Veterinary Tech to watch your pets!
Pet care experience
*I am doing pet sitting/walks/drop ins full time! Can be with your pet all day if needed.** Hi there! My name is Deana, I worked in Veterinary medicine for 15 years. Mostly with dog and cats, I spent two years working emergency exotic medicine. I am very comfortable and confident in my skills as an animal caregiver. If you have a senior pet, young pup or a pet that is on daily medication, SQ fluids or injections. I am your girl! During my career in medicine I would regularly offer pet sitting to my clients. It was a really amazing way to get to connect with my patients. They definitely felt like my babies too! I would say I've been professionally pet and house sitting for over 15 years. In 2020 I decided to leave my career to start my own candle business. The last three years I have been building and growing. I am excited to get back into pet care. I miss having all my buddies. My schedule is extremely flexible.
Reviews
Deana was wonderful, we were a little nervous at first but she kept in touch with us by texting throughout the day and evening.
Deana is fantastic! Excellent at communication and flexibility, above all very dependable.
Our house was just as we left it, you couldn't even tell anyone had stayed there. Except she stripped the sheets off the bed and put them along with the towels she used on top of the washer :-)
Deana took good care of my sweet, goofy, rambunctious aussie. I've had Kahlua a little over a year and wanted to keep things as normal as possible. It was important to me that someone stay overnight so he could still have cuddles plus access to the back yard for important night sniffing. There are raccoons in the neighborhood, so if night sniffing turns to night barking, someone needs to bring him in and close his door. Deana made sure she knew the house rules for the doggo, vet info, and asked about food, supplements, etc. I was out of town for 9 days and got quick replies any time I texted. I came home to a happy, wiggly goofball. The house was clean, sheets washed and bed made. The cleaning really wasn't necessary for me, but a nice bonus.
About Deana D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is a major factor in the relationship I create with animals. Over the years I have really honed in how I interact with them. It is a second nature to me now. The tones in my voice, to the language and communication I use. I read their body language so quickly. I joke with friends that I "speak" animal. I just understand them. Especially the canine and feline species.
Information Deana D. would like to know about your pet
Likes and dislikes, if they are on any medication. What vet they use, if the pet has any favorite toys and scratch spots! Are they reactive to sounds, bikers, runners etc. Any food allergies.
A typical day
I love going on walks and exploring with the dogs I get to watch. One of my favorite things is experiencing the world with them. Getting to learn their personality. Figuring out the things they like to do. Knowing some pups would rather just hangout and do what I'm doing, if it be day to day tasks or just hanging out. And some dogs are ready and roaring to explore nature spots with me. I am up for it all.
