The Pet Whisperer

Pet care experience

I aim to connect with animals by pairing and other behavioral analysis techniques. I work with the parents of pets to determine the best care I can provide.

Derrick is professional and communicative, thank you! Our pup is so happy to go walks, and tired when they return. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommended!

Derrick was great, communicated with us throughout his 5 nights of staying with our pup! House was left in tip top shape and Bebe was in great spirits when we finally returned home. Thanks Derrick!

We used Derrick to walk our dog numerous times. We found him to be very kind and loving towards our pet and Buster just loves him. He especially loves when Derrick takes him to Pennypack Trust!

Derrick is a true gem in the dog sitting world. He is a caring, loving, professional who will treat your dog like family. He is attentive to the dog’s needs, adherent to routine and schedules, and enjoys both walking and playing with our dog. He has sat for us for years and has always been respectful of our home and helpful with deliveries/cleaners. Our dog has separation anxiety and he is always able to comfort her. He is also responsible, reliable and a great communicator. I can’t recommend him enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I work for a Victim Services Center and understand that safety and trust translates to pets as well. I am patient with animals, and do my best to make sure they're living their best lives. I make sure I know what the pet likes, and from there will start a pairing and bonding experience that will last!

Information Derrick S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know any special behaviors, dietary restrictions, and schedules that your pet has so that I can replicate your comprehensive care plan.

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs and give an exorbitant amount of belly rubs. My experience has even had me be part of a dog's behavior treatment plan, communicating often with owners.

I recently lost my adult male rats after two years of companionship. I currently live with no animals. Most of my loved ones either have a cat or a dog or both, so I have plenty of exposure and various levels of care.
