Ready to give TLC to dogs & cats :)

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm excited to meet your special family member! My husband frequently helps me with petsitting, and most of the pets are fond of him and are naturally drawn to him. We assure you that he/she will be in good, loving hands :) Experience: I started catsitting and dogsitting regularly for my family's and friends' cats and dogs since 2018. When dogsitting, I make sure I walk them at least twice a day, play with them, clean up after them, and tend to their other needs. When catsitting, I make sure to play with them lots, give them the proper amount of food, scoop their litter box daily, and let them nap peacefully. 2007 to 2011: I had a dog, Flaaffy, back in the Philippines and I cared for her like my own child. I fed her, bathed her twice monthly (it's hot back there), took her to the vet regularly, walked her, cuddled with her, played with her, and tried to teach her a trick or two. She has departed to doggie heaven since 2017 and I miss her everyday. She was mid to large sized and she was very strong but I learned how to handle her strength and her size. Despite my height (I am 5') I love big dogs and I'm open to taking care of them given if they are obedient and not too energetic. If your big dog doesn't tug/pull during walks and obeys commands, then consider me a sitter for them. :) 2021: My family and I adopted our cat Wilbur and he has been the most irresistible new addition to our family since then. :) I work in the office 2-3 times a week, but some days that I might be home and might be able to take in your pet are on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays. Pet boarding = daytime care + overnight stay (24 hours) House sitting = daytime care + overnight stay (24 hours) Daycare = Up to 8 hours (from 8am - 9pm) House Visit = Up to 2 hours (from 8am - 8pm) Dogwalking = 1 hour (from 8am - 8pm) I am close to Moody Park and its enclosed off-leash dog park (I believe most dogs enjoy), it is an easy 2-min. walk from my place. I can bring your dog to that off-leash park upon your approval. Or we can just walk around the big park.

Very communicative and I love it that she would send me pictures of my dog. I feel very relaxed knowing Denise is taking a good care of my dog. I will book Denise again in near future!

Denise was truly great! First time using this platform and was not disappointed. She truly cared about making sur my cat was happy and went above and beyond the mandate, even bringing her own toys and visiting my cat twice a day. 5+ star cat sitter

Information Denise R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how obedient your dog/cat is when receiving commands from strangers and if they can stay put at a different house.

A typical day

I will take the dogs for walks 3 times a day and let them explore the neighborhood with me. I am careful when I'm walking a smaller dog and always take precautions when a bigger dog is closeby. I will also play with them and give them the proper care and attention that they need. I'm fully aware that each dog/cat has its own personality and will have different wants and needs.
