even left all the lights on for our late evening return. I would highly recommend him for sitting services. We would definitely use him again. Thank you for a job well done Derrick!

Derrick was awesome. He sent pictures and messages to keep me updated. My dog was happy and Derrick gave him all the attention he wanted. I would use Derrick again anytime.
