Where pets are family. 🐾
Pet care experience
I’ve been working with dogs since 2015 and became a professional dog groomer in 2017, continuing in that role until 2020. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’m dedicated to exploring every avenue to deepen that connection. I currently volunteer at the Newark Animal Shelter as a dog walker, and every moment spent with the animals there brings me joy. Whether your pet has paws or purrs, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring, capable hands. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos to keep you connected while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering medications—both oral and injectable—and always prioritize your pet’s health and comfort. Every dog and cat I care for is treated like family, with all the love, attention, and TLC they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them the best care possible!

Reviews
I had Deanna care for both of my dogs when I went away for the weekend. She updated me throughout the weekend with photos and funny stories about my dogs. I was timid at first to leave my dogs but Deanna made all of my worries subside! She really is the best out there and I can not recommend her enough!
Deanna was wonderful with our dog Bowie and cat Jools. Our cat is easy but the dog is an anxious boy, has trouble adapting to new people and Deanna was able to gain his confidence and get him to accept her and cuddle with her. She's smart and dependable and understands how to take care of even a nervous dog like Bowie. We were totally comfortable having her stay in our home and she consistently remained in touch with us, sending pictures of the pets and giving us an update on how they were doing. I only wish that she still lived in NY because we'd be calling on her even more since she's established a great relationship with our dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled pet sitter.
Deanna is a fantastic dogsitter! She is extremely responsible, caring, and reliable. She has cared for my 3 dogs in my home on numerous occasions and they all love her. I know my dogs are safe, loved, and well cared for while I am away and Deanna is in charge. When I return home it is apparent how smoothly things went in my absence and how calm and happy all the dogs were with her. She is also extremely reliable with keeping all 3 dogs on their schedules with their various medications, which is of utmost importance. Simply put, Deanna is the ideal dogsitter!
Deanna was very flexible with the times we needed her and she sent me picture updates the whole time! Definitely a re-book sitter :)

Safety, trust & environment
My beagle is a couch potato and will spend most of her day sleep. My jack Russell gets walks both in the morning and at night and training during the day to keep her active. I will do the same for your pets depending on your wants and the animals needs!
Information Deanna H. would like to know about your pet
A head of time it is important to know the dog’s routine and feeding habitats so I am able to keep them as normal as possible since being away from their owners can be hard for some animals.
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality! For playful pets, I’ll engage them with toys, games, and plenty of exercise—whether it’s fetch, wand toys, or interactive play. For more laid-back companions, I’ll provide lots of cuddle time, gentle brushing, and relaxing companionship. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, loved, and entertained while you’re away!

Pet care is a natural part of my routine and something I truly enjoy. I’m busiest from Tuesdays through Thursdays, but I make sure to schedule pet care around those days so that each visit or stay gets my full attention. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I always carve out dedicated time to care for each pet like they’re my own.
