Pet care experience

❤️Caring, Retired, Experienced ❤️

Hi. I’m here to put your mind at ease when you need to have your fur baby walked and /or cared for. We can play together or just cuddle. I frequent the dog park quite regularly with my labrador Emma. Hey, maybe we have seen each other there? I have a large fenced backyard in the Kahoe School neighborhood. In the summer I set up a dog pool with plenty of toys to play with, in the winter time outside play as an option but I have a big playroom downstairs as well. Before I retired, I taught life skills to special needs adults. I trained my dog Emma to be able to pass the vigorous testing to be a therapy dog through ‘Pet Partners.’ She went to work with me every day and provided a lot of hugs and play. I have done pet sitting as long as I can remember. I owned my own dog boarding business years ago when my children were young. Since then I take care of friends and families furkids. . Good communication with daily posts and updates and photos will be given. When I walk your dog, I am in the moment talking with your fur kid and keeping alert. No headphones distracting me. I have the ability to care for many types of animals, including cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, ducks, and chickens. I’ve owned all of them at one time or another. The furry kids I own now are two cats and one dog. The two boys are Russian Blues, named Dewey and Drizzle. They are 10-year-old brothers. My female Labrador, Emma is nine years old. They all get along with other dogs. As long as things don’t get too crazy. The three of them have been with me since they were babies. Our fur kids are an important part of our lives, and I will treat them as such. I can’t wait till we meet. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m retired so I’m almost always home. A Dr appointment here or there. When I first wake in the morning it’s massage and petting time. After about 10 minutes of lovin we get up and have breakfast and outside time. If the wind isn’t to crazy I take Emma for a walk or to the dog park so she can play ball. Then they have a nap. Emma let’s me know daily when it’s 11:30 for lunch, lol. The rest of the days vary with chores, working out, reading etc… I have a home with a big backyard with large shade trees. It has a chain link fence all around. We have outdoor furniture to rest on. Inside they are allowed on the furniture and beds. If you prefer other options for your dog, I’ll do my best to accommodate. If I’m caring for pets in your home I will follow all of the directions you give me, as well as your pets quirks. Im safety minded and will be alert. Your paying me to spend time with your pet so that is what I do. I have provided character references for your reassurance. When taking on a new client, I usually like to schedule a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit for each other.

Toffee loves coming to Deanna’s house. She pulls the leash to get to the front door - best compliment there is!

I feel so lucky to have found Deanna on this website. Ruby loves her and her dog too! It gives me great peace of mind knowing that Ruby is well taken care of when I'm away. I hope to use her many times in the future!

Deanna had the perfect calm household for my dog. She was very attentive to her, gave her lots of yard sniffing, and walks. I highly recommend her services and will be booking with her in the future!

Deanna did a great job with Pippin. She was very enthusiastic about Pippin and sent great pictures. I especially liked that we got pictures of Pippin the day we left him with her. We were traveling on vacation and seeing those pictures but us at ease and we didn't need to worry about him. All through the pictures showed us that he was having fun. And didn't miss us????

Deanna was an amazing caretaker for our dog. We felt comfortable the first time we left him with her and didn’t hesitate to go back again. It is easy to see that Winston likes her and we appreciated her updates with pictures and videos. We HIGHLY recommend her!

A typical day

There are so many fun activities to do with dogs. If your dog has a favorite please let me know. Typically walking is a great one to explore new scents and get out some energy. There is a very beautiful trail near my home. The local dog park is a great one. We would go early when it’s not as crowded and most of the people and dogs I’m acquainted with. Outside games with ball retrieving is usually a favorite. As I mentioned earlier I set up a small 1-2 foot pool in the summer for water play or relaxing. The outdoor patio furniture is available for naps and sunbathing. Indoors and out we can play tug and hide and seek games with myself or treats. I can provide chews/frozen beef marrow bones for chill time.

I’d like to know all about your pet as I find them so interesting with each different personality. I will schedule a meet and greet so we can se if we are a good fit. Since my dog is 9 years old, she will be uncomfortable if dogs jump on her. I will need an emergency contact number other than yourself, especially if you’re out of town. Your veterinarian, medication schedule, and we can’t forget feeding schedule. Your dog must be house broken. I can walk dogs that are good on the leash. If they aren’t we can play in the yard or at the dog park.
