Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner my entire life and pet sitter for over a decade, I’m very aware of everything to check and double check for pet safety. Such as keeping doors closed, being careful while entering a home, keeping any food etc. that is unapproved or would make them sick out of reach, making sure they can easily access their food and water, etc. Happy to also follow any specific safety rules that may be unique to your pet and home. :)

Information Denise K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog gets along with other people, dogs and children. This is needed so I can be mindful during our walks for safety. For very active dogs that require more handling, my preferred weight limit is 40 lbs. This is a safety precaution due to knowing my own strength. :) Thank you!

A typical day

Love to give the pets I care for some playtime and petting each visit. It brings me as much joy as it brings them. If they have toys or treats available, I’m happy to use those items as instructed.

Loving & Attentive Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I love all animals and would be delighted to tend to your pets needs when you need an extra hand. I grew up with both cats and dogs of varying personalities and sizes and I’ve been pet sitting as a side gig for over 10 years. I sincerely care about the health, safety and happiness of all living creatures. :) Excited to meet and take care of your furry friend!

Denise took excellent care of our three cats for roughly a week. She kindly accepted a last minute schedule change on our part and took care of all our animals with attention and affection - everyone was healthy and happy upon our return.

Denise was great! Even though are pet isn’t always the friendliest, Denise always made sure to handle him with care. She was great at giving us updates on his mood, how much he was eating, and sent several silly pictures of him. Her communication was amazing, and I felt very safe having her watch over my fur baby. I would def recommend her to anyone looking for pet services, and will book with her again in the future.
