Pet care experience
I love all dogs and cats, the "ugly" ones, the huge ones, the tiny ones, the old ones, the young ones, the tall ones, the short ones, the three legged ones, and all the ones in between. The thing about me, is I have this love for animals, doesn't matter if they are my own or someone else's. Our pets are our family, and I treat mine and others just like I would want mine to be treated! I am so passionate about animals, and have been since I can remember. I grew up with a peek-a-poo, and a shipoo and I currently have 2 lab mixes (black (dude) and golden lab (Douglas)) a mini bulldog named Sherman, a Maine Coon domestic mix named Popeye and his sister Olive Oyl and a domestic short hair grey and white kitty named bug.. I have experience with raw food, canned food, and dry food as well as medical needs for animal including (giving meds with syringes and/or pills, weighing food, bathing, vomit, diarrhea, crystals in urine and after surgery care) if there are needs prior or if these were to arise I would gladly do anything to keep your pets happy and comfortable, when their mommies or daddies aren't there. Your babies are my number one priorities! Plus I also do daily photos and videos or FaceTime… (I am guilty of all when I am away)
Reviews
We had to go out of town when one of our dogs was sick. It was hard to do. However, I felt confident leaving him in Dena's care. She kept us well informed of how he was doing, and showed all the pets (we have a small menagerie) lots of love and attention. I won't hesitate to leave her in charge of my fur babies. They loved her, and she loves them. This family highly recommends Dena. We give her 8 thumbs up! ????

Safety, trust & environment
When I am in your home. I do not snoop, i don’t yell at your babies and I do not leave messes. I will 100% make sure everything is safe when I leave. As well as make sure your baby knows I or you will be back soon.

Information Dena V. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of any medical needs, as well as special food directions that are needed. Please also have some cleaner available, just in case something were to require cleaning (as my dogs tend to get a little upset from both ends when I leave after our FaceTime call)
A typical day
So my typical day would probably be a little different to your typical day. Due to my household full of 4 legged babies, I tend to play too much with them. The kitties get catnip probably about once a week and that’s enough excitement for them for a day or so as well as my daughter and I! Haha! For the dogs. Their favorite is the dog park or grandma and grandpas house. My golden lab Douglas could be at the dog park sun up to sun down running off by himself and well as the little bulldog greeting every single 2 legged person available, Dude the black lab tends to stay pretty close. He is a rescue so things are a little different for him.
