DOG MOM FOR HIRE

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Dena and my BFFs are dogs. I understand the importance of having a reliable, consistent pet sitter that you can count on to care for your fur baby. I'm home full-time, so the care is very personable and attentive; it allows me to dote on your baby and treat them like one of the family. If you're looking for an animal lover with years of experience, I'm your girl! I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and I've been active in rescue work for several years. I'm here to care for your pet as if they were my own. My fur babies and I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon! Available full-time, 24/7 for you & your pup. I've never met a dog I didn't like and vice versa. Let's chat about a schedule that works for you and your furry best friend. I have a fenced yard, live right next to a park, and my neighborhood is great for walks. The local dog park is a quick drive down the road also. We can be as active or inactive as your dog needs. My goal is to reduce the amount of stress on both you as a pet owner and your dog, by avoiding kennels and providing a comfortable (like home) experience so you both can enjoy your time apart, stress-free. If your dog is coming for a daycare or overnight visit, please bring your dog's normal food, treats, toys, medications, bedding, a shirt that smells like you, etc. I want to make sure they have whatever they need during their stay.

Our 2nd time using Dena to look after our baby girl. Great job again.

Dena is amazing and I’m so happy we found her for our gentle (very anxious) giant. Thank you Dena!

This was so much better than sending our girl to the kennel. Dena did a great job checking on her! We will definitely use her again.

Dena went above and beyond and I am so grateful she was available to take care of my baby. We will definitely use her again.

Information Dena S. would like to know about your pet

I have the most experience with small to medium-sized dogs. I'm knowledgeable in the care of senior dogs, those with special needs, e.g., the blind, and deaf, those requiring medication or a special diet, etc. If your dog has any of these conditions, please let me know. I'm more than happy to work with you both. I love ALL the fur babies! While I only board and provide daycare for dogs, I’m able to make drop-in visits to care for other pets including cats, ferrets, bunnies, guinea pigs, mice & rats, birds, fish, or all of the above. *I am only able to board/provide daycare to dogs that are completely house-trained, or crate-trained. **Settings for daycare & overnight boarding show only dogs up to 40 lbs, however I occasionally take dogs up to 50 lbs., so please ask if you have any questions about the weight restrictions.

A typical day

I'm down for providing your fur baby with a day as similar to being at home with you as I can... if they are dog park fans, we can go. If they are lap lovers that want to watch a little Bravo TV on the sofa with me, that works too! I have plenty of dog beds here for napping and toys for playing.
