Qualified & experienced pet sitter

Pet care experience

My absolute passion, right from childhood, has been looking after animals! Even as a young child I would look after neighbors cats and rabbits while they went on vacation. In adulthood I studied in the UK for my Animal Nursing Level 2 and gained my certification in 2016. On emigrating to the USA I carried on my studies qualifying as a Veterinary Nursing Assistant in 2019 graduating with Honors. I had 3 years experience working in a Veterinary hospital before going part-time dog walking and pet sitting with a local, privately run business. I am used to handling and caring for all sorts of pets:- dogs, cats, including pocket pets, guinea pigs, hamsters etc. I use positive voice and encouragement with all my pets and never punish. I am competent in giving medication to pets if left detailed, specific instructions. Need someone just to pop in once or twice a day to check on the house while you are away and bring in the mail? I can do that too! It's all part of the excellent customer service that I try to bring to you. I also offer, where appropriate and convenient, a 'meet and greet' service at no extra cost to you, so you and your fur baby(ies) and I, we can all get to know and meet each other. I can't wait to receive your request!

I have had the privilege of working as a vet tech with Denise. She is one of the most passionate, loving and hardworking person I know. Denise will do everything she can to meet your needs. She has snuggled, played and treated my pets and others with so much love and affection as if they were her own. She takes awesome photos of furbabies too! If you have any special instructions just let her know and she will follow every bit of it.

Denise is a certified vet tech assistant and is a very caring person. She provides the best care for every single animal which she encounters, treating them with patience, kindness and compassion. Since she is a vet tech assistant, she can care for animals who require extra attention with things such as subcutaneous fluids and medications. She really is someone who can be relied upon to provide 5 star care for anybody's pet(s).

A typical day

On hot, humid days I try to stick to more shaded areas to keep the dogs cool. I take a bottle of iced water and travel bowl so my dogs can always have a drink. We have 'sniffy' walks and I like to try and exercise their brains as well as their legs. We always make walkies time fun time!
