SHAINA DENNY
CEO & Co-Founder
Dogdrop
Shaina Denny, the dynamic female, LGBTQ+ CEO, and co-founder of Dogdrop, a groundbreaking dog daycare franchise that is reshaping the landscape of canine care, is inspiring devoted pet parents and aspiring entrepreneurs alike. Denny’s venture into the pet care industry wasn’t just a career shift; it was a transformative experience. Having gathered valuable insights from her previous role at an electric car manufacturer in Beijing, where she honed the skills of nurturing early-stage companies and steering them to success, Denny returned to the United States and made Los Angeles her home. It was there that her journey took afurry turn with the introduction of Poppy, a mini chocolate dapple dachshund, sparking the inception of Dogdrop.
Dogdrop stands as a testament to Denny’s commitment to enhancing the experience for both dog parents and their companions. The concept is simple yet revolutionary – membership-based dog daycare that fits in mixed-used properties, fostering peace of mind for parents and a vibrant community for dog enthusiasts. Utilizing science-based training methods as the foundation for how Dogdrop interacts with the dogs, the brand has optimized socialization, brain stimulation, and relaxation. By paying in 30-minute increments and offering curbside pickup, Dogdrop allows flexibility for the dog owner. This modern, tech-savvy approach, allows Denny and her team to solve the evolving needs of dog parents.
Meanwhile, Denny has worked tirelessly to shine a light on, and advocate for, female entrepreneurs as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. She has become one of the most recognizable female, LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs within the franchise industry.
