Experienced dog lover/owner/rescuer
Pet care experience
I'm an avid animal lover, and have been involved in rescue for more than 14 years. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, Adabelle, an American Eskimo who is 12 and has been with me since she was 10 weeks old, and Minnie, an 13 yr old rescued LH Chihuahua/Pug mix. She was formerly a doggy client that I took care of until her Mom needed to rehome her. I jumped at the chance to add her to my family. I absolutely adore her. My own fur kids are used to all the doggy clients that come throughout the year. They get along with everyone. My home is very pet friendly. It's perfect for your pup(s) to lounge and/or play in while you are away. The yard is completely fenced in and the front & back yards are separated on both sides of the house by secure gates. Every day your dog is here he/she will get lots of outside exercise and play. Outdoor time is never unattended - I feel very strongly that it's my responsibility to ensure my pups' safety as well as any in my care. Dogs & cats are truly my passion - and I love taking care of them!
Reviews
My dog stayed 5 nights with Deanna, Seymour St, Springfield, MA. July 24 - 29, 2018, while I had surgery. My daughter picked her up before noon, and my granddaughter immediately noted two slashes on her right-side, My daughter immediately texted Deanna, who said she hadn’t noticed the injury - didn’t know what happened. Since being home, my dog has been constantly trying to lick the wounds, so my daughter put a bandage wrap around her abdomen. She also received a text back from Deanna, saying My dog had obtained the wound chasing a bunny with another dog, before she was picked up. The dog and her dog mattress bed reek of cigarette smoke, and need thorough washing. The dog will go to the vet tomorrow, another cost to me, the owner.
I was very happy with our experience with Deanna. She was sincerely interested and focused on Bill, our geriatric mini poodle. She provided him with experiences that Bill likes - outside a lot, fenced yard, lots of smelling and a cozy place to take a nap and human company. We used Deanna for daycare when we had an event near her home by far from ours. I wish she lived closer as I would use her again. I strongly recommend her services. Quick response, good directions to her location. Sent us an update even though it was a daycare experience.
Deanna is amazing! Khole will be back soon.
Deanna made sure our dogs were comfortable in their new setting. She set up gates to keep our older sight impaired Cockapoo safe during his stay. Our shy Yorkiepoo came out of her shell during her stay and played with Deanna's dogs.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Each & every doggy client gets individual attention from me many times throughout their stay, including belly rubs, brushings (if they're ok with being brushed, if not we can play with toys give belly rubs, etc) I have a variety of dog beds throughout the house so everyone gets one, or if they prefer and pawrents approve, they can lie on the couch, ottoman or recliner.
Information Deanna B. would like to know about your pet
Somethings I would like to know about your pet: *Are there any medications your dog is taking? *Any behavioral (resource guarding (toys, food) or aggressive tendencies or health issues *Is your dog currently up to date on all shots? *Get along with other dogs? *Does your dog have any allergies I should be aware of? * Does your dog have any sensitivities to touch? Ears? Back? Paws?
A typical day
I thoroughly enjoy being with the dog(s). I am with them 24/7 and love it! Even though I have a fenced in yard, I don't leave them outside unattended. If they're outside, I'm out there with them. Interaction for me is a must!
