**Please read my profile before sending a request, please also note, I do not accept drop offs before 8am (daycare drop offs being the exception) or pick ups after 830pm, unless previously agreed upon at least 48 hours in advance** We will make your pet feel right at home when they come stay with us. We are located right off for i35, which is especially easy to get to when headed to the airport. We do have a very large, fenced in backyard for the pups to run and play in. Our neighbors are also extremely friendly and love to come meet and play with our boarding dogs. We strive to sticking to the dogs schedule that they’re comfortable with at their own home. I am a stay at home mom to a 8 year old so someone is at home all of the time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I do offer free pick up and drop off for all pets within a 10 mile radius. I just ask that your pet be accustomed to leash walking and car rides for this service. I offer drop in visits as well as walks. Drop in visits are 30 minute long visits where I come to your home to provide food/water, a walk or potty break and lots of attention. I offer drop in visits for cats as well, where I will come give your kitty lots of attention, scoop the litter box and offer food/water. I have experience with animals with diabetes that require insulin injections as well as pets with medication or special care needs. A little about my family and myself- I'm a 32-year-old female living in Merriam. I attended college and majored in Early Childhood Education. I have one child, he is 8 years old. We have worked extremely hard with him on proper manners around all animals especially dogs. Since I am home full time I am able to send as many pictures and updates as you want. I am also available for FaceTime if that is something you would want to do with your pet while your away. We have 2 dogs that reside in our home with us. We have fostered for a few different rescues occasionally and have regular boarding clients that frequently use our services. I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as cats. We have been involved in the animal rescue world for over 12 years and have been using Rover for 9 years. I am organized, punctual, and a non-smoker. A little more about our personal pets- Myla is our goldendoodle, she is 5 now. She loves to play chase and loves to wrestle with other dogs. She loves all other dogs/cats and every single humans he meets. Milly is our basset hound mix, she is almost 11 years old. She is the reason we started pet sitting. She is a vocal player and loves to be chased/chase other dogs in the backyard. She isn’t a pushy player however and doesn’t annoy other dogs that do not want to play. She is dog/cat friendly and loves humans of all sizes. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to meeting you and your pets!!!

Deanna was great! She shared photos of my pet, was very prompt to communicate about drop-off/pickup times, and had everything packed up when I arrived!

Deanna is great with our dog. She went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable while we were away. She sent pictures and reassured us that our baby was doing well. We will definitely use Deanna again!

Our furbaby Azuki has stayed with Deanna and her family 3 separate times now. She’s taken wonderful care of Azuki and has given her so much attention and love. I appreciate Deanna being available and willing to take Azuki on short notice and keeping me updated on how she’s doing. Azuki looks forward to staying with her again in the future!

My dog really enjoyed staying with Deanna and her family. The communication was great and she was wonderful being flexible with my pickup time. We’ll definitely use her again.

Deanna is my go-to person on Rover when I need care for my dogs. She has a wonderful rapport with them and they are completely comfortable with her. Its such a relief to have this kind of help when you need it. Deanna is a gem!

We would like to know if you have ever left your pet with a sitter before? Any separation anxiety? If yes, does your dog need medication? Will your dog jump a 4.5ft fence? (If yes, we have a 100 ft tie out available) Good with dogs of all sizes? Crate trained when alone or is pet allowed to free roam your house?
