Information Dalenne S. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog's normal routine? I aim to maintain their usual routine in order to reduce stress during their stay. Send along a T-shirt or pillows case you have used as a transition object for your pup. It calms them to have your scent with them on their bed.

A typical day

With a large back yard, it makes it easy for games of catch or frisbee! And we also have the beach a few blocks away for stimulating strolls on sand!

Individualized care for your pup

Pet care experience

As an animal caregiver at Animal Friends of Pittsburgh, PA for several years, I learned to handle dogs with various behavioral issues: such as difficult to take a pill, administer subcutaneous fluids, special diets to separation anxiety. Dogs are calmed by my presence because they feel the genuine love I have for them and they often make good models for my paintings! I have the proven integrity and experience to put you at ease that your loved one will be in good hands while you are away. I focus on individual care and will devote my time to their well being and communicating with you so everyone is on the same page. Your dog will be treated as family here in our cozy beach house!

We like Dalenne, and will be using her service again. My dog seemed to be comfortable with her and the Cat. What else can I ask for :-)

Dalenne sent me pictures and updates of my dog daily. She gave him his medications as prescribed and was quick to respond. She was very pleasant. We would be happy for her to watch our dog again.
