I respect your home & love your pup
Pet care experience
I've loved and been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember: my family owned pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and horses. I also currently have a 6-yr old retired and rescued racing Greyhound of my own. After completing my Master's degree in 2011, I moved to Chicago and immediately took a position as tour manager for a band. Pet-sitting was the perfect in-between-tours income, and it's something I did very often - caring for both cats and dogs (including a very large and very anxious Great Dane for an entire week). After obtaining a full time job in Chicago, I often dog sat a couple of times a week, primarily in other people's homes for ease on the pups. We moved to Knoxville fall of '16 to begin a doctoral program at UT. Here, we adopted a retired racing Greyhound, as mentioned above, and I'm looking forward to getting back into dog walking other pet sitting services during the summer! My schedule is flexible, so we can work together to make plans that best suit you and your critter(s)! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Deanna was absolutely wonderful! Our fur babies loved her, and I could tell that she loved them as well! We received at least one picture and update per day, which really put our minds at ease. She was very respectful of our home as well. We would definitely book her again! Thanks so much, Deanna!
Deanna was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond what I expected. She sent me daily pics of my pets and even sent me a video! I knew my pets were extremely happy at all times. Deanna even stayed an extra night when my flight was cancelled. I would highly recommend Deanna and would definitely rebook with her!
Took great care of the pets and great to work with, would definitely use again and recommend to others
Deanna was awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was very attentive and easy to communicate with.

Information Deanna J. would like to know about your pet
The more details the better! I'd love to know exactly what your pup's routine is, so I can try and keep to that while I care for him/her. Things like: feeding and walking schedule, likes/dislikes, temperament toward other pups and people, general behavior, etc. are some of the most important things to know. But again, I'm up for listening to any detail you'd like to deliver - from their favorite toy to their favorite place to be scratched. I want to know it all!
A typical day
I'm very flexible and try to mimic the routine/style of the pups' owner. My partner and I generally allow what the owners allow and make rules where the owners make rules. This applies to sleeping, furniture, treats, etc. Generally, we just enjoy hanging out with the pups and doing things such as cuddling, playing fetch, watching Netflix, and going for walks. Depending on what the pup prefers, I also enjoy extended walks and going for runs.
