Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I am retired and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to hang out with your pup all day providing companionship, play time, regular walks. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering meds, or just giving some extra love, snuggles, and belly rubs, I’m all in. I naturally prioritize caring for animals so your furry friend will get plenty of love and attention and could be subject to spoiling… lol

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to pet sit in your home and your pet/s in their own environment. It seems to help keep anxiety at bay. When under my care, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I’m very mindful and situational aware of potential hazards, like securing gates, or keeping an eye out for unsafe toys or household items. I hold your pets well being in high regards.

Information Deana C. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to meet you and your pet/s before booking services and get to know more about: 🐾 their general favorites, including treats, toys and routines, 🐾 any medical conditions or allergies to be aware of, 🐾 potential triggers (loud noises, certain people/pets, etc.) and how they react to new people, 🐾 any rules or off-limits areas in the home/behaviors you might be working on. 🐾 and their vaccination status. 🐾 any other important info you feel would be beneficial to their care while you are away. 🐾 Please note that my schedule fills up quickly and bookings have expanded in to October already. To ensure your preferred dates are available, it’s recommended that you reserve them sooner rather than later for the best availability .

A typical day

Aside from waking up and feeding time, I love spending time with your pet/s whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or nearby park to playing ball, frisbee, or even relaxing in your back yard with them.. I am very fun loving and very generous with snuggle time, belly rubs, and affection.

Pet care experience

🐾 Hi there! I’m Deana. 🐾 I have 40 years experience caring for animals. From owning and raising my own to caring for those of friends, neighbors, loved ones and clients to volunteering and fundraising for local rescues Experience ranges from newborn pups, seniors, and handicapped. All breeds, temperament's, and energy levels welcome. 🐾 The level of compassion, care, responsibility, and trustworthiness, is what sets me apart from other sitters and has made me the “Go To sitter” for friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Animals are drawn to me and I have a special bond with them. 🐾 I’m a Retired Flight Attendant seeking to expand my pet sitting to full time on Rover, while fulfilling my passion and love for animals. 🐾 My goal is to give you a complete peace of mind while at work, on vacation, or simply implementing self care, knowing that your pets are in the best of hands. I’m also very flexible, patient, and will give your pets the same loving care that I give my own. I do have referrals and pet moms who can back that up. 🐾 Positivity, respect, and compassion are exercised in my daily life and I pride myself in having a “Go with the Flow” and “Above and beyond mentality”. 🐾 While you’re away, I will “move in” and take over where you left off. Your home will be immaculately maintained and I only occupy areas that are relevant to caring for your house and pet. 🐾 I will take care of mail retrieval, plant care (indoors and out) trash day, and upon your arrival bed linens are washed, bed made, and the restroom I occupy will be cleaned and sanitized.

We’ve worked with Ms. Deanna twice now, and both times have been amazing! She stays at our home while we’re away, and we always come back to a happy, relaxed, and well loved baby. It’s such a comfort knowing our little one is being spoiled and cared for right at home. We’re so grateful for her dependable and loving care!

Deana was absolutely wonderful with our three girls! We are very particular about who we leave our pets with and she took such great care of them while we were out of town. She provided plenty of check ins with photos and videos so we were able to feel good about them being in good hands and be able to enjoy ourselves on our trip. Highly recommend!

Ms. Deana is amazing! She absolutely spoiled our Cosmo and took such great care of him. She was very thorough, followed his schedule and care instructions perfectly, and sent us daily updates with lots of adorable photos and videos. We could tell our baby was getting spoiled with all the belly rubs and zoomies! When we came home, Cosmo smelled nice and fresh—she even wiped and brushed him—and our home was spotless, smelling better than when we left (like a hotel!). To top it off, she even gave our baby a matching plush ducky to keep him company while they hung out. We felt so comfortable knowing our Shih Tzu was in such great hands. If you want true VIP treatment and a sitter who will love and spoil your pup like their own, Ms. Deana is the perfect one for you!

Deana was amazing. She was wonderful with our 1 year old golden retriever, and went way above and beyond in house and pet sitting for us while we were away. She took our dog for extra walks and sent tons of pictures of the two of them having fun, and playing together. Deana has an amazingly positive and warm personality, and it is quite obvious that she is an animal lover. We were at complete peace while away knowing our dog was being given such great care. We were amazed at how clean she left our home when we returned, and her communication the entire time was excellent. I highly recommend Deana. She is simply outstanding!
