Denise is an excellent pup caregiver! She is knowledgeable about dog care and did execptionally well with our puppymill rescue Maggie who is usually very timid and shy. Maggie took to Denise right away and was kissing her hand and going to her for pets and ear rubs during our meet and greet. Maggie's tale was wagging in the update photos sent and she ate and took her meds without any issues. I highly recommend Denise and will definitely use her again!

Our young dachshund absolutely LOVED Denise when he got to meet her. So glad she’s able to be our go-to care taker! We are very appreciative!

Denise is amazing. She has 2 little dog and my little guy thought he was at fun doggie camp. She has a fantastic back yard with ramps for the little ones to run and play. Highly recommend!!
