Home Full-Time Dog Whisperer

Pet care experience

When I was living overseas in Greece for 6 years, I spent a lot of time rescuing and taking care of stray dogs that lived in the street some were friendly, other's were traumatized or slow or warm up to other dogs. I have always had a natural gift with animals, but dogs are my specialty. I know all the tips and tricks of even teaching older, more stubborn dogs how to warm up to other people, and generally behave better whether it's house training, or with other dogs. I am the proud owner of a rescue dog, Ragnar, a British Fox Hound/Lab/Hare Hound Mix - who is now my service dog, best friend, and companion. My dream has always been to start my own dog day care center, or shelter for dogs. Dogs are my life <3

Dennis is awesome! He watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and we had absolutely no worries. He (and his dog, Ragnar) were very professional and accommodating. He was easy to contact and he sent us pics of the dogs ‘adventures’ while we were away.

Dennis is trustworthy, and very gentle and kind-hearted with dogs and he develops a natural, easy rapport with them. You can know that you beloved pet is in very good hands and will be well taken care of with Dennis watching them. He's the best, most reliable dog sitter ever!

Dennis is most well known by friends for his compassion for others, especially his loving relationship with own dog Ragnar. Dennis has cared for my own dog countless times, and my rescue dog absolutely adores him. Dennis is focused, reliable, caring, and able & willing do go above and beyond for every dog he meets. Sometimes my own dog likes spending time with Dennis and Ragnar more than he likes being home with me.

Information Dennis W. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but need to know more or less the owners preferences about off-leash time and where they would feel comfortable allowing for that if the situation permitted it. I fully respect the dog owners wishes and will follow it to the letter.

A typical day

Only a 20 minute walk from my house is the Stoney Brook Reservation with long hiking trails. I love to go hiking there with my dog Ragnar all the time. I love to go hiking, take casual walks either in nearby public parks, or just casual walks around the city.
