Kitty Karetaker&Dutiful dog watcher

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of family pets for most of my life and now have been working through Rover for almost a year. I have taken care of everyone from the smallest of teacups and kittens to the largest “Garfield’s” and hunting dogs. We currently have a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and two rescued cats of our own. That being said I have extensive knowledge of the care, attention, and training young animals need. I also have experience with senior pets and understand the patience and love they need to feel comfortable

There was an innocent miscommunication (or lack of) on the day of the boarding. After 2 hours of no replies from Denise that morning, I was forced to find another boarder, as my flight was leaving in a few hours. Denise did get in touch with me after my other arrangements were made, and we both expressed frustration and that there were no hard feelings. Denise said she understood and that Rover was not going to pay her, so the refund should be automatic. Unfortunately Rover kept $300 of my money. Since then, Denise has not returned any calls or texts. Rover is telling me that Denise must OK the refund but she is ignoring all contact. I hope this is just another miscommunication, but it has been over 2 weeks. Denise is basically keeping my $300, which adds to the amount I had to book with the replacement sitter. Rover claims to be powerless in the matter. Very frustrating. I hope Denise contacts me and allows Rover to refund my $300, in which I will update this review. In the meantime, Be aware.

Excellent, Denise was kind and accommodating to our little Zoey girl. I know that watching a dog is no convenient task to begin with, it takes a lot to get comfortable with for both parties involved. I would recommend Denise without hesitation. A++!

Denise was great. She went above and beyond with my very sensitive dog who was having some tummy issues. She kept me updated and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. I would definitely recommend using her to a friend.

denise was so patient with our cat koda. he hasnt really been socialized with other cats and was on the offensive during his meet n greet, but denise was so accommodating letting him adjust to the new environment in a separate room, and i felt reassured knowing she had so much cat experience. he felt comfortable with her during his stay and she sent plenty of updates showing he was well taken care of. would recommend, and thank you again!

Safety, trust & environment

Note: I have cats and a dog of my own. When boarding with me please ensure that your animals are spayed/neutered, protected against fleas & that they don’t have a high prey drive (chasing after squirrels and rabbits on walks). I will ask for their schedule, bowls, beads, harness/leash if they go on walks, toys, food & something that smells like you. I find that keeping the same schedule and surrounding them with familiar objects helps them acclimate and stay calm.

Information Denise P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs such as medication or behavioral issues like anxiety, food stealing, sneaking out etc before you book so I can best accommodate everyone who stays. Thank you!

A typical day

I have a fenced in backyard where our pups can play together. There are also plenty of nice patches of grass and a park nearby for walks throughout the day. If you have a senior or puppy that’s unable to go on walks I also have weewee pads in my home for them to use.
