I ultimately didn't use Denise because my sweet pup died prior to the set time. However, I have to say her kindness and sincerity moved me and led to feel safe should I have needed her care.

Denise took wonderful care of my excitable corgi. I could tell right away that he was going to love staying with her in her peaceful home. I would definitely book with Denise again.

Denise really took care of my girls. I really appreciate the affection and care she gave them. I know we have found a home away from home for our fur babies. Thank you Denise for everythin!

Denise was a true gem. She cared for my little guy, who is almost 15 years old, like he was one of her own children. Alfonso was very content with Denise, and I would trust her to take care of him again.

Schedule

I have a fairly open schedule, so most requests are easily arranged. When I am caring for dogs, they are my primary focus- I want to give them a very comforting, truly happy experience. I am gentle and kind, and dogs tend to love me, & I them.

Safety, trust & environment

I am completely committed to caring for dogs in my home. Lots of affection & interaction helps create a bond between us. I always stay with them in our fenced dog yard-and we have lots of street walking available. If your dog likes dog parks, I am happy to take them- there are 2 just a short drive away. Indoor play provides fun & activity, too. I want them to have a relaxed, comfortable, and loving time.

A typical day

I am always with them as they roam in our wooded, fenced yard and we can walk in the neighborhood which dogs love to explore. Dog park outings are an option, plus lots of cuddles, and full attention to their moods & needs. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, so it is easy to relax together at home.

Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs that I should be aware of, such as anxiety, medication, daily eating and activity routine, comfortability in the car, and so on. I want to make sure their every need is met.
