Pet care experience

500+ Dogs Can't Be Wrong!

I'm a VERY experienced pet owner and have spent the last 24 years volunteering in animal rescue. I have personally fostered over 500 dogs during my years in rescue, of all breed mixes/ages/sizes so there's pretty much no breed, medical condition or behavioral issue I've not seen or dealt with. I will love and care for your pets as I would my own and if you're the owner of a special needs dog, that's my "specialty" as I have loved fostering many special need dogs in the past. I do not have children; my home has a fully fenced chain link yard and live in a ranch (without stairs) in a very quiet neighborhood just north of M59 on the Shelby Township/Rochester border. I'm available for pet sitting in my home and your dog(s) will live as one of my own pets, in a clean and quiet environment. I would love to meet your beloved fur friend!

Denise was very professional and had a great home environment for Charlie! I am always nervous to leave her but was very confident in her care while I was gone. She sent lots of updates and pictures and Charlie was very happy when I picked her up :)
