Availability

I am an entrepreneur so I have availability to provide full time sitting, care, walks, runs, socializing, potty and play breaks. I love to walking Sanchez’s slow street or any of our local parks, beaches, daily and happy to run as well if that’s the dogs preference. Happy do short quick walks for hours long hikes/ walks to really run and tire out a dog, if that’s needed. I’m a pet lover who isn’t quite ready to have my own so I look forward to pouring on my love and care into other’s pets.

Information Dena H. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate full transparency so I know what to expect if your pet has special needs, needs extra attention around other animals, areas of the neighborhood. If they have tendencies to nip or growl at other dogs, how they play with others at the park, etc.

A typical day

I love to walk dogs at the pace they like, letting them sniff where they want, while respecting the neighbors homes that do not allow dogs to pee or poop in their area. Happy to let them lead me on their favorite route within reason.

Dena and her husband are the absolute best -- so thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. They make sure to understand your dog's needs and give them individualized attention. My dog is a senior dog so she doesn't do long walks, but they made sure to give her plenty of attention and playtime! I could tell my dog had a blast and seemed so comfortable with them. Would book again anytime.
