Loving sitter w/20+yrs experience

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I am a passionate animal lover, and knowledgeable caregiver. I have over 22 years of hands on experience. I have picked up tons of knowledge along the way and enjoy broadening my knowledge when it comes to dog nutrition, health, ownership and training. Canine enrichment and exercise is something I find to be both truly beneficial and incredibly important to creating a well balanced dog, and happy/healthy relationship with your dog. With this said, in my home, I offer daily activities/enrichment and exercise for dogs. If you wonder what this looks like, please feel free to reach out! 🙂 Here’s is a little background information about me! I first got involved actively with dogs when I was 10. I showed dogs in 4-H in both confirmation, obedience and agility. I quickly found a passion for dog training as well as behavior modification. I immersed myself with information about training dogs as well as animal psychology. I began working with dogs and their humans to create happy, healthy relationships, as well as educating owners. Such a rewarding experience! For the past 22 years, I have held long term jobs in animal hospitals, dog daycares, pet boutiques, animal shelters, and have been an apprentice/assistant dog trainer for one of KC’s top dog trainers. For me, working with animals has never been enough. I enjoy volunteering in any free time I have to better animals lives. I volunteer at a couple of rescues/humane societies, and really enjoy the wide variety of volunteer opportunities that I am able to do! I am an active foster home for pets with special needs and sometimes litters of kittens/puppies. I also enjoy going on rescue outreach every weekend. When I foster, I have a soft spot for animals that have special needs, as well as senior dogs. I feel like I have seen it all, and am happy to care for dogs who need some tlc! I am pet first aid/cpr certified, and am comfortable and experienced with giving dogs medication, and injections etc. if needed.

I appreciate Deanna sooooo much! She took very good care of my puppies. She text me often letting me know that my puppies were ok. Deana followed the routine I laid out for her. She is the perfect sitter. I look forward to Deanna sitting for my pups again. Also, she sent me the cutest pictures! Thank you Deanna for taking care my babies!

Deanna is an amazing pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is punctual, loving, and goes above and beyond when taking care of animals. She is very knowledgeable about different breeds, their specific needs, and fulfills the needs asked by the owner! If you're looking for the best, you've found her!

Working with animals is never an easy task. It takes a very gifted person to show the kind of patience, love, passion and knowledge that is required. Deanna and I used to work together several nights a week at a doggy day care; so I've witnessed first hand that very "gift" that Deanna has to share and believe me when I tell you; she truly is gifted in the art of animal care. I would NOT hesitate in trusting Deanna with my very own dogs. I would rest assured knowing that they were under the care of someone who will treat them as their own and who will always have their best interest at heart.

Information Deanna D. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything you want to share with me about your dog. Here are a few things that I would like to know. We can talk more if you're interested in hiring me and I can go over the whole list. I would like to know the dogs likes, dislikes. Is your dog house trained, leash trained? Food/treat schedule? On any medications? Emergency number for the dog. What vet you take your dog to. I am fine with any breed and have experience with pretty much all of them!

A typical day

I love being active with dogs! If you have a fun activity that you and your dog like to do together, I am happy to do that! Whether that be a car ride, trip to the dog park, special ice cream treat etc. Let me know what your dogs likes are, and I will be happy to do whatever, to help your pup feel at home!
