Pet care experience

I just wanna love all the pets!

I’ve loved and taken care of animals since I was a kid. My family used to call me the dog whisperer because I was the family and friend pet sitter. I have some training experience from my own pets and those of my family. I am a firm believer that a pet is truly a part of the family and should be treated as such!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is like my child. She gets love and affection all throughout the day and as often as I can afford. I also have a large fenced in yard that my pup loves to run in all the time. I do my best to keep my pup happy and healthy. I want her to live a long and happy life.

Dena was a great sitter for us - very conscientious and dependable. Our cats were thrilled to have her come over and we felt assured that they were well taken care of.

Dena did a great job caring for my 3 dogs while I was away. She fed them, played ball with them for exercise, and loved them up! She was great at communicating with me, and sent Rover cards and photos! She was very professional and friendly. I will definitely call on Dena again in the future for dog care and would highly recommend her!

Dena is great! One of our dogs ended up on a couple medications due to a leg injury and Dena was more than happy to give them to her twice a day. She left detailed messages on how the dogs were doing after each visit. She also included some fun pictures of them. We could tell they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you, Dena!

I work from home and can house dogs during the day. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings and bringing a furry friend along sounds like such a treat! Weekend hikes are also more enjoyable with company!

Something important for me to know is how your pups temperament is. If I’m dropping in to see your pet/s, I’d love to know what to expect. I’m super observant so if your pet has allergies/sniffles or quirks I’d love to know in advance so I know not to worry! I have pets of my own so if I’m boarding your pet in my home it’s also important to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Is your pet cat friendly? Are they crate trained, potty trained and do they have any behaviors to be aware of? How can I best support your pet while you’re away? Do they have food allergies or a sensitive stomach? Are they reactive or mouthy? Providing the most information is the best way to ensure a positive interaction and experience for everyone!
