Information Denise G. would like to know about your pet

I have many senior doggies that I care for and can administer oral medications and injections, as well as plenty of TLC. I have no medical training for dogs or people so I always confirm special care, needs, and emergency procedures with pet families .

A typical day

Since I take mostly smaller doggies, the yard - including squirrels, rabbits, and ball play/fetch - provides plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. And since I'm home much of the time and work in the yard and garden often we can be in and out often depending on weather.

DOG FRIENDLY HOUSE AND YARD

Pet care experience

I love dogs! And after I lost my second dog, I was feeling a little lonely and looking for the good company of a sweet doggy. Since my husband passed away I live alone - it was me and my 2 dogs, both Pugs, one female since a puppy and 1 handicapped male rescue. My work schedule is flexible and I work from home for the most part. And since joining the Rover family, the doggies I am fortunate to care for are like members of my family. And I have to admit I have a soft spot for the seniors - we are all getting older and we should all be able to relax and enjoy these most precious moments! So I am always grateful to be blessed with such sweet company.

I am very blessed to have found Denise to look after my dog Biscuit. Biscuit was very happy to see her in the mornings and I knew she was well spoiled throughout the day.

Denise is wonderful! She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. She was so willing to follow the same itinerary for meals and potty time. Thank you very much!

This was Harper’s first time staying with anyone outside of the family. We were very nervous, not sure how he would do. We were so happy when Denise sent daily pictures showing how happy Harper was and how well he adjusted. Denise obviously cares about the dogs she takes care of. We will definitely have Harper stay with her again!

Denise is wonderful with my dog Betty. It's been a while since we've seen Denise but when we pulled up to her house Betty got very excited. Denise also has a lovely yard for Betty to play in. I can't thank Denise enough for always taking good care of Betty.

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.
