Hi my name is Derek. I have lived in Geelong for the past 2 years, but I am originally from Canada. Growing up I have had experience looking after dogs, lizards and cats. (Unfortunely, no experience looking after bears or beavers!)
Currently I have two dogs named Rocky and Mac. They are both whippets and excellent lads! Like most whippets they are very anxious, so I have excellent knowledge to calmly and carefully handle them and other dogs of that nature. Also, Rocky has an autoimmune disease, so I have had experience monitoring symptoms and administering oral daily medicaiton.
I personally love meeting and interacting with animals to get to know their personalities. Though my two dogs wouldn't enjoy have a part-time roommate, I'm more then happy to walk your dogs and do house visits. If you are away from your home I am happy to help with bins, poo pick-up and bring in the mail! I will also ensure to send you a daily update for your pet.
If I sound like a fit for you and your fur baby/pal I am happy to do meet and greet to get to know you and your pets needs to make sure I am the right fit. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Derek was fantastic walking my two dogs. He’s polite and always communicates his availability. Love the photos too!!
Derek was great! He was friendly, trustworthy and communicated really well and sent a message and pictures of our pets each day. They were all happy and healthy when we returned from holiday.
