Compassionate Dog Care Specialist
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Denise and thrilled to offer my expertise and care to your furry companions. For 13 wonderful years, I had the privilege of being Halia's dog mom; she was my beloved fur baby. Three years ago, my journey as a dog care specialist began when Bruno, a Great Pyrenees Anatolian Shepherd mix came into my life who now weights an impressive 140lbs. As Bruno's personal care taker I took on multiple roles and responsibilities over the years. I nurtured him from a playful puppy, provided him with the care, guidance, and training necessary for his well-being, and when he found himself in a challenging situation, I stepped in to rescue him. Despite the uncertainties and challenges, I made it my mission to ensure his safety and well-being. After rescuing Bruno, I worked tirelessly to find him a temporary foster home and then a loving forever home. Through months of interviewing and screening potential families, I ensured that Bruno would find the perfect match where he could thrive and be cherished. Bruno's journey has deeply impacted me and shaped my passion for animal welfare. Now, having completed Bruno's journey to a new beginning, I'm honored to extend the same level of care and dedication I provided to him to other animals in need. Your furry friend's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. You can trust that they'll receive the same level of care and attention that I provided to Halia and Bruno. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend and provide them with a tailored, stress-free experience! Feel free to reach out so we can discuss your pets needs and schedule a meet and greet. 📞
Reviews
Denise is literally an angel. Incredibly talented with dogs, has training experience, kind, compassionate and very thoughtful. We recently moved, our dog was in a new environment and she was patient with her anxiety. We would give her 10 stars if we could!
Denise has been cat sitting my 2 cats for years. She is very attentive, caring, loving, follows all feeding and care instructions and keeps my home impeccably clean. I am a stickler for cleanliness and routines and she follows them to a t. Denise is my go to car sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitter as she loves and cares for your pets as her own.
Denise is the most caring, loving pet sitter I have used. She cared for our 3 dogs, 2 goats, and 15 chickens for over a week. She is very responsible and a good communicator. I highly recommend her!!

Information Denise P. would like to know about your pet
Before bookings, it's essential for me to gather key information about the pets to ensure I can provide the best possible care while dog sitting. Here's what I consider important to know: 1. Medical History: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications the pet may have. This allows me to address any health concerns and administer medications properly if needed. 2. Behavioral Traits: Understanding the pet's temperament, personality, and any behavioral quirks helps me tailor my care approach to meet their individual needs. It also helps me anticipate any potential challenges and provide appropriate handling and training. 3. Routine and Preferences: Knowing the pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any specific likes or dislikes, helps maintain continuity and minimize stress during their owner's absence. 4. Emergency Contacts: Having contact information for the pet's veterinarian, as well as emergency contacts for the owner, ensures I can quickly access assistance if needed and provides peace of mind for both the owner and myself. 5. House Rules and Instructions: Any specific instructions or house rules regarding pet care, home security, and household chores help me ensure I respect the owner's preferences and maintain a safe and orderly environment during my stay. By gathering this information ahead of time, I can effectively plan and prepare for the pet's care while in your home, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for both the pet and the owner.
A typical day
We'll kick things off with a refreshing morning walk in the park or on a nature trail to get those tail wags going. Once we're back home, it's playtime! We'll engage in some interactive games like fetch or tug-of-war to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. Next up, I'll set up some fun enrichment activities to challenge their minds. Think puzzle toys filled with treats or a snuffle mat for some scent work. After all that excitement, it's time for a cozy midday nap to recharge their batteries. In the afternoon, we'll head out for another adventure. Maybe we'll explore a nearby beach for some sand and surf or take a leisurely stroll through a pet-friendly shopping district. Whatever we choose, it'll be a blast! To wrap up the day, I'll treat your furry friend to a special homemade treat or a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter as a tasty reward for being such a good pup. Throughout the day, your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, and positive reinforcement to ensure they have a fun and fulfilling experience tailored just for them!
