Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am conveniently located near the airport for travel. I live in a wonderful, safe area. I have a fenced in yard perfect for playing fetch and bathroom. Over the years of rescuing, I’ve had dogs that are flight risk or medical needs and I’ve always been able to provide a safe and trusted environment. My home is kept simple and extremely clean at all times.

Thank you so much Dena!! This was our first time trying an in-home pet-sitter and beforehand I was a bit anxious, but it worked out so well. Our doggies loved her, and we knew while we were away that they were in great hands! Thanks again!!

We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.

Frank had the best time with Dena! She has a very nice family/home with a fenced in yard for him to run wild (he must have had a fun week because he fell right asleep when we got home) I most appreciate Dena's patience with Frank's puppy tendencies and attention to his bulldogs needs. I will definitely be messaging Dena for future pup sitting :)

Dena is incredible , Our last minute travel plans for the Christmas weekend were accommodated beyond as most providers were already committed. Our pet was cared for safe and sound as an epic snowstorm ravaged the Buffalo NY area .We were constantly updated with communication on how things were going as we watched the unbelievable news unfold . Our return trip was canceled and needed to extend our pickup time . Dena was again most accommodating! Highly recommend her services in caring for your pet!

Please read information listed in profile for specific details, requirements, and hours of service. I work from home and homeschool. I’m extremely attentive and caring. Each dogs stay is customized to their needs. My husband also loves dogs, so when they’re here, they’re truly treated like family. I give families peace of mind knowing their fur baby will receive top notch love and care.

Meet and greet before booking are encouraged and preferred. The only dogs I do not currently accept are those not fully and completely potty trained, (exceptions for puppies under 6 months), as well as dogs with excessive barking, excessive jumping on children and countertops. All dogs must be crate trained.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
