Little dogs are angels…

If you want a cozy, warm, loving place for your little dogs, you have found the right place. I am currently taking a weight limit of 25 pounds and under. I have foster dog experience for both Sweet Paws and Salem animal Hospital. I have loved little dogs ever since I was a little girl. My experience with dogs includes owning four Chihuahuas and a mini Yorkie over 25 years. I now have one 14 year old Chihuahua who is very friendly around other dogs. I have a house in Amesbury with a fenced backyard. Your babies will also be walked 30 to 60 minutes every day while they stay with me. I take them to Woodsum farm or Lake Gardner Hiking path. I have a medical background and I’m able to give medication‘s and know signs if a dog becomes ill. Allow me to take the worry out of boarding your fur babies. They will have a wonderful time at my house.

Denise and Luca (her small dog) were great with our small dog Senshi. We felt he was comfortable with her and it was nice that she only takes small dogs. He had lovely walks to the beach and a farm. She let him sit by her in the evenings and on the bed at night. She has cameras around her home so if she has to go out she can check on him which we appreciate. She always responded to any inquiries we had in a timely manner and she provided pics and updates regularly. We will definitely use her again.

Denise was great with my dog over Easter weekend. I was very concerned about how he would do in a new sitter's home that he had never stayed at before. Denise kept me updated and I'm pretty sure he didn't even want to come home when I came to get him.

This was the first time I've had to use a dog sitter outside of my family/friend group, and I felt super comfortable leaving my small dog with Denise. She provided updates and took very good care of my baby. Would totally go with her again.

Louie stayed with Denise for the first time last week.Denise treated Louie like her own dog with lots of love and attention. She also sent us lots of pictures while we were away. We will definitely feel comfortable leaving Louie with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Stella loved her stay with Denise. Denise sent me photos and updates on Stella. I would definitely recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby while away. It’s important to know they are being well cared for, and Stella was. We will use Denise again in the future for our pet sitting needs 🐶

Denise is very sweet with Rory and he got along well with the other little guys staying for the weekend. She has a wonderful little oasis in the yard for the dogs to enjoy, nice and shady too for these hot days. Rory had a great time with Denise!

Safety, trust & environment

I own my own home in Amesbury with a fenced in backyard. The dogs have the run of the house. I allow them on the furniture and in my bed. I use heating blankets and little dog beds with heating pads so that they are always warm and comfortable. I have plenty of toys to keep them interested and stimulated.
