Mature, Caring Pet Lover
Pet care experience
I am a 'lady of a certain age,' with the maturity and patience that come with it. I have a calm, positive attitude. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, geese and chickens, as well as an appreciation for nature and wild places. I miss my Dalmatian companion of 15 years, and will provide excellent care for your pets. I'm active enough to keep up with energetic dogs (although I don't run!). However, arthritis and occasional back pain mean that I don't take on large dogs, or those that are strong "pullers" anymore (except Dalmatians - I'll always make an exception for Dalmatians).
Reviews
Denise provided such great care for Archer. We were excited to see the photos she sent everyday and the updates to how he was doing.
Denise was AWESOME! She took care of Kyllee and Kisses fantastic! Kisses fell in love with her husband! That is so sweet and shows how comfortable each of them felt at her house! She sent me pics on a daily basis. They were very cute and helped me feel that they were safe and doing great! That was really important to me since this was the very first time they had stayed with anyone besides family. Denise us very personable and great at what she does! I would definitely use Denise again to keep my little ones! Rover is very unique and a fa
We left our 6 month old puppy with Denise for a week+. This was the first time we left him for such a long time. He was less trained and more pampered by us, so we were not sure how he would adjust to the new environment and how the host would bear his tantrums. But Denise kept us updated is about his health, everyday routine along with pictures. When he rejoined us, we could see how much he loved Denise. We are sure that we will not look for anyone else for our future trips. Thank you so much, for taking care of our puppy and treating him with home made food when he had diarrhea.
Denise is great sends me pictures so I don't miss them so much! thanks Denise!

Safety, trust & environment
My husband and I live in a senior community with a fenced dog exercise area and lots of space for leashed walks. I'm also able to take your dog to nearby parks and trails for more extended walk time.
Home
Information Denise D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special or medical needs. I have given oral meds, and in one case, insulin shots for an elderly cat. I do add $1/day to administer medications.
A typical day
I have a fenced dog exercise area and lots of space for leashed walks where I live, for dogs under 25 pounds. My husband and I will play with your pets in our home, and I'm able to take them to nearby parks for longer walks. I also take pictures every day or so to keep you up on their activities while with me.

Availability
I currently work on an on-call basis, and from home, so I'm available to walk, play with, and even board your pets most days of the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm able to make adjustments based on your schedule most of the time. However, due to the community where I live, I cannot board dogs larger than 25 pounds. I am available to walk and play with dogs of all sizes.
