“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“Michelle is an amazing host who clearly loves dogs and cats! She is thoughtful, an excellent communicator, and a true animal lover. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and we look forward to having our beloved Polly stay with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Our 2 year old Aussie, Sadie, LOVED her stay with Desirae and her family. Desirae was so welcoming and sweet to Sadie and sent tons of pictures and consistent daily updates of Sadie’s stay. Desirae even brought her home with a picture collage/report of her stay! We highly recommend Desirae for your pet sitter needs.”
“Jason and Kristen and their kids were awesome. They sent lots of pictures and made sure to let us know how our dog was doing. When they sent pictures you could tell he was comfortable and happy. He also loved playing with the kids.”
“Absolutely amazing, he took great care of the dogs and updated us regularly. Any questions were easily answered and any problems we were immediately notified. Would definitely recommend him as a sitter.”
“Thank you, Victoria and Rishi, for taking care of Izzy. This was the first time we used Rover.com and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Your updates and videos were fabulous and put our minds at ease…THANK YOU!”
“Cari was awesome! I was so worried about my anxious, Velcro dog. But Cari took such good care of him, and so appreciated the updates and pictures. When I picked him up I was overjoyed to see me and wanted to go. But he was shaking and over stressed like he’s been other times. When I come back to my daughters, if we want to go away again for a few days, I will definitely call Cari too take care of him!”
“This is my pups first time staying with Averi. She sent daily updates along with photos so I could relax knowing my dog was in good hands. I will definitely have my pup stay with her again! Thank you!”
“Samantha was great. Needed a last minute boarder and she was flexible and available! She sent many pictures/videos. Sparty loved hanging out with her and her pets!”
“Chris took great care of my dog, Freya, for a weekend. He was attentive to her needs and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ellen was absolutely fantastic taking care of my 7 month old puppy. JJ was staying with her for an extended amount of time and she still kept me updated with pictures and comments on a daily basis. Even as JJ is still in training, Ellen was extremely patient and still made things very easy for me when I was gone. There was also almost always one or more dogs there at any given time to keep JJ company. Her fenced in backyard is an added bonus as all dogs staying with her have free range to explore and run around. I will 100% be booking again in the near future! Nothing but praise for Ellen!”
“Anastasia did a great job with Daisy and sent pictures every day. Her dog River was very friendly to Daisy and they played a lot together. I will definitely use Anastasias care again should we need dog sitting in the future.”
About: Denim Sheperd Dog Care is looking to provide you with excellent dog services at an affordable price. With a huge backyard for running and indoor dog spaces for play, your dog is guaranteed to have a great time! We are a house of dog lovers plus 3 pups of our own, with 2 cousin pups staying with us! Our pack leader Austin has been an amateur mush dog trainer for two years with plans to compete in 2026. He is great with dogs of all sizes and has a heart for all breeds. What got him into dog training for others was E-collar training 2 of our dogs himself after having our husky trained professionally. This gave us the freedom to adventure with our pups the way we longed to. We have been doing basic grooming for our labradoodle for 3 years, nail trimming all of our dogs' nails for 5 years, and bathing them for nearly 7 so your dogs will be in loving hands if they are in need of some pampering! I'm currently a full-time at home parent and dog dad. My schedule is flexible with advance notice, but for our daily schedule I do biking with my husky, playtime in the back yard, and the pups nap or have hangout time in the dog den! I have a garage for grooming and introductions, then two gates used to separate the dog areas from the rest of the house. Within the dog area is a finished basement and den if dogs need to be separated. At this time, I have 2 crates of different sizes for use if needed or desired. The backyard is fully fenced and great for runners to get out excess energy.
