Pet care experience

I’ll take care of the ruff stuff!

My family has always referred to me as the dog whisperer, because I’ve never come across a dog I don’t love. I’ve had many an owner gawk at me and exclaim “he/she never warms up to new people like this!” I love animals of all sorts and sizes. I believe our pets should never be the only family member not enjoying vacation; but they also shouldn’t cause worry or hinder our trips. That’s where I come in; I’ll be your pets pal while you’re away! In addition to making sure your animal has company and companionship while you’re away; I’ll also be only a phone call away to put to rest any concerns or worries you may have. So book now for all your furry friend needs! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to allow the pet time to warm up with a gentle and loving approach. Following introductions I make sure to take my time with each and every fur baby to assure all their needs are met and they aren’t left alone with an excess of energy.

I am delighted to recommend Derryn R. as a pet sitter and dog walker. Derryn has a natural gift with animals and an extraordinary ability to connect with them. His calm, gentle presence puts animals at ease almost immediately, and dogs seem to gravitate toward him instinctively. I often describe him as a "dog whisperer" because he is incredibly attentive to their needs and communicates with them in a way that goes beyond words. Derryn is patient, responsible, and deeply caring. He pays close attention to each animal's unique personality, routines, and comfort level, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship, he approaches every interaction with genuine compassion and enthusiasm. Beyond his love for animals, Derryn is trustworthy, dependable, and respectful. Pet parents can feel confident knowing their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Derryn to anyone seeking a responsible, loving, and attentive caregiver for their pets.
