Safety, trust & environment

Multiple walks per day and currently no other pets or children in my home. Live in a gated community and the area has little traffic . If at a clients home, I find out what their pet usually does and try to follow their routine. When mom and dad are gone, routine helps them feel safer

Information Denise D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know as much about your furry pet as you can provide. Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they tend to run out the front door when it’s opened? Do they like children? Can they go to the dog park? The more info I have, the better I can serve your pet!

A typical day

Love playing with dogs and cats. Hopefully you will provide their favorite toys. Long walks for young dogs and I even have a dog stroller for the seniors.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets of many kinds for 30+ years…dogs,cats,rabbits,hamsters,geese, chickens, ducks. Neighbors and friends have called on me often when they need help and it’s become commonplace for me to help out (mostly dogs and cats). I had to lay my pug, Sadie, to rest recently (16 1/2 years) and taking care of other peoples pets just seemed like a natural segue. Have lots of experience with senior dogs and I even have a doggie stroller if you have a senior pet but you still want them out and about! Otherwise, love taking them for walks on the beach or around town or just chilling at home , if that’s more their style. Most important, your pets will be SAFE with me and well loved

Denise was fantastic and we came home to a very happy pup!! She was caring and made him feel comfortable, and communicated well and asked great questions. We did not worry about Okami at all when he was in her care!

Denise is amazing with Charlie. We were first time Rover users. She walked us through the process prior to booking. While we were out of town Denise maintained communication with pictures of our spoiled Charlie having a great time. We will definitely book again with Denise.
