Pet care experience

Lifetime Love of Animals🐶🐶😻😻

Just moved to Gardnerville from Northern California and ready to take care of your babies 🩷. Animals have always been apart of my life. I feel a close connection to them. When I was growing up, I fed my neighbors and friends pets, and had many of my own. Since the loss of my older, beloved dog, I find myself with a full heart of love for other pets. I can also get your mail and water plants. Because I am a writer, I am currently available to take care of your pets seven days a week, and at any time of the day. I am also available to stay in your home. I am quite capable of safely caring for your pet(s), and can maintain your feeding, walking and/or medication schedule. I have experience giving pets medication, and handling senior and anxious pets. I love to snuggle and sleep with pets.

Safety, trust & environment

When I take care of pets in your home, I attend to them first thing in the morning and the last thing I do before I go to sleep. I don't mind if they wake me early in the morning or late at night to eat or go outside.

Denise was awesome! Punctual and took great care of our mutt. She provided daily updates letting us know that our girl was happy and healthy. Highly recommended!

Denise was great again! Each time I book her she takes great care of my animals, sends updates and pictures, and always communicates. I will be sure to book her again next time I'm out of town!

Denise is absolutely the best!! She took great care of my animals and went out of her way to make them feel comfortable and happy while I was out of town! She will absolutely be my go-to anytime I need pet care! She took great pictures of them and communicated with me consistently about how they were doing while I was gone. I could not recommend Denise enough!

Denise did such a great job with my puppy Jolene, especially considering Jolene can be rather skittish at first. I’ll absolutely be rebooking!

Denise did an excellent job taking care of my 2 cats. One is elderly and needs medicine and she made sure he got his medicine every day. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Denise was amazing! She sent us pictures and kept us updated when our house was without power for almost 24 hours. We are so grateful she was able to check in on our pets for us while we were gone! Thank you, Denise!

I need to know if they have any special dietary, medical or behavioral needs. I also need to know if they are on any medications. Most importantly, I need to know their schedule so that I may make your time away as safe and comfortable as possible.
