Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle, Loving Pet Care
I've been caring for animals for many years and have personally owned five beloved dogs throughout my life, including my current little companion Leo. All of my dogs lived well into their senior years, so I'm very familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and care older pets need. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with medication schedules, mobility challenges, and special feeding routines. I've also provided overnight house and pet sitting for a home with three dogs and two cats over several years, making sure every pet received individual attention and care. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and especially enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I'm patient with shy or anxious dogs and work at their pace so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel calm, loved and well cared for while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications, walks, and daily care so pets feel as relaxed and secure as possible while their families are away. I'm attentive to details such as making sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are properly fitted for walks, and the home is left just as it was found. I respect each client's home and privacy and treat it with the same care I would my own. I'm happy to schedule a meet and greet before new bookings so both pets and owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. If requested I'm glad to bring in mail or packages during visits.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!
Denise was very communicative and took great care of my dog!
I cannot say enough good things about Denise! She took such good care of our dog and was incredibly thoughtful and caring, and her communication was A+. Thanks so much!
Denise is great! Responsive and responsible! My one dog can make care difficult because he can be skittish and bark a ton but he seemed to take to Denise. I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals.
Denise was great with our two old dogs! We came home to a clean and relaxed home, and happy dogs! Thank you!
I can't say enough nice things about Denise. She was amazing with my little fur baby. And I would highly recommend. Sent me daily updates and pictures. Thank you so much, Denise! See you in August

Schedule
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and my weekends are usually open as well. I'm able to give pets plenty of attention during visits and can accommodate multiple visits per day when needed. I'm also happy to stay in local hotels with your dog while you go out and about!

- Please let me know about your pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. I'm happy to follow detailed instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and any mobility support if needed. I also appreciate knowing about your pet's behavior on leash, energy level, and how they interact with new people or other animals. This helps me ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. I do best with pets that are comfortable on leash and in their home environment, and I'm always patient with shy or anxious pets who need a little extra time to warm up.
