About Derek

Experience: 5 yrs

My passion for animal welfare drives me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your beloved companions. With five years of experience, I hold a college degree and am a Certified & insured pet sitter. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness, treating every dog and cat as if they were my own. Whether managing high-energy breeds through active play or providing gentle care for seniors and those with special needs, I ensure a safe, consistent routine. I am experienced with challenging pets and comfortable administering medicine. In any emergency, I remain calm, think quickly, and communicate immediately with you. I truly enjoy witnessing the unique quirks of every animal while offering you total peace of mind. My approach is rooted in responsibility, kindness, and empathy. I look forward to welcoming your furry friend into a space where they feel truly at home.

Where do I begin?? My Stewie absolutely LOVES his visits to Derek’s Camp! He hops out of the car and runs to the front door. Derek loves Stewie and the other dogs like they were his own.. I love the regular communication and photos of my fur baby while I’m away. I travel several times a month and am so relieved knowing that Stewie is safe and loved when I’m away.. Thank you Derek 😇
