Pet care experience

Looking to love your pets as my own

My very first job was working at a veterinary for 2 years. I absolutely love all animals, and had to provide many services to many different animals such as grooming, feeding, walking, boarding, of course play time. I have had dogs all of my life. I currently have my Warrior Princess Xena (corgi) and my cat (Yuffie). I have owned a mixed breed Dachshund and Chinese terrier for 12 years, a Maltese for 11 years and an American Eskimo for a year ( I gave her to my best friend when she lost her dog and she had a huge yard for her to run around in). I've babysat many of my friends dogs and made sure they were properly taken care of as well, a great dane, golden retriever, grey hound and a chocolate lab. Your animals health and well being will be my top priority.

Denise is an absolute PET WONDER! She took the time to really get to know my dog before she came, and spent plenty of time giving him extra love and attention during her visit. My pup will be happy to have her back anytime.

Denise is very caring, kind, patient, and loving towards Dusty and Malala. As Malala can be a handful and her attention span is all over the place, Denise just knew what to do to keep her track in the most kind and loving way. We’re so lucky to have had Denise as our walker. We will be using her more often. She also gave a detailed report card, and lots of pictures which is helpful to see how their walks went. Thank you for all your help, Denise! ❤️❤️❤️

Calendar and availability

Schedule

You're pet will be with me almost 24/7. I rarely leave them alone. If left alone I have baby gates set up in my kitchen and will normally put their bed and food and water while I set out for maybe an hour tops. I remote work from home so most of the time during the weekdays they are just with me in my office then have full roam of my house for play and snuggle time.

Standard health questions, if your dog is updated on all of their shots and most importantly their flea medication. If they have anything they don’t like so I know not to do that.
