Pet care experience

Pets are our passion!

*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 wonderful. Biscuit really enjoyed her time. She gets so much love and care. She definitely loves coming to Dena’s house!

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.

Dena and her family provided Tommy with so much love and attention! Dena went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute request and then an extension. She is top notch and so kind!

Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for pets to run and play. Our home is smoke-free and full of love for animals. We especially value and care for them because God created them, and we believe He cares about how they are treated.

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

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!
