As a last ditch effort, before meds, I thought variety might be helpful...so I googled looking for a dog walker and found Trixie Pet Care. Best thing I could have done. Trixie Pet Care/Denise's time with my girl stopped the licking and 2am wake ups. At this point i think i need Denise more than my dog. Denise is AH-mazing!! My dog loses her mind when Denise shows up. Yes, I am smacked in the face with my girl's excitement to see Denise, because there are times we cross paths when i work from home. IMy girl loves her "walkies" with Denise. Loves! Is there any better endorsement than your dog pouting or cold shouldering you when you walk through the door because you are not who they expect? I may be my dog's "alpha" but Denise is my girl's favorite buddy

Asking friends to come twice a day is a burden, and I've had other pet sitters in the past that I'd need to check in with to hope they showed up that day. Fortunately, I found Denise at Trixie Pet Care and spent a few stress-free days out of town AND came back to happy cats! The first thing I was surprised by was Denise's instant rapport with the cats. They can be standoffish, like most cats, but when she entered my home, they ran up to her! She was completely comfortable with my giant Maine Coon children and they were not afraid of her at all. While we were out, I deeply appreciated the texts every time she was there, photos of what they were doing, and updates on their state of mind (spoilers: they were either playing or sleeping). The way they were acting in the photos let me know they were not stressed and hiding, but rather out and about, eating, and living their best cat lives while I was on vacation. Words cannot express how valuable Denise's services were and we will only use her as our pet sitter from now on!

We have booked overnight care in our home and daily visits many times and always return to happy pups who have played lots and have been given loads of attention in our absence. Whether it is navigating a walk with two big dogs and sunbathing neighborhood cats, finding a lost ball, or getting our older dog to eat his meds, Arielle has been up for every challenge or special request while dog sitting for us. We get text and photo updates too, which is so nice when I'm missing my furry family members. Scheduling and paying for services is also a breeze.

They've been going for months and come home tired, which leads to better behaved dogs at home! Their packages are a great deal and, as soon as I'm back from my next trip, I plan to buy another full-time package to send them once a week. My youngest dog is very nervous around people, so I know that he wouldn't be friendly at all if he didn't have a good time there and he always goes right up to the people at the front when we come in. I have no hesitation about bringing my boys here. I also know that they actually do vet checks for vaccines because my vet missed one of my older dog's vaccines that he had from before and Pawz called me about it. We got it all sorted out and he was able to attend!
