This is my wife Katie’s dog and house sitting business….Give her a call if you need an excellent, competent and dependable
sitter for all of your pet and house sitting needs. It does not matter if it’s plants or animals she will treat them like their her babies.

Good Day Everyone,

I wanted to share a bit of my background and how that enhances my petsitting skills. I have a medical background and worked as a surgical technologist for 30 years. During that time I learned and performed CPR on humans, assisted the surgeon in debriding and dressing wounds, and I learned to access and interpret vital signs, plus much more. I took a Dog and Cat CPR course through the American Red Cross today and it was very similar to how CPR is performed on humans. This will enable me to competently care for your pet in emergency situations. I also have experience in giving pets daily meds, pets that have medical conditions as well as wound care. Over the years my personal fur babies have had to be cared for in the above situations. I am posting my pet CPR certificate. I want to do everything in my control to ensure your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

Hello everyone,

My name is Katie Nordentoft, Derek’s lovely bride. I wanted to share a story with you about what I’ve learned from Tennis. First of all, I do not play due to several reasons.
When I met Derek in 2007 he was teaching in Hot Springs Village, AR, working in a retirement community, most of his clients were older. Let me tell you, I learned tennis was a sport for life!!! I watched many players in their seventies , eighties,and nineties play very good tennis with competitiveness and great movement. Several of his teams won and placed first in several events. I watch a young 95 year old lady whoop up on her opponents, it was amazing. I was hooked and impressed with this sport.
I encourage everyone to give tennis a try, Derek’s specialty is working with clients who are just beginning their tennis journey. In my opinion, he is an excellent teacher, “he’s not a ball feeder”. Many of his clients still take lessons from him while other clients have continued to improve their rating. (2.5, 3.0, 3.5etc). Several of his clients have went on to play competitively, the have won state, gone to regionals and had a lot of fun along the way. He is very invested in his clients and often goes to their matches to watch them play. Derek really cares that his clients learns to play tennis and that they develop a great foundation which to build upon. Derek is a lot of fun too! I am very proud of my husband for caring, teaching, supporting and sharing his passion with his clients.

So, COME ON! Give Derek a call and book your lesson at Lakewood Tennis Center in North Little Rock, AR.
Cell number: 501-425-2673
Lakewood is a beautiful setting to spend time and take lessons from my hubby.

Ask him about his tennis packages ( pay for a certain # of lessons and get one free. A great deal!
HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!
