About
Hi, my name is Denise Goodyear. I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. When my mother was in the hospital for a year , I lived in her home so I could care for her dog and visit her daily, sharing videos of our walks. Seeing how much comfort that brought her reminds me how important our pets are to us. Whether you need pet sitting, house sitting, or dog walking, I’ll treat your fur baby like my own—fresh food and water, medications or supplements as needed, brushing, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs before I leave. I’m a one-person business, so your pet always gets my full attention. I look forward to hearing from you.

Denise has walked our dog for many months now. We're so pleased to have found her. Our pet is older and requires some gentle handling, and Denise is all over it. When she says she'll be there, she's there, no questions. She's mastered our electronic locks and alarms. She takes pictures of the walks and reports back everything that "happened." If you want your pet taken care of, Denise is an exceptional choice.

Details: Mail collection • Home security

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.
