Derek was great with Chloe. She got a lot of attention. Chloe felt comfortable and relaxed while in his care.

Derek did an outstanding job taking care of my dog Rocky. He followed Rocky’s diet instructions perfectly and is very knowledgeable on small dog care. When I picked up Rocky, he was calm and happy. Will be booking with Derek again.

Derek is one of the best sitters that we have worked with. He is thorough and very easy to work with. And he is great in getting pics of our furbaby. Thank you Derek! You are our top sitting in VB. Keep up the good work, we need more sitters like you :)

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Derek is very professional, kind, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. My dog was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. He kept me updated with messages, videos and photos, which I truly appreciated—it made being away so much easier. It’s clear he treat every pet like his own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely amazing dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again!

I’ve written a review for Derek before, but since I am moving I’d like to reiterate to anyone seeking continuous service that Derek is a 10/10 choice and the best decision made when it came to my puppy Aurora. For the past 6 months Derek has taken care of my puppy every single work day with zero issues, quick responses, several photo/video updates of her walks or training sessions, and tons of love to share for her. It truly makes me sad to leave because I don’t believe I’ll find a better dog sitter than Derek and I hope he can share the care he’s shown for Aurora to others seeking continuous support. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us Derek!

Derek has been great with my baby girl Bella. She recently started going to him for doggie day care and will continue on a regular basis. Bella also stayed with him this past weekend and he continued to update me on her progress with messages, videos, and adorable pictures. I highly recommend Derek.

This is the first time we have left our pup with anyone, and Derek provided the best possible experience. We selected him based on his stellar reviews on Rover, and are super pleased with everything from the meet and greet to the daily updates with photos and videos. He gave us such peace of mind to know how well our dog Puka was being cared for and having such fun with his Frankie and Ruby. Derek has such a great and fun personality himself, we will definitely use him again whenever we go out of town!

Cannot ask for a more responsive and attentive dog sitter. Derek has watched my senior pup multiple times - been a great experience each time.
