Pet care experience

Fur baby vacation

Military family from Alaska!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Living at Nellis Air Force Base. My husband is Active Duty 🫡🇺🇸 (14 years in!) and I am a stay-at-home mom with a 11yr old, we love animals and just want them to feel safe and loved. Your pets are my pets! I can do special diets, medication, and insulin. I treat your animals like my own. All pets welcome! I do not offer bathing or transportation services at this time, however being that I live on the military base I can accommodate by meeting you outside the gate for pickup and drop off. If your little buddy gets sick/has an accident in my car l unfortunately have to charge extra for that, pics would be provided as proof. We have a spoiled, needy, rescue kitty with no claws who pretty much hides when new people or pets are around. Our backyard is large and fenced. We live on base which is safe and secure. No smoking, no drinking, both adults are over 35 years old. Our house is a jungle of plants and filled with good vibes. Senior pets welcome in our chill space. I'd say every animal that has stayed with us warmed up and enjoyed our environment.

I have used Denise twice previously and again this weekend, each time she has been wonderful, she sends pictures and updated text messages about our dog, I recommend her to care for your fur babies.

ENGLISH: I left my 8 month old puppy with Denise for 5 days, this was our first time every having boarding/puppy care and it was great. I received videos and pictures morning and night to update me on her behavior and how she was adjusting. Our dog remained in great shape before and after her experience with Denise. I appreciate how attentive she is, she truly cares and is well versed with caring for animals. 100% would recommend to anyone who needs to have their fur babies taken care of. SPANISH: Dejé a mi cachorro de 8 meses con Denise durante 5 días, esta fue la primera vez que tuvimos cuidado/guardería para cachorros y fue excelente. Recibí videos y fotos por la mañana y por la noche para mantenerme actualizado sobre su comportamiento y cómo se estaba adaptando. Nuestra perra se mantuvo en excelente estado antes y después de su experiencia con Denise. Aprecio lo atenta que es, realmente se preocupa y tiene gran conocimiento en el cuidado de animales. 100% la recomendaría a cualquiera que necesite cuidar a sus pequeños peludos.

Shrimp had an absolutely wonderful experience with Denise! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of our pup, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. What really stood out was how thoughtful she was, she not only kept us updated with messages and videos, but also gave us great local recommendations, which made our time away even better. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond like that. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! -------------------- 🇩🇪 Shrimp hatte eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung mit Denise! Von Anfang an war sie freundlich, zuverlässig und hatte offensichtlich viel Erfahrung mit Hunden. Sie hat sich liebevoll um Shrimp gekümmert, sodass wir ihn mit einem sehr guten Gefühl bei ihr lassen konnten. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, wie aufmerksam sie war, sie hat uns regelmäßig Updates und Videos geschickt und uns zusätzlich tolle Empfehlungen für die Umgebung gegeben, was unseren Aufenthalt noch schöner gemacht hat. So viel Engagement ist wirklich nicht selbstverständlich! Wir würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen und können sie von Herzen weiterempfehlen!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 06, 2026

If your dog loves to play with other dogs Denise has a great situation. Jasper made a lot of friends and was pooped out when we picked him up each day

Schedule

I'm home most of the day so spending 1 on 1 quality time with your animals is very easy to accommodate. We're very chill and relaxed around here. ***I may not be available for drop-offs and pickup outside of the scheduled time, please contact me about alternate scheduling as soon as possible.***

Safety, trust & environment

I have 4 2XL dog crates, 1 XL dog crate, 2 L dog crates, 2 M dog crates, an XL enclosed cat condo, a spare room, and lots of gates. Your animal's safety is always our motivating factor in how we set up the house. We separate anyone who doesn't mix well at the first sign of trouble, and try to keep 4 dogs or less in the house at any time. I can take 2 cats, or ferrets, in the XL cat condo.

Pets

A typical day

Typical day, I'm an early riser so potty break first and then breakfast. After that is play time with my kid, then morning nap. The afternoon is free for play until my husband comes home. Night time we curl up and tuck in around 8pm :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Denise can host up to 5 pets per night
Please tell me if your dog has anxiety, barks, or nips. I've been bitten very badly before so we take any signs of aggression seriously. Sometimes it's best to crate them for their, and my, safety if they're stressed out. We crate animals to separate them from each other as well. Excessive barking disturbs my attached neighbors, I have soft muzzles available (fabric) to curb it with your permission. If that accommodation is not acceptable you may need to make other arrangements with a different sitter, Rover Customer Support will assist you.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
