I am a full time vet assistant at a small animal practice in Carroll Gardens. I occasionally pet sit and do drop in visits when available but generally lean more towards pets that can either be left alone for more than 4 hours or just need a drop in visits in the early am, midday or evening!

Information Denise S. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to know ahead of time any additional information on your dog/cat/other pets behavior not listed in the description of the booking :)

A typical day

I am open to walking long distances from your home or taking your dog to the park if necessary to keep them entertained. However, if your dog doesn’t walk a lot or walks at a slow pace, it’s no problem either! I am patient and will accommodate with whatever’s best for your pup.

Pet care experience

Hi! I am Denise. I have a bachelors degree in Zoology and am on a journey towards vet school. I have a strong passion for animals and have various types of animal handling experience with domestic and wildlife animals. I have five years of experience with dog walking/cat sitting on apps and an additional 10 years with my pets. I believe that every pet deserves personalized attention and care tailored to their needs and personality. I aim to adore yours!

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.
