Caring approach, 17+ years
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a animal lover with over 18 years of experience handling a variety of dogs and cats. I'm from the Bay Area, went to college in Los Angeles, and dedicate my time to playing and caring for pets when I'm not working 9-5. I’ve cared for three of my own family dogs, and fostered several breeds. I understand the various needs your pup has from puppyhood to seniorhood. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, having watched breeds from dachshunds to golden retrievers, to various mixes. I will take great care of your furry friend as if they’re my own, and am more than happy to accommodate by any special requests or needs. Feel free to contact me with questions and requests! If you are working on training commands, I’m happy to oblige with your routine and apply practice on walks. However, please note I am not a dog trainer. I’m available mostly in El Porto and Manhattan Beach.
Reviews
It’s the second time our dog stays with Denise. Denise is very attentive, caring and friendly and takes great care of our dog Momo. Thank you Denise!
Denise is the best! We are repeat customers and our dogs love her.
Denise was a champ, reliable as a clock. Vincent adored her!
Denis is reliable and so attentive to Fisher. I love that she sends us photos of him.
About Denise R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer a meet and greet first to outline eating schedules, activity level, special requests, behavioral patterns, and ensure your pet and I have great chemistry. I’m happy to stay with your dog or cat most of the time you’re away, and like to run through of any routines you’d like them to stick with, as well as triggers, sensitivities, or preferences. I usually provide an update twice a day with pictures and/or videos.
Home
Information Denise R. would like to know about your pet
If you can provide what they like, triggers, house rules or any preferences that would help a lot. For example, if they dislike certain places or other people/dogs, and if they need medicine or healthcare, if they’re allowed on furniture, how much food to feed them, etc. I’m also happy to apply any training routine or rules you’re working on.
A typical day
I like taking dogs for walks in the neighborhood, along the Strand or Greenbelt, and other dog-friendly areas. I don’t take dogs off-leash that are not my own, but am happy to let them on a loose leash. I can feed them, refill their water, or support other special requests. If your dog is training, I’m happy to apply the commands you are working on with your trainer.
