Pet care experience

Barton Hills PET AUNTIE-Fenced Yard

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 was amazing from start to finish. She took great care of our pup and was very responsive. We would definitely work with her again.

Denise was excellent! She took Waffles in last minute when I was in a pinch and sent me several photo updates. I was afraid Waffles wouldn’t want to come home! Highly recommend Denise!

Everything was great! Denise was very communicative and our dog came home happy and worn out.

Schedule

I work from home and have plenty of time to cater to your pets. I walk poochies twice per day and let them play in my big, fenced in backyard. My schedule is very flexible. And I'm located with easy access to Hwy 71, 360 and Mopac for easy drop-offs.

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.

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Denise can host up to 7 pets per night
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.
