Whether you're traveling for work, going on vacation, or simply need a helping hand, you can trust me to treat your pets as if they were my own. My services include: 🐶 Dog Walking: Regular walks to keep your pups happy and healthy. I even love running with dogs if your dog enjoys that.

(Includes dog walking as well) 🐱 Cat Sitting: Visits for feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime. 🐾 Small Animal Care: From hamsters to rabbits to geckos, I'm here to help! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry friends. That's why I prioritize open communication, reliability, and above all, the well-being of your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday stroll, overnight companionship, or just a little extra TLC, I'm here to provide the loving care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring the safety and trust of your pet and your home are my top priorities when providing pet services. As a professional, I understand the importance of creating a secure and reliable environment for both your beloved furry family members and your personal space. First and foremost, I take great care to follow all instructions provided by pet owners regarding their home security systems, door locks, and any specific protocols for entering and exiting the premises. I respect your home as if it were my own, maintaining cleanliness and order throughout my visits. Additionally, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets by adhering to strict guidelines for their care and supervision. This includes ensuring they have access to fresh water, providing nutritious meals at designated times, administering any necessary medications with precision, and engaging in enriching activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. To further instill trust, I am happy to provide regular updates and communication while you're away, whether through text messages, photos, or video calls, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I am also fully insured and bonded through Rover which, provides an extra layer of protection for both you and your pets. By prioritizing safety, trust, and open communication, I strive to create a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your furry companions. You can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure the comfort, security, and happiness of your pets while they are in my care.

Denise is my go-to pet sitter! She is excellent at communicating and helping to meet the need of each cat. Some of our cats are on the timid end and she does a great job making sure they get treats and scratches too!

Denise did an outstanding job looking after our cats while we were away. She kept us informed with regular updates and sent us delightful pictures and videos. Our shy cat, who usually doesn't warm up to new people, took to Denise immediately. Even during days when we had no cell service, we felt reassured knowing they were well cared for. Throughout her visits, Denise attended to a wide range of tasks, ensuring our cats were fed, their litter box was clean, they received their medication, and she even took care of wiping away any eye discharge. Sometimes, she simply spent quality time giving them affection. When we decided to extend our trip, Denise was incredibly accommodating and helpful. We will definitely choose her again for future pet sitting needs!
