About My Business

Becoming a Pet Sitter in 2000, just all fell into place naturally; like Serendipity! I did not even realize there was such a "job" as a Professional Pet Sitter.

My company was moving out of state and I did not want to move. I knew I wanted to do something new and with animals. I was a Technical Coordinated for a laminated glass company and ironically, I helped design glad for animal enclosures. I have always loved and had lots of animals my entire life: dogs,cats,rabbits,mice,hamsters,gerbils, guinepig,frogs,turtles,ducks, various birds and even a baby alligator once. I even ran away with my dog Dutches, at the age of five, we played in the field for half a day. Ha ha.

After waking up one morning with the thought of walking dogs, I started to look through the phone book for ideas; there it was: Pet Sitters! I called for advise from one of the Sitters listed and she explained how to get started with the help of Patti Moran's book on pet sitting. I even had my first job long before the company was ready to move. I LOVE my "job" and am so thankful I get to care for animals and help people enjoy life without worry while they are away.

What my clients say:

"We all love our dogs. When we're away, we want our dog to be home and treated the same way we treat him.nThat's Wags & Kisses, a pet walking service that lets us vacation while our best friend is comfortable at home. nWe've used Wags & Kisses for more than 7 years. Both Denise and Dave have cared for our dog, Bogey, at least twice per year- 7 to 10 days at a time. nThe added security of having them walk our dog and be in our home 3 times a day has made our trips more relaxing and fun.nWe also receive regular texts and notes as to how our dog is doing. nWe highly recommend Wags & Kisses!"

—Betty & Jim Glowenke

"Denise and Dave Have been taking care of our cockteil Rosie for almost 5 years and counting. What's so great about having them come is that they make sure to spend quality time to make her feel safe and well cared for. Denise will send pictures of their exploits while we're away and will always respond promptly to inquiries on how's things. We and Rosie are so lucky to have such caring people and highly recommend Wags and Kisses. "

—David and Jan Mueller

"Denise and Dave have been caring for our pets for 12 years! We had the pleasure of meeting Denise in 2003, when we needed a compassionate person to care for our beloved cat Maxie and our 2 fish tanks when we went on vacation. Denise was truly a blessing, especially when Maxie developed kidney disease about 4 years later. Denise graciously agreed to administer her fluid therapy, even though it meant that we had to train her to do it. She has always been there to depend on. Denise and Dave have continued to offer the very best in pet care with our new cats, Boris and Natasha, as well as our fish (pictured in the slide show). We could not offer any higher recommendation for responsible and caring people."
