Experienced Dog Lover/Trainer 15 Yr

Hello! I'm Denise, a dedicated dog enthusiast with over 15 years of experience in caring for and training dogs. From training my own Texas Blue Lacy dogs in Search and Recovery to providing attentive care for senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of dogs at every stage of life. I offer personalized dog sitting and house-sitting services, catering to beloved companion dogs, prestigious AKC national championship show dogs, and everything in between. I have the experience and expertise to ensure that every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved, whether they need extra exercise, companionship, or a calm presence. I’m committed to tailoring my approach to each dog’s personality and needs, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your canine companion(s)!

It's so nice to be able to take off on a trip without worrying -- Denise is great with dogs and keeps us updated with photos. She takes great care of the house and potted plants, too! Thanks, Denise!

Denise really is the best. When it comes to our babies we put full trust in her. She takes such good care of them and it’s obvious they love her too! I highly recommend her for watching your dogs.

We couldn't be happier with Denise! From beginning to end we know our pets are in great hands. Denise was communicative throughout the entire stay, sending photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. You can tell Denise genuinely cares about the animals in her care. I highly recommend her!

Denise was amazing with our Dane. She walked into a mess due to him having some tummy issues and didn’t complain at all. She was very reassuring as I was very concerned. I highly recommend Denise!

Let me know if your dog(s) are special needs (example food aggression). Before our first visit, I would need to assess your dog. At this time, I am not accepting pit bulls.
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.
