Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced and locked yard with 6 ft wood fencing with two friendly dogs to romp around with. We also have an extra large crate available if your pet is more comfortable. I have a large dog door and they are welcome to go in and out as they please. At a clients home I make sure to talk to everyone, give love (if wanted) and follow directions given as I arrive. Before I leave I make sure all is safe and locked.

Dena was a relief as my time away from my furrballs extended twice. It was an extremely stressful trip and knowing I could contact her and receive a timely reply was extremely valuable, She provided notice on days that she would be arriving late, always submitted a Rover card so I had pictures and updates on their litter box behavior eating an appetite. My little girl definitely flourished with Dena! She also went above and beyond when she coordinated a change in my door lock with my maintenance crew at the apartment complex when the battery unexpectedly died. She was patient and flexible while I was highly stressed across the country!

We feel very lucky to have found Dena to take care of our 3 cats while we were out of the country for 3 weeks. Before we left she was very patient with us showing her all the details of their care, and we could tell she was a natural pet person and experienced with all types of pet situations. We have to keep 2 of our cats strictly separated from the other, and switch them between spaces of the house periodically, and she was understanding and comfortable managing all that. During our time away, Dena sent daily photos, videos, and written updates and we were pleased to know that she actually enjoyed getting to know and appreciate the quirks of our cat babies, rather than just going through the motions of feeding and scooping. Based on our experience, we would 100% recommend Dena to other pet parents as a trustworthy caretaker. Thank you so much!!
