Derrick

Heya! Derrick here. I’m a 23yo based in the inner west, ready to become the new companion for your fur-babies!!

Being a passionate animal lover, and a pet owner myself, I’d love to dedicate more of my spare time to hanging out with and caring for doggies and kitties on the westside! Whether you need a quick dog walk, a home visit or an overnight house-sitting, give me a buzz and I’m sure we can work something out:^)

As a recent fine arts graduate with casual work commitments, I keep a very open and flexible schedule for you and your babies, morning, arvo and night! I’m very patient, organised and responsible -- let me know your pets’ favourite activities and treats and I’d tailor my service to their temperaments and liking/dislikes, always making sure to spoil them and have a good time!

For walks, I’d punctually pick up your dog(s) from the agreed location within a reasonable travel time, and take them to a favourite park of choice to play! Or just hanging around the neighbourhood for a sniff-venture. The walks can be anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on your preferences and my availability. I can take lots of photos and update you throughout the journey so you get a good sense of what we’ve been up to!

For house visits, depending on our agreements and/or travel time, I'm happy to drop by 1-3 times a day and spend 30 mins to an hour with your pet so I can feed them, clean cat litters and play, making sure all is well! Alternatively, if you'd like visits durings specific parts of the day, please let me know too!

If you'd like me to stay the night(s), rest assured that I will cover everything I'd do on a typical house visits, as well as taking care of the essential chores i.e. bins, letters, plants etc around the house, plus security and anythig else you might need. I'm happy to spend the whole time at the house, unless I have quick plans that I'd have sought approval from you prior to the housesit. Again, with direct and clear communication, we can certainly work out the hours, the requirements and all the nitty-gritties!

I’m fun, energetic and very reliable, with pockets full of treats (unless your baby is on weight-watch) and a big big heart! I cannot wait to meet your pets — we will have a fabulous time together, with lots of love and fun to go around the table. You get one, you get one too!
