Grover and I are home every day, almost all day! There are plenty of dog beds here for the pups to get comfortable. I try to shop on days when we have no boarders. This way I can be home with our guests.

Denise Loves Big Old Dogs!

Pet care experience

Your dog will enjoy an air conditioned/heated home with a doggy door to a fenced yard. Right behind us is Cole Park veterinary clinic. Grover Cleveland is a love sponge and a therapy dog! My Aussie is playful and gets along very well with other dogs. The dog door is opened at 6am and stays open until 9pm. Back yard is fenced and shaded. Water is always available and food will be served as per request. Dogs will sleep wherever they want. My home is clean, my arms are open for hugs and my bedroom door stays open at night. I am a widow on a fixed income. Let me care for your furbaby while you go away. I prefer older dogs. Grover is 14 years old. We are mostly chill and laid back here. Please be on time and always text me when you are on your way. I like to put Grover and friends in the kitchen or the yard so they don't rush the front door when you arrive. Because Grover Cleveland and I are both over 70 years old WE CANNOT ACCEPT HIGH ENERGY DOGS! 🐶 Grover will be 15 this year! Thank you We mostly rest on comfortable beds and watch TV all day! Grover protects us from the mailman every afternoon! To go in and out of the doggie door is the new trick.

Denise did a great job looking after our doggies and sent us daily updates. She has a dog door to the outside which my doggies loved as they don't have that luxury at home.

Denise took wonderful care of my 15-year-old pup, Tonalli! She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear Tonalli felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and safe in her care.

Denise was great! She sent me pictures and updates. I knew that.Kornwallis was well cared for. Her own dog Grover Cleveland was a perfect host. We would definitely recommend Denise and will use her in the future! Kornwallis approve this message!

This was our second time using Denise and our (often shy) dog seemed very glad to see her -- what more could you want? Denise was also helpful and flexible when our travel did not go quite as planned. We will certainly use her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
