Information Denise M. would like to know about your pet

I'm good with all temperaments but because of the size of my home, prefer dogs on the smaller size (despite my love of labs). A senior large dog would be great!

A typical day

Long walks in the neighborhood. Also play time in my home. I am an avid walker so your pup will get in some steps to work off some energy.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Denise and have worked in doggie daycare and pet sitting, including fostering for many years. My full time job pays my mortgage but caring for animals brings me joy. I am professional, polite, old school and give personalized attention to your pooch. I'm available super early weekday mornings, evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday. I currently work full time near home so I can easily get home for potty breaks. Pets will never be alone for more than 4 hours. I always am sure they are leashed before the door is open. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I'm an avid walker so your pets will surely get the steps in.

Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.

Denise is absolutely incredible! She walks my little guy every weekday. I never have to worry and always know he's in good hands. She is great with communicating with me and is highly dependable. It means so much to have someone like her that I can depend on. There are so many parts of my life that are much easier because of Denise. She gives me a debrief on the walk and always lets me know if my dog is acting a little off or if she thinks we need a quick trip to the vet. Other than her pet care capabilities, she's an incredible human being and a pleasure to work with.
