Pet care experience

Tell your dog I love them

**I won't take in multiple dogs without the express consent of both pet parents unless they're in the same family. I am always accommodating of the pups that don't necessarily enjoy the company of other dogs. :) About me: I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats, and really love caring for the fur babies under my care. I have fostered shelter dogs for years, as well. I live a block from a very pet friendly park that we go to everyday and love going on hiking/swimming adventures whenever possible. Your dog will definitely not be bored! Please note that the price on my profile is the base price and may go up depending on the age and energy level of your dog. I have a two dog max at my place unless they are from the same family.

Dena was a dream. So very kind and helpful. Clear communication along with photos lessened my anxiety considerably. I will definitely rebook.

Dena took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were gone. Our house looked great, and my garden was cared for as well. She was great with our dogs, very communicative, and I can tell our girls love her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard that borders the street and is great for pups who like to people/dog watch. The dogs have access to and from the yard all day long via a large dog door, weather permitting. I can also accommodate a crate if needed. There is an enclosed dog park nearby and a regular park a block away

A typical day

I have a very dog friendly park a block from house that I take my own dog to every evening, weather permitting. There is a closed elementary school property that is now used an as an unofficial dog park by the neighborhood. It's completely fenced in and so much fun for the pups. Daycare clients will get a trip to barking springs or the greenbelt.

Please let me know if your dog is crated, requires medication, and what their eating schedule is. I always like to do a meet and greet beforehand to get the lowdown in your pet's needs.
