Pet care experience

We are like no other it's just not a Staycation but a Pupcation!! We throw parties and do brain exercises and stimulation socialization.As well as knowing how to train in dog life skills, I don't let pups out of my sight I have camera's. I have trackers to put on them. I believe every animal just isn't an animal they all are family and best friends. I do have a service dog to help with anxiety disorder, those with disabilities and those who are elderly. Skye and I love helping and meeting others. She's been trained professionally she has taught other dogs to use the bathroom outside and to give lots of hugs and kisses as well.However, Skye was put to rest on April 15th, 2020, due to Cancer. But ee We enjoyed walking and playing and cuddling beach and just love everyone as family. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and Skye. An now Azure and I are looking forward to you being a part of are little pup camp. The app has been acting up, and I try to respond quickly within 5 to 10 minutes. I also know how to deliver puppies.I also have a ramp for dogs with hip dyslasia or just disabilities in general. I also throw pup parties and plan them to the individuals pup and parents' needs. Please let me know if you're loved one has any triggers like the tv with certain commercials,door bells and if they allergies.

Denise is absolutely amazing. From the very first moment, she treated Oro with so much love, care, and attention that we felt completely at ease. She stayed with Oro both Saturday and Sunday and went far beyond anything we could have expected. She created a beautiful painting activity for Oro, gave us a heartfelt thank-you card, included a candle, and even sent us a photo of Oro from each day. Throughout the entire time, she kept us constantly updated with photos and videos, which gave us incredible peace of mind. Denise was also incredibly thoughtful about Oro’s well-being — she even put a little shirt on her to protect her from the sun and possible allergies while she was outside. That level of care and awareness truly shows how much she loves what she does. She didn’t just watch our dog; she gave Oro a special, loving experience and gave us total peace of mind. We are beyond grateful and feel so lucky to have found her. We would trust her with Oro again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care.

We came from out of town for a wedding and our puppy Bailey wasn't doing so well in the hotel on her own so we were in desperate need for someone to watch her, Denise was super quick and was able to take her on a real short notice and kept us updated all day/night with so many photos. Bailey was well taken care of and came to us tired from running around with Azure. Couldn't thank her enough.
