What my customers are saying

I can't recommend Denise highly enough! She cared for our two pugs for 8 days during our family vacation down south and I felt so confident and at ease leaving my fur babies with her! Upon our meet and greet meeting, I could feel she genuinely loves animals and that my two pups would be loved and cared for during their stay at her place! I love that she has an area in her house, specifically designed for dogs, but she also lets them into her living quarters to cuddle and hang out with her when she is home! I am so happy we have found her and will definitely be booking with her again, next time we need care for our dogs!

A safe place where your fur babies get all the love they want and need while you are away. I knew they were safe, loved, snuggled and fed as Denise attends to each dog as they were her own. It’s the right person in the right place!

Excellent, loving care for our pups. Can’t recommend Denise highly enough!

Jason Cook


We are so blessed to have been referred to Denise for our two pugs, one of whom is a senior and requires special care. Denise's fine attention to detail and warm demeanour instantly made me feel at ease and I cannot recommend her services enough!

Denise's doggy den is truly the best place for dog boarding. I am so happy to have found her. Denise shows genuine love and individual caring for all the dogs in her care. Our dog Sophie just spent 4 nights on her first overnight boarding and I know she was loved and cared for by Denise just like one of her own. Sophie came home so relaxed and happy, I knew she was treated royally. I will definitely be booking with Denise again for future overnight boarding visits. Denise is amazing.

On Denise's first visit to our home our 17 year old cat, skittish of everyone came right up to her and allowed her to pet her. We were blown away and extremely grateful to have found her. Having Denise come in, allows our aged cats to stay comfortably in their home and gives us tremendous peace of mind! Thank you Denise!

We had the absolute privilege of being referred to Denise 3-4 years ago now, as we were looking for someone to assist look after our miniature schnauzer Gustav (aka The Dark Lord), on a regular basis. My Husband and I were travelling often for work and needed to find someone trustworthy, loving and patient (our little man is a handful) to assist look after Gustav. Gustav fell instantly in-love with Denise, her gorgeous pup Lucy and their safe, welcoming house. Denise is incredibly responsive, communicative, reliable and professional. She shows genuine love and care for Gustav...and he is simply in love with her. So much so, that when we tell him he's going to Denise's and drop him off, he runs straight into her house happily and excitedly (often without look back at us, lol). There is no one I trust more to take care of our little man. Denise, we can't thank you enough for what you do for us and Gustav!

Denise was referred to us by our previous cat sitter. We were nervous since 2 of our cats are anxious and don't do well with most strangers (they loved our previous sitter). By the second visit all the cats would come down to eat and linger around. They had no accidents/incidents while we were gone which has happened with other sitters. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we got back. Since then, we have used Denise's services several times and each time we are impressed. She's been able to help out with last minute requests and a time when I completely forgot to book her. We will continue to use Denise and are so thankful to have been referred to her. Thanks Denise!

My fur babies Minnie and Chewie LOVE Denise and I love that I can go away knowing they are being taken care of by the best! Denise has the best set up and she treats the dogs as if they were her own, I have used her for many years and always appreciate the picture and video updates she sends to me while I'm on vacation. When I drop my dogs off they are always happy to see Denise anbd when I pick them up they always look happy and well cared for. She is the best and I wouldn't leave my dogs with anybody but her!

We have a high energy, nervous and very apprehensive pooch. Petey has boarded at Denise’s doggy den twice and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Denise gives him lots of love and he enjoys the other dogs. I could not recommend her enough!

Jone Grant


We, after MANY other animal care facilities, finally found this lovely lady who truly LOVES her business because of her love for animals. We travel the world and never take a moments worry about the care and love that our little baby gets. From the moment you meet her, you will know her honesty and dedication to your pet ,and to you as a client. Trust me this lady is the real deal! The treatment your pet gets is priceless. She treats and loves and protects your fur baby the same way you would. She is GOLD!!!!!!

Bryan Dann


We would not take our two mixed terriers anywhere else! As rescues they have bonded well with us and parting with us is an anxious moment for both humans and canines. Denise makes them feel at home and while we are away sends us regular updates. Most of the time they have a better vacay than us!

We have used Denise for both dog-sitting and dog-walking. She is a pleasure to deal with and I can always rest-easy knowing my pups are in great hands. We have complete trust in her and she practically feels like a member of the family now.

Jessica Weber


Denise is awesome. She always sends pictures of Roxy when we are away. I find this comforting cause you can see she’s perfectly happy and content. I would highly recommend Denise, we love her and so does Roxy👍🐶

Yvonne Robinson


Denise is reliable and takes care of my dogs like they're her own. Reasonable rates to walk, feed and love on them when I can't get home during the workday. I can trust her to respect my belongings and she never leaves my home unlocked. My dogs are a handful and she deals with their high energy behaviour very well.

Jennifer Bonderoff


I can always feel confident when I have to leave my dog at the doggy den. Denise is just wonderful. She cares for our elderly dog as if she were her own. Blue is always happy and well cared for there. Her home is completely set up to keep dogs happy and comfortable. Thank you Denise for all that you do! I hope you know how appreciated you are!

Megan


We won’t trust our little dog to anyone but Denise. He’s very picky about his accommodations and Denise’s place is entirely to his - and our - liking. She’s kind and professional and we are so lucky to have found her!

Bibi Bayliss


Denise treats my dog like it is her own. She has boarded with her many times. Cannot say enough about her and her business. The best in Westshore.

Tucker Mika


Denise is wonderful with our little chiweenie! She is professional, flexible, and communicates well. Her rates are competitive and her service is above and beyond. Our little guy adores Denise and the doggy den! Thank you for being our trusted go-to person for our super-spoilt pup, Denise!

Dave and Kelsey Oh


Every time we travel and can't take our dog with us, I have such peace of mind knowing she is in such good hands at Denise's Doggy Den. Thank you Denise for all you do!
