Depending on my schedule I am available in the afternoon's during the week and weekend. I ask that you get in contact with me in a timely fashion (At least a week in advance) so it allows me enough time to prepare for your animal(s) needs into my schedule. Care taking varies depending on your animals needs. I am not able to host any pets or allow sitting at my home. I am able to take care of your pets needs from your home. As always, let me know if you want more details over a meet and greet. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pet!

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and I had helped with the puppy stage for two dogs in the last 5 years. My family got a German Shepherd puppy 5 years ago and then we decided he needed a friend so I helped with a new puppy who’s a Beagle just this past fall. I also have had recent jobs where responsibility was a necessity as I was a para educator with special needs kids over the summer. I’m currently a college student so my weekdays are pretty busy with classes and trying to keep up with school work but I could be free on the weekends depending. At home I help with feeding my dogs, one of my dogs has epilepsy so I’m familiar with giving medications, I also help to walk them and love to play with them to help them get their energy out. I have also helped friends and siblings with watching their pets when needed.

Dena D.
“I'm a dog groomer of 10 years, and I know it takes a certain kind of person to be trustworthy and reliable with your pets! Dena is a very kind, calm and gentle person, not only in personality but also body language which is important to make sure your pets feel safe with someone they're not familiar with yet. Not only is Dena reliable but also amiable, empathetic, considerate and welcoming. I'd 100% trust her in my home and with my pets who are the type that need to warm up to someone before being comfortable”
