Pet care experience
2 grown ups, home full time we have 2 dogs of our own, although I’m not really sure you can count Trixie-she’s only 4 lbs., so a bit more like a Guinean pig than a dog. We lost our very senior dogs a few years ago, so we decided to do dog sitting to fill the void. park.p. And then I fell madly in love with a canine guest, a Havanese.. We can brought one home in a matter of weeks. His name is Puck, and he's a very friendly little guy who loves to play with other dogs. We have a 1500sq ft. Ranch house (3 steps up) in a quiet neighborhood, with a smallish yard, and a great patio for doggie sunbaths.. we have been dog sitting for 6 years now. We can administer meds, oral and injected. We walk them regularly There are squirrels and rabbits to chase (and maybe catch), and lots of time for ear scratches and belly rubs. It’s a comfortable, relaxed environment with a regular routine. About this sitter: Hi, I am a retired stay at home mom who is now using her nurturing ability to care for other people's dogs in my home. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life. When my husband and I bought our first house, the first thing we got was a dog, a Cairn Terrier, named Chelsea. After she passed we welcomed home Zelda, a terrier mix, and Nala, a lab-malamute mix. They lived til they were 17 and 15, respectively. Now we have a Havanese, and a Chorkie, who only weighs 4 lbs
Reviews
Our 10 month old Boston Terrier puppy stayed with Denise this weekend. This was our puppy's first "overnight" away from home. Denise did a great job of making this transition a good experience for our puppy! We will definitely use Denise again!
Denise took very good care of our elderly dog. She was comfortable there and received lots of good care. We also appreciated Denise sending us updates!
Denise and her family are outstanding! My fur kids always have a great time and I have a peace of mind they're in good hands.
Denise and George provide a wonderful loving home for our dogs. So appreciative that they are nearby!

Information Denise B. would like to know about your pet
I love most dogs, and only worry a bit about my Chorkie, cause of her size. But in general, if a dog has been neutered or spayed, and is not dog-aggressive, we should be fine. My only problem is with Pit Bulls. Sorry, no Pitts, I am afraid of them.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Depending on the weather, once or twice a day. We try to do 2 miles. Unless it's really hot or cold, raining heavily, or 1 of us is not feeling well, that's what we do. Afternoon and evening. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Probably in our room. Time I'll spend with your dog I do not work outside the home, so I will be here all the time, except for running short errands.
