Pet care experience

Happy place 2 stay while u r away!

I've been taking care of animals Since elementary school and dogs since middle school. I lost my latest fur baby who was an 18 year old lab / chow mix in August 2022. Due to my traveling I'm not ready to get another pup but would like to assist others with theirs and enjoy what I loved doing with Sadie - waking. :). I am currently assisting a friend who went through a recent tragedy with watching his dog, Boh Boh, a 7 pound Maltese. He is incredibly social and LOVES other dogs and cats.

Bear always has a great time with Denise and her fur babies. She is a great communicator and I always know bear is in good hands when he’s with her. I have used her services several times and am very grateful to have her in the area.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 23, 2024

I am very grateful for the exceptional care you provided to my dog for a day! It was a fantastic experience. You sent me photos throughout the day, which reassured me a lot. You were incredibly kind and attentive to him, and it was clear he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend you to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you so much
