Pet care experience
Fun Times for Furry Friends
Caring for animals has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Over the years I've looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish - and I've genuinely loved every minute of it. Now that I'm recently retired, ( I retired a few years early) I finally have the time to do what I've always wanted to do; dedicate my days to helping pets feel happy, safe, and understood. I volunteered at SICSA and completed classes focused on both cat and dog care, giving me a strong foundation and animal behavior, safety, and enrichment. I also share my home with a 5-year-old German Shepherd and have worked closely with a professional trainer picking up many effective training techniques along the way. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the heart of how I interact with every animal. Whether your pet needs a midday break, a walk to burn off energy, or simply some company while you're away, I'm here to help. My goal is to give your pet a great day - and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I take care of pets in their own home by following their normal routines, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and comfort. And make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away, so their day stays as stress-free and familiar as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Deanna is an absolute lifesaver! I never have to worry when I’m out of town, because she takes such amazing care of my energetic and dietarily sensitive cat. She follows feeding instructions perfectly, keeps my kitty active and happy, and sends plenty of pictures. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and pays attention to every detail, Deanna is the one!
Dee took wonderful care of my 3 cats while I was away for work. She made sure they had plenty of playtime, kept their litter boxes clean, and gave them the attention they needed to stay relaxed and content. I could tell they were happy and well looked after when I returned. I will book her again if I have to be away for any length of time.

Schedule
I'm recently retired, which means I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pets. I offer open availability every day up until 3:00 p.m., making it easy to fit in walks, droppings, play time, or midday check-ins. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break or some extra company while you're away, I'm here to help keep their routine smooth and stress free.
