Pet care experience

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 11yo Basset Hound and 2yo 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 from Pearland to Houston, 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!

As always, my doggies were spoiled at Dena’s house. It’s a blessing to not have to worry when I travel because I know they are taken care of extremely well.

Never have to worry when Dena is watching our pup! She communicates frequently, sends plenty of pictures and is very attentive to all the dogs she cares for.
