Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving other people’s pets
I have been volunteering at the San Diego animal shelter as a dog walker for a couple of years. I have been dogsitting for friends and neighbors for 8 years. I have been loving dogs since always. I treat dogs that I care for as they were mine. I have been living with my roommate’s dog for 4 years. He is absolutely the love of my life and I walk him and take him on fun adventures very often whether my roommate is in town or not. Volunteering at the shelter gave me experience in handling dogs that don't necessarily walk or behave perfectly.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for other people’s dogs, I strictly follow the directions of the owners in terms of habits, rules, and schedules. I am very communicative, sending often pics and updates.
Ratings and reviews
Denise was great with Torrey! She was communicative, reliable, and took great care of her. She also sent us regular updates and videos, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely have Denise watch Torrey again!

Milo loves Denise & she always goes above & beyond with him! Our favorite rover!

Always takes such good care of Chunky and Monkey!


Denise was fabulous with my cat Piper! She’s a natural with cats and updated me regularly with photos and videos! Highly recommend her!

Denise was amazing. She was so easy to coordinate with and clearly cared about our cats :)


Denise is amazing! She always goes above & beyond with Milo and takes him to do fun stuff and sends tons of updates. I could not recommend booking her more!
