Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with a balance of structure, patience, and genuine attention. I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine, following instructions closely, and paying attention to their individual personality and needs. I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and creating a calm environment so pets can relax and be themselves. I’m also very observant—I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might need attention. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, giving them affection, or simply being present, I treat every pet with the same level of care and respect as if they were my own. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel at ease.

Information DeAndre S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. Important things I ask about include feeding schedules, walking routines, energy level, and any medical needs or allergies. I also like to know about their behavior—how they interact with people, other animals, and any triggers or anxieties they may have. Understanding what makes them comfortable (and what doesn’t) helps me create a safe, stress-free environment. Additionally, I ask about things like favorite toys, commands they know, and any training preferences so I can stay consistent with what they’re used to. My goal is to make the experience feel as normal and comfortable as possible for your pet while you’re away.

A typical day

I like to keep pets both physically active and mentally engaged based on their personality and energy level. For more active dogs, I enjoy going on walks, light jogging, and playing games like fetch or tug to help them burn energy. For dogs that prefer a calmer pace, I focus on relaxed walks, gentle play, and plenty of attention and affection. I also like to incorporate simple mental stimulation, like basic training exercises, reinforcing good habits, or teaching small tricks using positive reinforcement. If your pet enjoys it, I’m happy to include enrichment activities like puzzle toys or hide-and-seek games. Most importantly, I adjust everything to what your pet enjoys so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

🐕 From My Dog Dutchess 2 Yours

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m DeAndre—a professional, dependable dog walker and sitter serving Tallahassee. I specialize in providing structured, attentive care for pet owners who value consistency, communication, and peace of mind. I maintain a full-time professional schedule (8–5), which allows me to focus on high-quality early morning, evening, and weekend care—ideal for busy professionals who need reliable support outside standard hours. I was a dedicated dog owner for many years. My dog Dutchess was with me from 2011 until she passed in October 2023. She was exceptionally patient, kind, and loving. While I’m not ready to own another dog just yet, caring for other pets genuinely fulfills that same sense of purpose and connection. I trained Dutchess from 6 months old, giving me a strong foundation in consistency, behavior awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and helping dogs build good habits in a calm, structured environment.
