Experienced Sitter to Love Your Pet

Pet care experience

My name is Denise, I love animals and currently have a schedule the allows for short and long term housesitting. I have 20+ years experience petsitting and owning my own animals. My own dogs passed away at 14 after a long and happy life, during their precious moments on earth, I could never put them in a kennel when I traveled so I always had to find someone to come take care of them, provide walks and stay overnight. This is not an easy task, especially in areas further out from town, so I understand your dilemma. I'm a website developer and work from home primarily so telecommuting is easy as long as you have wifi. I can service some of the more remote areas for overnights. I currently am the Vice President at Full Moon Farm Wolfdog Sanctuary, where I have been a volunteer for 6 years. So tons of experience with all types of animals. Of course I love cats too. Charges vary depending on distance, primarily serving Black Mountain, Swannanoa & Asheville. Happy to travel further, just ask. Weekly rate available.

I have used Denise several times over the past couple of years to dog sit (and cat sit) for my 14 year old, 25 lb. mixed breed, Sparky and my cat, Patchouli. Sparky can be a challenge because he has to take meds for Epilepsy and is somewhat lame on his arthritic back leg for a torn ACL. Taking meds means there is a schedule to maintain and a process to follow. As an older dog, he is also a little blind and hard of hearing. He does come when he is called, but sometimes doesn't hear as well. That being said, I know that I can leave my furry kids in competent and loving care when I use Denise. She treats them like family, which they are to me. She pays attention to their needs, takes care of them, and I can completely relax when I am on vacation because I know she loves on them when I am gone. I highly recommend Denise as a dog sitter without any hesitation.

Denise has taken care of my pets several times while I was out of town. She is very conscientious and is obviously an animal lover. She payed close attention to all instructions, and handled everything flawlessly and cheerfully while I was away. She was careful with securing the house as well and reported any concerns promptly. It makes such a difference having a true animal lover like Denise vs someone who is just going through the motions. My "kids" love her because she spends time with them, and really pays attention and connects so well. I highly recommend Denise!
