Pet care experience
I became a dog-walker at the SPCA when I was fifteen, and I've had dogs be a large part of my life ever since. Something as simple as walking can turn into such a fun, symbiotic act with a leashed pup. I have taken dog body language classes, and I like to believe I know how to speak canine, which has helped me gauge what it is they want/need. I loooOOOoove being outdoors, and if I could play all day, I would. Besides dog-walking at the SPCA, I am also a dog sitter for two lovely families for sometimes three weeks at a time. I work as a massage therapist, so I'm basically a professional petter as well. My hope is to keep your furry family member in its routine, so the only thing they miss is YOU. Sadly, I just moved into a new place that doesn't allow dogs. I will greatly miss boarding, but I would be appreciative to be considered to dog-sit in your home! I find that most dogs are more at ease in their own familiar spaces as well. For a small peace of mind: I always come prepared with my own food, and ALWAYS leave the house better than when I found it. I am humbled by the trust people have in me being in their home, and would never do anything to break that trust. Thank you for reading a little about me and what I offer!
Reviews
Deanna is AMAZING! From the moment we met her we felt so assured that our dog was in good hands. She was communicative and has a natural connection with our frenchie. We cannot recommend her enough to watch your fur babies!
Deanna went above and beyond for our boy Tyson! She watched him for a few days while we were out of town and we could tell that he was well cared for and happy. She even spoiled him with homemade frozen treats for the hot days! She sent us daily updates with pictures and videos. She left our apartment in great condition, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely recommend her as a sitter and would be happy to have her again!
Deanna was just what the ‘doctor’ ordered! My pup was recovering from a traumatic experience; quite physically injured. Deanna came to my home, supplied a very safe, chill day for me and my pup! So needed.
Deanna is awesome! My black lab Wally AND my house was very well cared for when I had Deanna watch him! He needs lots of exercise and has some special quirks...and Deanna was amazing. My house was clean when I got back and she even took care of my plants! Love her!!!

Safety, trust & environment
When dog-sitting in your home, I'm happy to do whatever it is you do with them. If you allow them to sleep in your bed, I will gladly step into that. If they are typically crated at night, I'll be sure to do the same.

Information Deanna B. would like to know about your pet
I really love detailed information of each pet's routine, and what the expectation is. My goal is to pick up where you leave off, and continue to create the consistency that I feel most animals require.
A typical day
I'm a big walker no matter the season, and I find it's the best way to get some necessary energy out of the system. Tug-of-war, snuggle sessions, and fetch are definitely a big part of that as well.
