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.

If you need a cat sitter Dena is the person you're looking for. She came to my home before my leaving date to meet me, get instructions & make sure she & the cat where compatible. She & my cat instantly liked each other very much so I knew he was in good hands during my time away. Dena was reliable, followed instructions, friendly & professional. She went out if her way to make sure that my cat received not only care but also the companionship he craved. She sent pictures & a video of the cat that let me know he was very happy to have her there. I'm grateful & very appreciative of Dena & her services. I will definitely be booking with her for my next time away.

Dena is absolutely amazing and communicative, and even did some extra things I did not need her to do to help me out. She let me know and sent pictures every time she saw my pup, and did a wonderful job with being patient with my kitties. I am beyond grateful to her!

I booked a few drop-in visits for my cat Tilly, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received! I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos after each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Tilly was safe and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Dena to anyone!

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!
