Expert Care & Limited Boarding
With years of professional hands-on experience managing animal care facilities and handling hundreds of dogs-including seniors, medical needs, and those with anxiety-I provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment for your dog. Because of my full-time commitments in professional pet care, I keep my personal boarding availability vary limited. This ensures your dog gets undivided attention, a calm atmosphere, and a true home away from home experience rather than a high-volume kennel environment. If you are looking for a traditional kennel environment, group play structures, or more budget-friendly daily care, I proudly manage operations at Rin Tin Inn down the road-be sure to check them out! Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully fenced-in backyard for supervised play, direct access to walking trails, and a comfortable, relaxing indoor space to rest. I specialize in canine behavior and anxiety, meaning your pet is in experienced, steady hands from drop-off to pick-up.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We have used Derrick multiple times for watching our dog.He takes wonderful care of our Australian shepherd and always sends videos and pictures. He's become the first thing I book before vacation to make sure Millie is taken care of and I dont have to worry! 10/10 recommend!
Very happy with the care that Poppy received from Derrick!
Jade seemed very well taken care of. We had good communication while away on our trip and it comforted us with the updates that she was having a good time. We plan to use Derrick for any future trips we plan where Jade cant go with us.
This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.
Derrick was always quick and willing to give updates, videos and pictures of our girl!! We will be booking again!!
We were very happy with Derrick, I would recommend him

Schedule
As a full-time professional pet care manager, animal care is my daily life. Because of my schedule, I keep my personal boarding numbers vary low so that any dog staying with me gets dedicated, consistent attention and a structured routine

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and individualized care are my top priorities. I specialize in canine behavior and anxiety, providing a secure, calm, and closely supervised environment. Weather it's medication administration, specialized feeding, or managing anxious behaviors, your dog is in experienced hands.

A typical day
Your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time on a large fenced-in yard, secure fenced-in backyard, walks along a nerdy trail, and interactive play. When it's time to rest, they have a comfortable, relaxing indoor space to unwind and decompress.
