## Resource

Pet care is not just about convenience. It is about trust, community, and creating spaces where dogs, pet parents, and local business owners all feel supported. In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast , we welcome Shaina Denny , Founder and CEO of Dogdrop , a modern dog daycare brand built around flexible care, technology, and franchising. Shaina started Dogdrop after her miniature dachshund, Poppy, was a “dog daycare fail,” and she saw an opportunity to reimagine dog care for modern pet parents. Through Dogdrop, Shaina is building a scalable pet care model designed for community connection, franchise ownership, and exceptional dog care. Dogdrop describes its model as a dog daycare built specifically for franchising, with small-footprint locations, membership-based care, owner support, and custom technology powering the experience for dogs and their parents. In this episode, we explore: • Why empathy matters in pet care and business growth • How Dogdrop is reimagining dog daycare for modern communities • Why franchising can help local owners build meaningful pet care businesses • How technology can support, not replace, human connection • What it takes to scale trust in a care-based industry • Why community is essential to the future of pet care 🎙️ Hosted by Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa 🎧 Produced by Martha Huerta The future of pet care is not only about services. It is about building trusted communities where people, pets, and local owners can thrive.
