Pet care experience

A paws-itive pet experience!

I have 20+ years of experience owning, loving, and caring for dogs. I've cared for many diverse breeds with diverse personalities. I'm comfortable administering medications, catering to special needs, or diets. I offer reliability and a calming presence that puts both pets and owners at ease. I also have 2 very friendly small dogs of my own (4 and 8 years old) that I raised from puppies!

Dog Walking • Sep 13, 2026

Denise was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request on a holiday weekend to check in on my dog while I was out of town and take her on walks. She quickly set up a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet my dog, learn exactly what was needed, and get familiar with the routine. She communicated with me throughout my trip by sending photos and updates to let me know how everything was going. She even alerted me after noticing that someone else (besides her) might’ve been in my home between walks, which I REALLY appreciated. My dog clearly adored her and responded very well to her care. I’d trust Denise with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2026

Denise was incredible with our Bentley boy! She accepted our last minute booking (on Labor Day weekend) and sent us updates everyday. We definitely recommend Denise and look forward to having her watch our puppy again. :)

I can’t recommend Denise enough as a pet sitter. She’s an incredible animal lover and a devoted dog owner herself, so she truly understands the level of care, patience and attention pets need. She’s caring, compassionate and extremely dependable. You can feel confident knowing your pets will be treated like family in her care.

Denise was a reliable and caring sitter for my dog. My dog suffers from separation anxiety, so I provided Denise with a list of things to help keep her comfortable during her stay. Denise followed everything carefully, and it made a big difference. When I picked my dog up after a few days, I could tell she truly enjoyed being with Denise—and she even ate her food, which is usually a challenge when I’m away. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a sitter who will make their dog feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

Denise has taken the best care of our dogs! Her attention to their needs and behavior is second to none. If there seems to be something odd, she communicates the situation for the benefit of the dogs and myself. It is very clear that she genuinely cares for animals and wants the best for them. Whether it's the walking time, play time, meal time, or chill time, she is one with the pups!

I am currently working part-time so I do have flexibility. I am taking new and returning clients Monday- Friday (Dogs ONLY) at the moment for walking or in-home care. I am willing to work some Saturdays and Sundays with a 3 day or more advance notice. Just send me a message! I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evenings for walks, and I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I also aim to provide clear communication and dependable scheduling so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away.
