Very responsive and provided up to date info. Loki had a great time and I felt safe leaving him with Derek.

Derek's a fantastic sitter and it shows with the great communication and being able to handle our older dog's med regime. The boys think so as well, since he's the first one in years that they're so excited to see that they start getting hyped when we get within a mile of his house!

Derek was great with Luke! Luke has a lot of energy but every picture we got seemed like he was having a lot of fun. Felt incredibly comfortable leaving him for a few days which is not normally easy for us. Was extremely grateful that he allowed a meet and greet a few weeks in advance before we booked also! Would highly recommend!

Very happy with the care my dog Lily got with Derek. He sent daily pics and updates which put my mind at ease and I could tell thru these pics that she was feeling more comfortable as well as she got used to Derek and the environment. Thanks very much Derek!
Derek was super nice and friendly. We had never boarded our dog before. He was patient and very gentle with our 14 year old dog. He provided pictures and videos daily. We would definitely board with him again! Thank you Derek!

Derek was so great and helped us out last minute when we needed someone to watch our pup for a night. Our dog was so at ease with him right from the beginning.

Absolutely great our dog had an amazing time. He sent us amazing videos of our dog playing and just having a blast. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Derek watched duke for us while we got married, and I felt totally at ease with the updates and videos! Duke had a friend to play with the whole weekend and was just wiped out when we picked him up LOL! We will definitely book with Derek in the future!

Great communicator and sent regular photos and videos of my dog.

Derek was was good with our dog Jesse. He played with her and took her on a long walk!

My dog loves Derek and actually pouts for days when I bring him home.
I have used a few rover sitters in the past and some didn't turn out as great. However, Derek was in great communication with video and photo updates! I was a little worried that my dog wouldn't get along with other dogs and Derek made sure to slowly introduce my dog to the other dogs before you know Oso was WALKING along side two other dogs and playing. Not only was it a great stay for Oso but it also was a great way to socialize for Oso. Derek's property has a fenced in yard which is awesome! I recommend Derek 100% and I will be using his services again in the future!

Great experience boarding our pup with Derek. Sent us a lot of pictures and video updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend him!

Derek is a great sitter! My dog Katie has really taken to him- I have no worries when I drop off my fur baby with Derek. Communication is great.

Derek was great with our girls. They had a fun time. He sent videos everyday of them. It was a great comfort to see them safe and happy. I will definitely use Derek again.
Derek was extremely communicative, and gave plenty of fun video updates of our dogs having a great time!

Our dog had a great time with Derek. We plan to use him again in the future.

Great sitter, felt very comfortable leaving my baby in his care. Experienced and knowledgeable on handling multiple dogs with different needs. Would highly recommend!

Would have my dog stay here again in a heartbeat. Kind and caring. Loved the videos he sent.
Derek is awesome!
