Love Pets, Love People.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a Heinz-57 mutt named Copper and have loved our furred friends ever since. My life situations haven't allowed me to have my own pets, so I've lived vicariously through other people's puppers. As a former combat medic in the Army Reserve, so I can handle the rare emergency. I used to work corporate security so I respect your privacy and physical security of your home. I started pet sitting by watched my canine cousins, a dachshund and golden retriever, and made it my primary occupation in September 2018. I value training and boundaries and will happily assist if that's your style with your pup, but if they're more of a "free spirit," I have the patience for that as well. Bottom line: I love pets and their people and enjoy serving them however I can.

Dennis is awesome. Went above and beyond to bath my girl and also got her some ear infection meds that worked great. Highly recommend!

Dennis was amazing with our pup and our home! Can’t say enough good things about him. The updates and pictures while we were away was a great comfort and our dog loved him.

Information Dennis P. would like to know about your pet

I want to know what your dog likes, dislikes, it's quirks and habits (oh and favorite toy). Are they related to the energizer bunny when a frisbee or tennis ball is around or do you have to pry them off the pet bed with a crowbar? Will they greet visitors with a canine opera or go and hide under the couch? If you have training goals or standards, that's great! I love all breeds, but have the additional benefit of being able to handle larger or reactive fur-friends who may leash-pull for the occasional squirrel or other distraction. I'm happy to meet other-than-canine pets, too, like cats, birds, reptiles or the family guinea pig. I'll gladly consider more exotic variants on a case-by-case basis. (I've always wanted to meet a house trained miniature horse and I've sat for a mini-pig, though technically Rover defines them as livestock so alternate arrangements may be needed..)

A typical day

I have access to resident only lake access (see photos), so if you have a water dog who's good off leash or on a long lead, they can swim (with your permission of course.) I have access to an enclosed tennis court that can double as an off-leash area great for snagging frisbees or tennis balls, which I love to throw for 'em. I have a small backyard, but enough room (and drainage) for potty breaks for senior pups who may not be up to a long walk. I'm a big fan of Washington's support of local parks and trails (Soos Creek trail is very close to the house.) and Googling/using Yelp for local off-leash dog parks (depending on the dog's limits) or, hypothetically, if your fur-friend has a regular social appt. with the local German Shepard at Reber Ranch, I'll see if we can oblige. :D
