Safety, trust & environment

I have one small pooch, Daisy, who is a 13 lb Malti-poo. Very calm and loves new dog friends to play with! Happy to follow your feeding and walking directions. My neighborhood is great for walking doggies and I have a dog stroller if needed for pups challenged with walking but still wants to "go for a spin" outside of the house.

Information Denise M. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure you poochie is bathed and is house trained so I can keep my house tidy, clean and smelling good for all the fur baby guests. I'm happy to follow you diet instructions and give medications.

A typical day

I am an early bird and walk the poochies in the morning before it is too hot. We have breakfast and then relax until mid-morning play time outside in my big fenced in yard. We go on an evening walk once the day cools off, have supper and all find a cozy spot for TV to close out the day. Just before we turn out the lights, we have a "final pee" so everyone sleeps sound and tight.

Pet care experience

Having pets all my life, I now offer the joy of hosting your fur babies in my South Austin home with big, fenced in backyard with tall shade trees. Great streets for walking. Only host a few pets at a time (prefer 30 lb or less). My little maltipoo, Daisy, loves doggie friends to visit and play! I'm home most of time & will give lots of love and attention to your fur babies. I send fun, candid photos & give daily updates. Free Meet and Greets are welcome If allowed, I offer homemade, all natural treats too! I also do Drop Ins at your place for unique pets like a tortoise and raccoons...! I grew up on farms and the bayou and love all animals!

Denise took great care of our pup! Send pics! Returned toys and treats and was so easy to schedule with. Responded quickly which was awesome!

Denise was responsive and very helpful when I had a series of unfortunate last minute flight changes. She provided so many photos and updates, I felt very confident my dog was being well taken care of!

Denise was the best petsitter my dog and I have experienced! She is super communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout my dog’s stay. I felt 100% confident that my dog was safe, comfortable, and having fun. When I picked him up, I could tell he’d had a blast and was even a little reluctant to get in my car to leave! I will definitely be rebooking with Denise in the future.

Always stress free when I leave my pup with Denise! She’s super friendly and shares daily photos of my dog while I’m away so I know he’s happy. Highly recommend :)
