Availability

As a full time pet care provider, I spend a lot of time home with the dogs I cake care of. Our typical day starts at 8:00am we go to the backyard, eat breakfast between 9:00/10:00am, go out for play&potty each 4 hour. Eat dinner between 6:00/7:00pm and our last potty break is 10:00pm before bedtime. I have some dog walking clients on a regular basis and are usually gone from Monday to Friday between 11:00 up to 3:30pm.

Pet care experience

I have had pets since I have memory, I grew up with them and I am a natural pet lover. I am a full time professional pet sitter, I am very flexible and would always be willing to provide the best care. Since I was very young, my family and I got involved in animal rescue activities, that endowed me plenty experience taking care of pets and I truly enjoy being around them, my experience includes a wide variety of dog breeds , ages&stages, cats, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, birds, fish and turtles. I will be pleased to take care of your beloved furry companions and send you updates with photos included, to allow you enjoy your time away and have peace of mind that your furry family members are in good hands. I live with 3 dogs and a ferret. I’ve been providing pet care services since 2017, a number of clients are with me since I started. I have a dog training certification by Animal Behavior College. I am reliable, experienced and always willing to please my human and furry clients with any special request. I am someone who enjoy about connecting, taking care and helping others. Please contact me for a complimentary meet and greet and even if you don’t see me “available” on the platform, if your pup is friendly, I might be able to open a spot. Looking forward meeting you and your precious pet family! 🐾

Denise took good care of our two teacup schnauzers for a week. She sent daily photos and notes, and listened well to indications for each dog.
