Adventure Awaits with Scout It Out!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Denise and I have one pup, Coal B Jean Lafitte. I adopted Coal B shortly after my best friend, Scout passed away at age 11 years 8 months. Both of my dogs are rescues from New Orleans. It was in New Orleans that I was able to branch out and operate my own private dog walking and sitting services, "SCOUT IT OUT". During that time I house sat, dog walked and pet sat for many clients that quickly became friends and they referred me to their friends. In 2019, after 12 years in New Orleans, this Texas native returned home to live in the Riverside area of Austin. I have experience with multi pet homes, ranging from cats, dogs, birds, rats, chickens and turtles. My home is open for over night stays and I am always able to come stay in your home, with my dog, if needed. While in my care, your pup(s) will get play time with Coal B, have free reign of my comfortable home, hugs, cuddles, baby talk, treats (in moderation) as many walks as needed, visits to the the multiple parks and trails in town and car rides. I like to switch things up for my own dog while engaging in proper socialization. I like to keep it fun and adventurous.

WE LOVE DENISE!!!! Denise has taken excellent care of my pooch and my home on several occasions. She is thorough and passionate about dogs and it shows. She taught me lots about my dog too. Cannot recommend her enough, there are some scary dog sitters out there! My dog is obsessed with Denise and her pup Coal B and it is such an immense relief to know that my baby is in the most capable of hands when I’m away.

Denise is an excellent and caring pet sitter. Not only did she keep our old hound dog happy and comfortable, she wasn't daunted by also keeping tabs on our 5 chickens and house full of plants while we left town for the weekend. We also appreciated that she was willing to come by beforehand so she could meet the pets and make sure everyone got along. Denise is trust worthy, communicative, kind, and she sends pet pictures. What more could you want?

Denise has been such a light in Mikeys life! The company and love her doggo and her give my boy is so tender and every time I pick him up/ he gets dropped off he is so happy and exhausted from all the playing/walking they join him with. I'm so appreciative of having Denise and Colby around and it feels so good to give Mikey this care when I'm busy at work.

Denise has watched our two cats in New Orleans a number of times. I love having her as a pet sitter. She is sweet and patient, easygoing and reliable. I wish we still lived in the same town so she could always watch our cats. She’s just the best! I would recommend her to anyone, especially dog owners! I’ve known her for 5+ years and watched her relationship with many dogs. She pays attention to each animal’s personality and works with them to get them comfortable and keep them happy and healthy. Like I said, she is the best!

Information Denise C. would like to know about your pet

—>ABSOLUTELY NO SAME DAY DAY BOOKINGS!<— **ALL dogs MUST be scheduled, IN ADVANCE, for a standard meet & greet on neutral ground near your home or mine.** It is only then that I am able to conduct a proper introduction of myself and my dog with your pet. Should your pet not be socialized, display aggressive or unsatisfactory habits (nipping, excessive barking, marking indoors, etc.) towards me or Coal B Jean, we will discuss other options if I am able to provide them. However, in the instances where I nor my pet be able to establish a connection with your pet, other arrangements will need to be made. I'm comfortable with all breeds. I have the most experience with Pit Bulls, Bulldogs (French/American/English), Rotties, Shi Tzu, terriers and mixed breeds.

A typical day

Daily trips to Roy Guerrero Park or Lady Bird Trail are most convenient given my location. We will have ample play time with my dog, Coal B Jean and any other approved pet pals. For your pet's safety: NO DOG PARKS or OFF LEASH adventures. There is a fenced area in my complex for your pet to enjoy a game of fetch safely or in my own fenced yard.
