Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s second favorite human
NEW PETS ACCEPTANCE RATE: 90% Experienced with all sorts of dogs, from fostering to having a reactive dog that was scared of life. This made me learn a lot about how important early socialization is! My current dog joined me at 8 weeks (hes 8 yrs now), and I put a lot of work into giving him lots of different experiences so he's got good social manners. Since he sleeps a lot (lol), getting his energy out and keeping his days interesting are important priorities (a tired dog is a happy dog). This means we get lots of outdoor time: parks, fetch, hikes, the beach, or long walks. Adding another dog or two to our little pack just makes it better. If I watch your dog at least 4+ days, I’ll send you a fun 2–3 minute video recap of your dog’s time here. Dog and Cat CPR certified. I also carry my own pet-sitting insurance.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dena is so great and consistently easy to work with. We are repeat customers and my pup always comes back happy and relaxed!
Dena was great; she responded to a last minute booking with great professionalism. Highly recommended
Dena took such good care of Yuzu! We felt at peace knowing she was well looked after & got all the play she could get (though she'll always demand more).
Pickle always has a great time with Dena!
Thanks for your flexibility!
Dena was great! I especially loved the summary video she made of our doggos during their stay with her.

A typical day
Mornings start with a walk and breakfast. Afternoons are for naps, toys, or hanging out with me while I work. Midday, we head to a park for a longer walk, play fetch, or explore a hiking trail. Evenings include another walk and some treats before winding down for the night.

Also, if they have any dietary restrictions or medical needs, I want to make sure they get the best care possible.
