Pet care experience

Happy Tongues by Denise

The thing that you'll love most about me is how much I love the pets I care for. When they come to stay with me I treat them like they are on vacation, giving them love and play as well as the care they deserve. I am a Veteran who takes the importance of a pet in a person's life very seriously. When I board my dog I need to feel comfortable that he's going to be treated like he is part of the boarder's family...I strive to give that comfort to every dog owner who boards with me. When I come visit your dog (or cat) I don't just drop in and check that your baby is safe...I will spend time playing with them, scritching that spot that just demands attention, checking they have the food and water needed, giving them a treat (should you permit/want) and reminding them that they are loved. I will send you pictures...I love pictures of my boy when I'm gone, I want you to have that fun as well.

Denise has been dependable taking care of our kitten for us when we've needed to be away from him, we appreciate the peace of mind that provides and will ask her to drop in on him again if we need to be away.

Denise was great, she was reliable and stopped by as scheduled, despite foot surgery... that's dedication to ensure our pet was looked after! Uno and we thank you!

Denise was a delight and very attentive to our dog, Honeybear, a chocolate lab. I would recommend her as an excellent dog watcher. She sent us daily photos and well written paragraphs on Honeybear’s behavior and daily antics.

Pets

A typical day

I will walk them around the neighborhood, play with them (ball, tug-of-war, hide-and-go-seek (ask...it's fun for them!) If permitted I can also take them to the park...I've researched the ones local to here.

I would prefer to have a meet and greet for any dog that comes to board or day care. This way I (and my boy Casey) can get to know each other....and more importantly, you get to see how I am with your baby.
