Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Deanna and I am 31 years old. I've been a digital nomad for a few years and recently decided to settle in Massachusetts. I have been caring for furry family members for friends and family since I was a teen. I also grew up with dogs and cats in my household. I have completed more than 25 sits in more than a dozen countries. I'm grateful to say I have met truly wonderful people and animals through pet sitting. If you would like to read my reviews from the international pet sitting platform I've been using, feel free to reach out. I'm an easygoing person who loves traveling, reading, writing, cooking, and any type of creative activity. My "day job" is graphic design, which I do remotely. I'll soon be starting grad school to pursue my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have experience with pets with special needs including special dietary needs, giving insulin injections, daily grooming, a dog and a cat with a missing limb (these animals are typically just as active as any other!) and pets who were both blind and deaf. I have also cared for high anxiety animals and have a knack for helping them feel at ease through maintaining calmness, giving lots of love, and consistency.
Reviews
Deanna was perfect! We had a last minute need for a walker and helped us out in a pinch. Great communication and we came home to a happy dog. What more could you ask? Thank you Deanna!
My babies loved hanging out with Deanna and she was super helpful with sending pics and keeping me posted on how they were doing. She took my big, high drive, dog on plenty of long walks (which is so important for him), and gave them plenty of cuddles. Thank you Deanna !!
After meeting Deanna we knew she was the perfect sitter for our elderly dog. She’s attentive, dependable and when we returned home our dog was tired and happy. We couldn’t ask for more.
Deanna watched our dog and 2 cats for a week. Our dog had a lot going on with a recent tail surgery, wearing a cone, needing meds. She sent lots of updates and asked questions when they came up. The house was clean when we came back, garbage taken out etc. would definitely use her again!

A typical day
This depends on each animal's personal preferences and normal routines. I try to follow their routines as closely as possible. I enjoy taking pets for walks in lovely natural places that we can both enjoy, playing fetch for those who love fetch, or for older dogs who may have trouble on long walks, keeping their walks short and opting for lots of cuddle time instead.
