Denise was fantastic! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. When we got home, it was obvious that Chevy had been well loved and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Denise again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Denise was amazing! She stayed with my dog the entire time and made her the main priority. She sent a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day! My dog has a lot of anxiety and Denise clearly made her feel so comfortable and happy. I will absolutely book again!

Denise went above and beyond for us! We had a family emergency and she was able to change our booking to arrive a day early to help us. Both the dog and the house were in great shape when we returned!

Denise was a life saver. My long-time sitter got very sick and was unable to take care of my two girls. Denise was a great sitter. Despite the short notice, we were able to coordinate a "meet and greet" that went very well. She was flexible and easy to work with. She took such good care of them that I don't think they even noticed I was gone. Since my past sitter will not be returning, I will definitely call on Denise next time I need to travel.

Safety, trust & environment

Close monitoring and calm approach to any situation or environment are essential when it comes to the care of animals in my possession. Patience and building a bond is also very important and key to building a long lasting relationship with my animals.

Pets

A typical day

If I'm not working at my kennel technician position, I'm either interacting with my four cats or senior dog. Usually I wake up at six in the morning and take my dog out to potty and sniff his daily route. Than I'll come inside feed all my animals, than finally clean the cat box which includes sweeping/vacuuming and mopping. After I'll pull up a bird watching video for the cats while I take my dog for his first hour and a half long walk. Depending on the weather sometimes my dog and I will go down to the local park and walk the trails while I sip a coffee and we enjoying the good weather. Once home I'll fill my dogs water bowl with ice water and give my cats there mid day treat. If it's not good weather potty breaks will be done with in house puzzles for enrichment. By now it would be later in the day and my partner will take my dog out for another hour and a half walk while I engage in laser pointer play or catnip infused toys with my cats. Once home I'll feed my dog and cats again and get my dog ready for bed which includes a ice cream treat in his bed with his favorite toy and blanket
