Denise can care for

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Availability

have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Each morning begins with a walk for exercise and potty time, followed by additional walks and breaks throughout the day based on your dog’s needs. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to adjust my schedule to ensure they receive proper care, supervision, and engagement. Whether your pup enjoys structured walks, playtime, or a more relaxed routine, I tailor the day to keep them comfortable, active, and happy. For daycare, my standard rate covers up to 8 hours (8 AM – 4 PM). Extended care beyond that is $15/hour and must be confirmed ahead of time. This will be communicated upon reservation request.

Safety, trust & environment

If you have a crate or pen for your pup, you should definitely bring it with you. When I leave home, I put our fury baby in her gated pen. Plenty walks will be provided and I have a lot of space outdoors for such activity. Please provide paw wipes and poop bags.

Information Denise B. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs, I do have a few guidelines: I specialize in caring for small dogs (up to 30 lbs), similar in size to my own pup. All dogs should be up to date on vaccinations and well-socialized. For the best experience, I am best suited for dogs who are house-trained, crate-trained (or comfortable in a pen), and able to settle calmly in a home environment. At this time, I am not the best fit for dogs with significant separation anxiety or excessive barking. Puppies are welcome as long as they are fully house-trained. While I do not accommodate dogs with complex medical needs, I am happy to administer oral medication with clear instructions. These guidelines help me maintain a calm, safe, and enjoyable space for every pup in my care 🐾

A typical day

Your pup’s day will be a balance of activity, exploration, and relaxation in a safe, home environment. We start the day with a morning walk around the neighborhood, giving your dog a chance to stretch, explore, and take in new sights and smells. Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy additional walks, potty breaks, and supervised playtime. There’s also space to run and play in the backyard, along with time to relax indoors in a calm, cozy setting. I adjust each day based on your dog’s energy level — whether they love to stay active or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. Every day is designed to keep your pup happy, engaged, and comfortable 🐾

Pet care experience

I’m excited to welcome new pups into a calm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family. My home isn’t a kennel — it’s a cozy, safe space where your dog can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I’ve been a dedicated dog mom for the past 6 years, and our pup is friendly, well-socialized, and loves having playmates around. She truly enjoys the company of other dogs and often becomes fast friends with our guests. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care each dog receives. I intentionally keep a small, manageable environment so every pup feels safe, seen, and part of the pack. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a more relaxed vibe, I tailor the experience to their needs. Who knows — your pup might just leave with a new best furry friend 🐾

Denise was absolutely amazing! As a new pup mom, my family and I were a bit nervous however, the moment we arrived, she greeted us with a warm welcome . Suede’Noir immediately went to Denise very happy and in that moment, we were at Peace! Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and videos and were interested in using her service again. Thanks Denise 😊

Denise cared for our pup, Archie, while we went away on a family vacation. It was Archie’s first time away from home, so I was a bit nervous. But Denise was fantastic! She kept us updated while we were away, and sent pictures of Archie each day—we knew he was in good hands. 😊 We will definitely use Denise again, and we are so happy to have found her!

My mini golden doodle Cinnamon loves Denise and her family. When she visits she is always well taken care of. When she returns for a visit she is excited to be with her dog friend Jade. Looking forward to the next time.
