Will give your dog major love!

I had a dog in my household as a child but didn't have one of my own until I was in my late 40s. I adopted him as a puppy having no clue how much work puppies are! He was a pit-bull mix who proved to be super smart (easily trained). He was the love of my life, but he died a few years ago. I miss having a dog, but at this stage of my life would rather "borrow"them. My house and yard are dog-friendly, and my neighborhood is a great place to walk. I am happy to discover each dog's quirks and preferences and accommodate them. I understand their needs for human interaction when their owners aren't around and am happy to fill the gap. I’m extremely flexible and accommodating and can accept pets with incontinence issues caused by age or health, but I can’t accept healthy pets who aren’t house trained. I currently don’t work outside my home so am able to provide a routine that meshes with what the dog is used to at his or her home. I just mesh my guest dogs into my household, following owner’s guidelines for feeding, walking, and potty times but otherwise just giving them attention and affection inside the house or in my yard.

Deanna took great care of our elderly and active dog while we're out of town. She updated us everyday with pictures and videos. We're relieved to see that our dog was having a great time. She treated him like he's her own. When we picked him up, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave because he had so much fun staying with Deanna.

Deanna is amazing! We are from out of state and we were looking for someone to watch our dog while we were at a wedding. Deanna took the best care of Timber and made her so comfortable! She had space to play, toys to play with, and took lots of notes for being able to take care of Timber to the best of her ability. She also sent us lots of photos and videos which I loved! Will 100% choose Deanna again if we are back in the area!

A typical day

My neighborhood is a really cool place for dog walking, and for dogs who want to go the distance, there's a park to walk to and from for an hour loop. My smallish yard is fenced in, although large jumping dogs might be able to escape. I would be outside with any dogs hanging out in my yard and have toys for them to play with. I'm home most of the time, so the dogs I board will get a lot of attention.

No breed preferences whatsoever. In addition to feeding times and number and timing of walks (to keep to the dog's usual schedule as close as possible), I would want to know in advance about any proclivities. Are they diggers, jumpers? Are they sofa or shoe chewers? Just so I can prepare (and protect) the environment for them. Also helpful to know what commands they understand. I have experience training a dog from puppyhood, so I'm willing to attempt some modest training upon request if the owner desires.
