Pet care experience
5 Acres To Run • 12+ Years of Care
Your dog will stay on our private 5-acre ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support.

Ratings and reviews
Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!
Deana Del Vecchio is truly a top notch dog trainer. I feel extremely fortunate that she agreed to work with my 5 month old male German Shepherd puppy. I sent him to Deana for IGP sport work foundation and overall social behavior skills development. Deana balanced the two brilliantly, and I couldn’t be more PLEASED with the results. Throughout the 3 months of his training, Deana constituently provided me with both written and video updates of my dogs progress. The videos are an extremely helpful training tool and reference source for me. Additionally through the videos, It was clear to see that my dog was super excited and extremely happy to be training and playing with Deana. It was exciting to see his tracking, focused obedience and his overall development progress. If you are considering a dog trainer, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEANA. I will be sending my dog back to her at a future date for additional training. I chose Deana because she is a skilled IGP Sport Dog competitor, a positive trainer, and compassionate person. I am extremely grateful for all she has done for me and my dog Lex. I happily give Deana 5 out of 5 stars!! Kris Mechals (retired 3x police K-9 handler) and C’Alexei Vom Warkenhaus Redding, Ca.
Very responsive and my dog adores her! Truly has become such a blessing in our lives to find someone that our furbaby trusts as much as she trusts us! 🩷
Deana is THE BEST! I'm hesitant to write this review as I don't want Deana to be boooked up when I need her most!! Deana was a lifesaver for our new puppy! At only 10 weeks, Poppy needed constant attention and direction. Deana was incredibly punctual (the pick up and drop off option is by far the best thing on the planet), communicative, and followed our routine for Poppy. The fact that she has land and her own dogs for socializing pups is hard to come by in the Bay Area. She is truly a dog lover and transitioned our dog from crying when on car rides to not crying at all when in the car. Deana, we can't think you enough. We initially found Deana for a week long work trip, but have since used her 5 times over the spring and summer, each stay about a week long. We joke our pup has spent more time with her than us! We gave her permission to travel with our puppy, and honestly she has received such a great puppy head start on life!
I use Deana anytime I go on vacation, and my pets love going to her! She always sends so many updates with pictures and I am so happy to have found her!
This review is long overdue. Deanna took exceptional care of our dog, Mars, over Christmas, and we couldn’t be happier with her help. From the very beginning, she made Mars feel comfortable and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Deanna also kept us posted daily by sending pictures of Mars. Mars has a small tumor on his leg, and Deanna was incredibly attentive; she applied his ointment every single day and made sure the wound was properly cared for throughout our trip. Deanna followed all of our instructions to the letter, including meal prep details. We had packed Mars’s meals in separate ziplock bags and asked that they not be discarded so we could reuse them. Deanna was extremely thoughtful and diligent—she kept every ziplock and even packed them neatly for us to take home. Overall, Deanna went above and beyond in caring for Mars. We are truly grateful for her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their pet.
