About: Hi, I’m Ali. I am a mom of 2 boys & one dog named Tommy. We live right outside of Stillwater on a beautiful 10 acre lot. I am very passionate about pets, especially dogs. I have grown up my whole life with dogs & do some fostering for Cocos Heart Dog Rescue! I would love to be a companion for your pet during the day to ensure they get the exercise they deserve! I can meet your animals needs whether it be a walk in the neighborhood, at a park, or playing at home! I provide updates during and after each visit if preferred! I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I am happy to assist most times throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently work remotely from home and would be able to take requests most times throughout the day, except for evenings (with the exception if communicated early enough) We have a 10 acre lot and are constantly outside. I make sure clients pets are on a leash while outside with us at all times unless specified by the owner. Clients pets are welcome on the furniture if they currently do that at their own homes, but I mindfully respect boundaries that clients provide.

“Denise and family are the best pet sitters! They take excellent care and are in tune to your pet's needs. I'm very comfortable with my pet's care when I leave Lucy in Denise's care. I would recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”


“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”

I also have a cat that I love dearly and would be more than happy to stop in and take care of what ever your cat needs.
