Information Dena E. would like to know about your pet

IMPORTANT: If your dog is nervous or unpredictable around children and may potentially nip, we would prefer not to host your pet. For sleeping arrangements, the adults in our home are not able to co-sleep with animals; however, our children are happy to have a dog sleep in their room if needed. Your dog should also be able to sleep through the night independently without an adult present. Thank you for considering us!

A typical day

A typical day for us includes math, Latin, logic, cooking, cleaning—and the occasional coffee break! 😊 We would love to welcome your pet into our busy, happy routin

Pet care experience

*Disclaimer* If your dog does not sleep throughout the night and independently from the adults in the home, we will not be a good fit. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I’ve been dog- and kitty-sitting since my college days. Now that my kids are older, we’re excited to jump back into this fun again! We love walking, playing, and giving pets lots of attention. My kids are 17, 15 and 11, and they’re eager to help serve your family and care for your pets. One of the best parts is that we homeschool, so your pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Thanks for trusting our family.

Dena and her family are taking care of Luna so well and she was so happy to stay her house and I appreciate their kindness. This was our second time to use Dena and I will definitely ask her again in future. Thank you so much!

Dena and her family did a great job with Biscuit. She was happy and content when I picked her up. It is clear that they provided her with loving care. We will definitely be back.
