I am a dog's best friend!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of my own dog for 11 years now, and others from Rover for 7 years. Some people think I'm crazy because I sometimes value my dog's interests over my own. I've trained and raised my own pup since he was 8 weeks old. I have done and still continue to do research in regards to my dogs needs to insure a healthy lifestyle for him. You would be leaving your dog in good hands with me. I have become an expertise in walking dogs through my experience from Rover. I can handle any silly behaviors, strength, and temperament. I myself am a fairly active individual, so taking multiple walks a day with dogs is not a problem at all. I have also done over 30+ house sittings and more dog walks then I can count. I’m equipped with enough experience and knowledge to handle all pet related situations. I promise that I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I would expect no less if I were to leave my dog with someone else.

Safety, trust & environment

I have had over 30+ over night pet sits at clients homes. When I am at your home, your pet will have my full attention. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable with me as they would with you. On top of that, I will make sure your home is kept safe. I am very clean and courteous. You will not even know I stayed there.

Information Derrick L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the dog before I puppy sit, so that the dog can have the best possible experience. I love all dogs, so I don't have a breed preference.

A typical day

I will make sure your dog receives my full attention during the duration of my doggy-sit. As long as there are prior instructions or background information, I will do my best to comply. I can walk or run with dogs, play fetch until he/she gets tired, give belly rubs until they get tired of it, and even do my best to teach them new tricks if you want. My goal is to provide the same sense of comfort and security you give them.
