Pet care experience

Reliable, caring pet sitter here!

Hi there, I'd love to take care of your doggo in my home! I work from home so I have lots time for furry company. I love dogs, I have had dogs all of my life, all sizes and breeds, that's over 50 years. I only take smaller dogs. I encourage them to play and interact together. But if that is not their thing, my home has lots of cozy spaces to nap in (including my lap) Dogs are allowed on the couch, on my bed or just on their own bed...whatever they prefer. I have lots of space, inside and outside. They can have their own room if they want to be alone. I can administer medicine if needed and I have experience with older dogs. Your baby will be walked twice daily and they will be given 4-5 bathroom breaks a day. Pick up and drop off times are between 7am and 7pm. Sorry, no later than 7pm. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like any more information.

Derv was wonderful. Arry had a fabulous time. She kept me up to date with pictures and I had total peace of mind that he was in great hands.

Derv did a wonderful job looking after our senior, high maintenance dog for the day. She even took professional grade photos that she shared with us while we were out. Highly Recommend!!

My girls had the best time with Derv and her furry friends. I received photos and messages throughout their stay. I felt relived to have my dogs with her-and knew they would be well taken care of. Absolutely will use this sitter again!

She was very nice and made me comfortable with leaving my Chihuahua with her! She even sent pics of her to me that showed her squirrel watching lol!

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer. I know most dogs love a crate as their 'safe space'. They will never be left unattended with another dog.

A typical day

I encourage my doggo guests to have lots of outside play/sniffing time in my enclosed yard. Or indoor squirrel watching from a cozy window bed.
