Good with people and pets!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Denae and I am an avid animal lover!!! My previous pets include cats, dogs, hamsters, fish and hermit crabs. Oh, I almost forgot - also SEA MONKEYS! I am honest, reliable and fun! I love animals, children and people from all walks of life. I also love being outdoors, eating yummy foods and traveling. I grew up in Idaho, but have been living in Oregon since 2002. I began my time in Oregon as an AmeriCorps member, serving as a live-in assistant to people with developmental disabilities. I earned my undergraduate degree from Portland State University (PSU) and am currently back at PSU working towards my Masters in Social Work degree. My program is part-time and remote, thus I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Which means I can provide pet/house sitting with or without much notice and be available for long-term or short-term stays. Also, if your animal is aging or has special needs, my schedule is such that I am free to provide more frequent walks and/or medication administration.
Reviews
Denae was so great! She was kind and patient with getting to know our pups. Very conscious, and great communication. We felt very comfortable having her in our house and we look forward to booking her again!
Denae was such a great find! She is very relaxed and accomodating. She enjoys walking so our dogs got nice long walks (which they really need). Denae was very responsible and reliable. I came home to happy pups!
Denae was great. I had a last minute med family emergency and She was able to come and dog sit for me that day. My dog seem very comfortable with her and when I came home he was relaxed and happy and the house looked great. I would definitely use Denae again.
Denae O has watched my two kitties with such wonderful care. As well as keep my goldfish happy. :) I have 2 cats, one young and one elderly. The elderly cat is can be a bit of a problem due to her age and medication. But my little girl LOVES Denae's visits! I will be a repeat customer on my next vacation. It is such a relief to have a reliable, trustworthy person in my 'babies' lives and my home.

Information Denae O. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. Honestly, I love all dogs - regardless of size, breed, etc. The things I would want to know prior to pet sitting would be: - Dietary restrictions, - Exercise routines, - Grooming expectations, - Temperament issues (if they exist), - Clarity regarding how to address any unexpected emergency situations and the contact information for veterinary care, should anything unexpected arise.
A typical day
If you allow me to spend time with your pets, I will give him/her/they lots of love and affection. In regards to dogs, I am comfortable walking dogs in urban environments as well as taking them to the beach or going for a hike - depending on what you want and what your dog would enjoy. I can also work with your dog on any training that they may be learning.
