Pet care experience

Friendly and experienced !

I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I was raised helping my mom care for foster animals from our local rescue, for the past 5 years I have worked in animal care as a veterinary assistant, and I have been servicing clients on Rover for almost 10 years now. I have experience working at an animal rescue center where I was trained in animal behaviour. Meaning, I am comfortable around animals of various temperaments including extremely nervous and/or reactive dogs and cats. I have an understanding of basic positive reinforcement training provided which allows me to feel comfortable redirecting and rewarding your pets behaviours as needed. I have spent the past 5 years working as a veterinary assistant, specifically in emergency medicine and surgery. I have worked with cats, dogs and horses! I am working towards a career as a registered veterinary technician. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medication and can closely observe your pets health during our time together to make sure they are comfortable and healthy. My passion is animal welfare. I have dedicated my whole life to spending as much time with animals as I can. From horseback riding lessons, to helping my mom with foster kittens, to now dedicating a career in veterinary medicine. I am comfortable and confident with all breeds and behaviours. I am always happy to meet in person before booking a service and providing as many updates as you wish while with your pet. Do not hesitate to ask any questions, I want to make your experience with me as comfortable and clear as possible!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When booking a service with me, the first thing I do is clarify any rules and restrictions you have for your pet and/or your home. The first service with your pet can sometimes be stressful since I am a new person. For that reason I like to do a meet and greet before if possible, and I want to try to stick to the same routine you have with your pet.

As a first time user Denise was great! She calmed my first time user/owner nerves. I look forward to having Denise walk June again.

Any training details that you want me to continue with your pet when engaging with them. For dogs, I appreciate knowing if they have any triggers (ex. Bicycles, other dogs) and if they are allowed to interact with people or dogs on walks. This helps me make sure I’m not putting myself or your pet in a dangerous or uncomfortable situation.

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.
