I'll treat your pet like my own!

Pet care experience

*FYI I am a teacher so my weekday availability will open up even more in the summer. *Dogs 50 lbs and over will be considered on a case by case basis. * On work days I come at lunch for at 30-40 minutes to let dogs out, spend time with pets. I specialize in dogs with anxiety. All of my own previous dogs, including my current dog, have had significant anxiety. I understand and have experience/techniques in dealing with pets with anxiety. I have had dogs of my own for over 28 years now, as well as many other types of pets. I have always been an animal lover, particularly dogs. My friends always call me when they have issues or questions about their dogs and I have been known to stop my car and help any animal in need! I'm a teacher and I have also rescued many animals at school. I took a break from boarding between July, 2020 and now because I had been living in a small one bedroom apartment, but I have since moved and can now accommodate pet sitting needs. I currently rent the bottom floor of a house in Collingswood, NJ. I do have a fenced in yard, although it is temporary not permanently fixed fencing (I never allow dogs out there by themselves). I walk my dog or dogs I'm watching at least a mile a day (depending on your dog's age/physical activity level. My dog is a 4 year old, sweet, mixed breed who loves other dogs! She is not territorial and shares her toys and bones willingly. Her name is Aspen and she was recently highlighted in the monthly Collingswood magazine pet section! (see pictures) She easily adapts to other dogs; if they want to play, she will play. If they are older or aren't into playing, she has no problem leaving them alone. A meet and greet is a must prior to sitting your dog. I have experience providing medication and caring for dogs with special needs. I also care for pets of any kind! I have been a cat owner as well as a rabbit owner and small rodent owner.

We left our furry boy Milo for Christmas! Denise was extremely nice, warm and welcoming! Milo is a one year old lab/pit who is very anxious and timid. We tried out other rover sitters previously and none of them have come even close to Denise as she was very patient, loving and knowledgeable with our pup. Thank you for taking such good care of him and giving us a peace of mind with all of the updates, photos and videos. We will definitely be leaving our pup with Denise again!!!

Denise was very nice to work with. She sent updated pics of our dog each day. She gave us some suggestions on how to treat our dog's anxiety.

Denise has cared for our cat and just completed a few walks with our dog, a Maltipoo, feisty, shy and often hiss from new people. She was always able to get him out but he went from hiding under the bed with the low growl to happy dog dance with wagging tail by day two! Highly recommend her!

Information Denise R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s likes and dislikes. I accommodate according to need. Although I am a teacher, I come home for at least 30 minutes midday to care for my pet and for any pets I'm caring for.

A typical day

I will walk dogs, play inside, and fulfill whatever individual needs are requested. I like to feel out the situation to make a dog feel comfortable. Again, I can also care for any other type of pet.
