Pet care experience
I've loved dogs my entire life and in 2016 was fortunate to finally have one of my own. While on my travels in China, I came across a tiny stray puppy with no family in sight and couldn’t bear the thought of leaving him without helping him. So I stuck him in my coat pocket and started to look up ways to get him to a home. After finding a vet in Beijing to help assist me in taking him home, Bing and I have been best buds in Colorado ever since. Dogs are simply a big part of my heart and I love to take care of them. I’ve volunteered at several animal organizations in the past. While living in New Jersey, I used to volunteer at the local shelter and spearheaded a volunteer program to take shelter dogs on hikes or to local parks. It was a great experience for the both of us. Currently, I volunteer at a rabbit shelter in addition to dog sitting, and just love providing care for animals! I currently work from home, which means I have a very open schedule that will allow me to spend plenty of time with the pups that I’m sitting. I take plenty of breaks during the day to get out and stretch my legs, so your pup will be in good company if they need to burn some energy during the day. Bing is very friendly and loves having new friends around, so your pup will always have someone to play with whether that be me or Bing! I also have a cat named Luna but she is much more on the quieter side. Our home is quiet and calm and both of my pets get along with other animals very well.
Reviews
Denise has been great watching our pup for the day. She's clearly a dog lover, is accommodating with requests and sends photos. We've already rebooked and will continue to do so.
Denise is great. Takes good care of my pup Ginger who is very wary of strangers but was clearly comfortable after her first walk. I would recommend Denise
I was initially nervous to leave my pup with someone while on vacation, but Denise eased my nerves and sent the cutest pictures of her pups with mine. She was wonderful and I’m so glad to have found her! Thank you SO much, Denise! I’m so grateful!
Denise was such a breath of fresh air! I’ve had such horrible sitters in the past and she totally understood my concerns, really respected my house, and thoroughly read my instructions/took care of my animals. Everything was clean and all animals were safe & happy. Thank you so much, Denise!

Information Denise M. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
My hobbies, like so many Coloradoans, involve the outdoors. I am an avid hiker and mountain biker and enjoy all of the social activities in the area. My dog and I hit a new trail almost every weekend and would be thrilled to take another dog with us. I'm home during the days, as I work from there, but I take plenty of breaks. Your pup and I would enjoy plenty of walks in the neighborhood if his owner is okay with that. And if they love fetch, I love to toss! There are plenty of parks nearby that are great for exploring, and we’ll have a great time getting to know some of the new sights there and perhaps meeting some new friends as well.
