Pet care experience

Please read through all of my profile before submitting a request as I have specifications that your dogs may or may not meet. I do not take bully breeds at all. This includes bulldogs, mastiff, pitbull Akita chow rottweiller. Your babies will be extremely well cared for when they stay with me. I am a certified dog trainer and have been training and boarding for 20 yrs. I work closely with rescues and animal shelters and was training director for a shelter in southern California. I require a mandatory meet and greet before accepting new dogs, so please keep this in mind when requesting a stay. I work by appointment, so am rarely gone for more than two hours at a time. However, I cannot take dogs with severe separation anxiety, excessive barking etc. All adult dogs must be spayed/ neutered. My dogs are very friendly and stable, and do well with making other dogs feel comfortable. My Border collie is a playful boy but is also respectful of older dogs who dont want to play. Your dog can sleep anywhere he likes including the bed if thats allowed. I have a pool During the day, while I am home, your dogs will have indoor/outdoor access and lots of time playing outside. We have a pool here in Florida, which your dog can swim in, if he is used to the pool. I am extremely careful with your dog, and will treat it as my own pet. I am happy to work on training your dog if you would like for additional fee, just ask. Thanks and I look forward to meeting your kids!

My 2 dogs LOVED staying at Denise's house! I have a very rowdy golden who spent the days cannonballing into her swimming pool and chasing lizards (her fave!). My lab, however is very mellow and preferred to just sit back and watch, all while getting plenty of cuddles from Denise. She gave updates and sent a few pics throughout their stay and pick-up and drop-off was smooth and easy. They will be back!!!

Denise was great with my Joey. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and would book with her again!

Denise is fabulous! You can tell instantly that she knows dogs and your fur baby will be happy and safe in her care. Keira had a great time and can't wait to play with Frankie again.

We drove in from out of town for an event and needed a safe place for our dogs other than our hotel room. The first time I spoke with Denise, I knew that our beloved doggies would be in good hands. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. Denise is confident with dogs and really seems to know what she’s doing. Her house and yard are set up for hosting dogs with safety in mind- I appreciated the double gate pick up point. Denise sent pictures while they were there to further put us at ease. We had a very positive experience!

I'm retired so home most of the day so we get to play and cuddle most of the daytime and night. It's up to them where they want to sleep.
