A Spacious Yard Made For Happy Paws
From belly rubs to playtime adventures, I give each dog the love and energy they need to feel happy and cared for. I work remotely full-time, which means your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. My spacious yard and cozy indoor spaces give pets the best of both worlds, and I’m committed to learning each dog’s unique personality and needs so they feel right at home. I’d be happy to schedule a meet and greet to give you a tour and ensure my home is the right fit for your pup. A meet and greet or trial night helps create comfort and peace of mind for both of us.

Ratings and reviews
Derrick was fantastic with our dog, Denna. Very reliable, communicative, and clearly cares a lot about the dogs he watches. We felt completely comfortable leaving her with him and would absolutely book again.
Thank you for great drop in visits! Neeshak and Nancy enjoy hanging out with Derrick during visits! A big thanks for being available on relatively short notice as well.
Derrick was great with our dog Cora. She was very comfortable and relaxed, and Derrick was great at communicating and kept us updated on how she was doing. Thank you!
My dogs’ stay with Derrick was excellent in every way. He is caring, enthusiastic, and the dogs clearly loved him and his dog-perfect house/yard. He’s just as good to us humans, too. Five paws - strongly recommend!
Derrick was very thorough and skilled with handling my German Shepherd. He took extra time and care to send me updates during the walk. I’ve left my dog in his care multiple times now and my dog always has lots of fun with him! Will definitely book him again.
“Derrick was great with my dog ( Chowder ) and his large yard gave my pup plenty of space to play. I’d happily book with him again.”

Safety, trust & environment
Your pup will have plenty of room to explore with my spacious, double-tiered yard—about 2,000 square feet of outdoor fun! For indoor-loving pets, I have a cozy private room (180 sq ft) just for them, plus extra deck space perfect for lounging and soaking up the fresh air. If your pup loves to socialize, we’re just a short stroll from a wonderful dog-friendly park—perfect for making new furry friends and enjoying some extra playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In case of any health concerns, I’m conveniently located just 0.4 miles from a vet, ensuring quick access to professional care if needed.
