Pet care experience

Mobile Mama Bear ❤️🐻

I've been caring for animals my entire life. Cows, chickens, birds, turtles, dogs, cats, a pet squirrel-you name it :). I currently care my Basset Hound girl and Goldendoodle boy. I am an avid trail seeker and dog park navigator. I most recently served as a volunteer foster pet parent for the Gulf Coast Humane society for 5 years, specializing in orphaned puppies, kittens and senior long-term kennel dogs. I have rehabilitated 12 kittens and 2 puppies that were removed from a hoarding environment. I have dedicated my life to giving love, guidance and support to animals. I work with hip dysplaysia everyday as my senior pup has suffered from this since he was 6 months old. I have worked with bottle babies, mush babies, eating-medical disorders, mobility limitations, socialization challenges, separation anxiety and a wide variety of behavioral discorders. My 17 yo feline-Madi, passed away Aug 2018-she was with me for 17 years and towards the last 2 of her life, she was treated for thyriod cancer, administered both oral and injectable medication and subcutaneous fluids. Now that I have fully transitioned to New Mexico, I want to devote my time to the daily challenges we face as pet parents to find dependable, trustworthy and quality pet care. You can be 100% relaxed when your babies are with me!

Trusting your pets with another human is hard, but not when it comes to Dena. Dena shows Klaus kindness and love, just as she treats her own pets. We are very thankful for her help during the week! <3

Thank you- to the sweetest, most appreciated, amazing dog walker! Dena, we are forever thankful for your help during the week. It has been a true honor having you watch Klaus. Cindy, my neighbor met you while you were walking Klaus and she was just so impressed with how well he listens and responds to you! We are so blessed to have you in our world!

I didn’t make time for a review last week, so finally getting around to it tonight. Last week, I was rushed out of the house and Klaus had chewed up a chunk of grass all over the carpet before leaving for work.. Embarrassed, I told Dena (to self report the mess that I planned to clean up after work). When I came home after work Dena had vacuumed my carpet and cleaned up AFTER taking Klaus for his walk. I had a sweet Valentines gift waiting for me too. Every time Dena visits she sends text and app updates and picture updates, which make me smile and feel better about not being able to let him out myself. Klaus and I are SO thankful for Dena. He is always in a great mood after her visits! And I can tell that she shows him love and patience!! Can’t say thank you enough, Dena!
