As a Montessori teacher, I am very observant to my surroundings and cleanliness. I used to keep children ages three through kindergarten safe on a daily basis and I am prepared to make sure that your pet is also safe!

Information Denise M. would like to know about your pet

Please share with me any specific behaviors, likes and /or dislikes your pet may have that would be helpful in their day to day care.

A typical day

Since every pet is different, the care of each pet will be based upon their needs and enjoyment. I am happy to give snuggles, belly rubs, playtime, walks, etc.

Retired Teacher that loves animals

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs, rabbits, birds, lizards, mice, and cats for most of my life. I’ve had these pets in my home, as well as helped care for them in the preschool/kindergarten that I worked at. I’m retired teacher after 38 years and looking for an outlet to share that love of animals.

Denise did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She sent photos from every visit and even helped to take out our trash and clean up a bit so we could come home and relax after a long trip!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
