Experienced & Loving Caretaker

Pet care experience

I love being around all kind of animals, I grew up in a household where we regularly had dogs and I currently have a 3 year old cat, Atlas who I adopted as a kitten. He is the sweetest creature that brings so much joy and mischief into my life. Atlas was diagnosed with IMHA (anemia) a little after his first birthday, and in the last few months I’ve been treating him for diabetes. He is on a strict medication plan due to his health troubles, and I’ve been able to adapt and give him the special care he needs, with ease and love. As much as I would like to also adopt a dog into my life, it doesn’t quite make sense at this time to have one full time, as a single woman living in a small apartment. I would love the opportunity to spend time loving on and caring for your dog (or other pets) in my spare time!

Dena is great with cats and with dogs! My dog is in love with her and is always excited to see her. More impressively, my cat also loves her. My cat is very fearful and timid, but she is one of the couple people who I have seen pick up my cat and he looked comfortable. He didn't even try to get away. I have only done that maybe twice. I'm a bit jealous but mostly grateful. When my cat got diagnosed with diabetes, I was so nervous I would have to leave him at the vet when I go out of town in order for him to get the insulin injection he needs twice a day. Thankfully Dena has a diabetic cat of her own and I feel completely safe with her caring for my cat. Overall I trust Dena to take care of both my pets and to take it seriously.

I'm thrilled to recommend Dena as a pet caregiver on Rover! Dena is a huge animal lover, always gravitating toward them at social gatherings. She truly understands the unique behaviors and needs of different animals. She is a wonderful cat mother to her own pet, and grew up taking care of her family dog. I have also entrusted her with watching over my dog and cat on multiple occasions. She is highly organized, responsible, and understands the importance of busy schedules. Additionally, Dena also possesses excellent communication skills, and if asked would very excitedly send video and picture updates of someone’s pets. She is truly amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough for this job!

Information Dena S. would like to know about your pet

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if your dog needs and kind of special care or attention. As a parent to a special needs animal myself, I know just how important timely medication, dietary restrictions, etc. can be.

A typical day

Fun, stimulating activities are very important to keeping a dog happy and healthy! I love to play games like fetch and tug of war, as well as walks outside. I live a few blocks from Bayshore which is a great place for a nice long, scenic stroll.
