Denise was a great find. She responded promptly to a last-minute request. Came out and met with us. Although my cat usually does not take to strangers right away, he came out for Denise during the meet and greet. Denise was professional, accommodating, and I could tell immediately she was an animal lover. I felt my Jax was in good hands. I will definitely be using Denise's services again.

Denise was the 7th person we asked to take care of Cooper. It was during the weather changes and people were very busy during that week. Some people left us hanging then canceled because they had something come up. It was during the week to decide if we had to cancel our plans we found Denise on Rover,com. She officially accepted to stop by to feed Cooper and stay with him for 1/2 hour each day about 4 days before our trip. She was flexible and easy to work with in schedule, If she did not accepted the job we would have had to cancel our trip. So grateful she seemed to work out. She did a nice meet and greet before our trip. She took time to let Cooper get used to her. We got pictures on our phone to see his progress and text that tells you she arrived and left. I did not get every picture on my phone everyday but that is where we were located at the time. Our phones had to be on Airplane mode. Got to see the rest of the pictures when we got home. Cooper was doing well. It is funny that for the last 2 days we have been home Cooper runs to the side door nudging it with his nose as if he is expecting Denise to show up. I think he enjoyed her company while his family was away. We hope to use Denise in the future. Thanks again.

Denise has been wonderful with my senior dog- so patient, gentle, and attentive. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring hands. She’s consistently on time and goes above and beyond by sending detailed updates about each visit, which I truly appreciate. Highly recommend!

Denise was great with our dogs. She was available to cover last minute after another cancellation and was prompt for both the meet & greet and drop-ins.

Please let me know of your pets like & dislikes. If they have fears, what works best to comfort them. My personal pet does not like storms or fireworks, so I am used to giving comfort when needed.
