Pet care experience

Highly experienced animal caretaker

Hello, my name is Deanna. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and I have 4 years of professional animal handling experience. I’ve been managing a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Virginia Beach for 3 years, and worked as a kennel attendant at the same place for 1 year prior to stepping into management. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes, temperaments, ages, and medical needs. In addition to dog handling I have also had hands on experience with cats and birds/reptiles/and small mammals. I am familiar with dog and cat first aid, and comfortable+knowledgable on administering medications and injectables such as insulin. I am leaving my full time animal care job to start school, and that gives me the ability to set my own schedule and continue to work with animals. I have my own 3 pets, 2 of them being reactive rescues, one of which I have fully obedience trained myself. I am very comfortable going slow with nervous dogs, and handling big excited dogs! I love working with animals and I hope you consider me to care for your pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have managed a facility of over 100+ dogs for the last several years, so I would go into it with the experience I’ve gained from working within this field. Ensuring there is nothing unsafe within reach of the pets in your home when no one is there, following your directions to a T for your care preferences, and communicating with owners to ensure and safe and comfortable environment for your pets whether it’s in home sitting or just walks.

If you have a nervous or reactive dog I just ask that you let me know the best way to approach our first meeting, and how you would like me to go about outings with your pup! I have my own reactive/selective dog and have tons of professional experience with stranger weary dogs, so just let me know and I will accommodate!
