About

Hi My Name is Denise Goodyear. Since I was a child, I’ve always Loved Cats and Dogs and they Love me back. Over the years , I’ve had lots of experience pet sitting for my Friends and Family. When my Mother was in the hospitals for a year I lived in her Condo and took care of her dog and visited her every day showing her video of our daily walks. It brought her so much joy. Walking Your Fur Baby, setting out fresh food and water, giving supplements or medicine, brushing them, playing and rubbing their belly before I leave will keep them happy until You can return. I Look Forward to Hearing From You. Thank You for Your Time And Consideration. - Denise Goodyear

Denise was really great to work with! She was attentive to our two cats, and always relayed some photos to us while we were gone so we knew the "kids" were OK.

I love how Denise interacted with my dog, Jemma. Like I told her, sometimes Jemma finds someone safe. I had that with my now ex-wife’s dog. When I first met her dog, she jumped up on my lap. My ex-wife was shocked because her dog hated guys. With Denise, when Jemma first met her, she became submissive and wanted to play. 90% of the time when she meets someone she sniffs the person’s hand and that was it. I wanted to find someone safe and I found that in Denise. Dogs are an excellent judge of people.

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.
