Reliable, Trustworthy & Super fun

Pet care experience

I’ve lived my entire life growing up with dogs and all types of other animals growing up. As an adult straight out of college I have owned 4 labs, two cairn terriers, have watched and fostered more than I can count. I’m a sucker when it comes to animals and even more so when it comes to dogs. I know what it’s like to leave your babies alone and how hard it is to trust someone to take care of them or check in on them so I treat as my clients and their babies (pets) as I would want someone to love and treat my own. I like to spend more than just 5-10 minutes with my new friends and give them all sorts of love and attention. I’m reliable, respectful, responsible and very trustworthy. I have had dogs from the ages of 8 weeks to 15 years old so giving medication is something I’m very capable and comfortable doing. I have trained all of my own animals with basic obedience but most importantly my dogs ARE my kids.

It’s clear Denise loves animals! Received videos and pictures while we were gone. Super happy and will be using her services again in the future.

Denise took such great care of our schnauzer while we were away for a few days. She arrived on time and was very friendly! She sent lots of updates on how they were doing and also offered pick/drop off which was convenient. We came home to to a very happy fur baby!

Denise is hands-down the BIGGEST animal lover! I have never seen anyone care and engage with furry friends like she does! I own a small farm and when we have traveled she has excelled at caretaking for all of our creatures, big and small, which is no easy task!

Denise is the definition of a “Dog Lover!” Her children have fur and she would do ANYTHING for them. If there is a dog around you will find Denise someone close by. Recently she has stepped up to help us out with our new puppy Meadow Moon. She is 4 months old and broke her elbow. She has a screw and pin in her elbow and that means no running, jumping, or playing for this pup. That also means a LOT of work for us. Denise has been here everyday to help with walking her, keeping her calm, taking over for me when her crying becomes unbearable, and getting her outside to go potty during the day while I’m busy with my human children. I’m an so grateful for her and her help with Meadow. She would make a great addition to the Rover family.

Information Denise S. would like to know about your pet

Do they like other dogs? Any restrictions (food, diet, treats, medications?) Kid friendly? People friendly? Good Off leash? Any other behavior issues I should be aware of to keep your baby safe as well as everyone else around us?

A typical day

I’m a huge fan of activity - all sorts of different activity to stimulate the dogs behaviors. Walking, running, the beach, games, sitting and people watching to learn that behavior and more exercise. Hikes etc.
