Pet care experience
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been surrounded by animals. We lived in a farm and I was always taking care of the cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits.. ect.. You name it. Over the years, I have volunteered at different local rescues, SPCA and worked at an veterinarian practice . I also foster dogs whenever I’m able. I truly love animals. It doesn’t matter if it’s my dog, a foster dog or a clients dog. They will be cared for and loved as long as they are in my care. My house is full of animal lovers too. We decided to join Rover after was so panicked about where our dogs would go while we were on a family vacation. We usually bring them with us, but this time, it wasn’t possible. I didn’t want them to go to a kennel, where they would be on concrete runs 24/7 and not staffed at night. I came very close to staying home while everyone else went. We finally found care for them in our home. I want to help others who feel the same way I did. I not only want you to enjoy a stress-free vacation, but i also want your furbabies to have their own vacation too. We go on daily pack walks and we have over a 1/2 acre fenced in for playtime or just relaxing. During summer months, we have a dog pool and sprinkler play. We have a separate room that can be utilized for dogs that like a little down time (available if we do not have a current foster) Complete with big fluffy beds, 70 inch TV (complete with DogTV) toys and a comfy couch. Otherwise , we have dog beds scattered thought the house. I will also provide pictures and updates as frequently as you’d like. Whether you have a puppy or a 15 year old senior (my favorites!) we have the experience and the love. I’m home almost all day, 7 days a week. If I need to run out for a quick errand, there will always be someone here. My husband has K9 military and police training experience as well and my son has also volunteered at local animal rescues. We have a fenced in secure yard with 2 happy dogs available to play anytime. We also have a quiet room for dogs that need or want a little R&R time away. We also have crates available for those who feel more comfortable with utilizing them. Whether laying outside soaking up,the sun or watching TV curled up on the couch, We want YOUR dog to feel happy, safe and loved while in our care.
Reviews
My sweet puppy was very well taken care of by Deanna and her family. I was provided daily updates along with photos and video. Will definitely use again.
Deanna went above and beyond! Very thoughtful of my kitties and my home while I was away. Thank you so much for being a wonderful caretaker.
Deanna was great and we will definitely be booking again. Kobe was in great hands
Deanna is the absolute best. I had a family emergency and she was able to take care of my furr babies with such short notice.

I have a fenced in yard. We love to play outside. However, your dog will never be outside alone. I will always be supervising all outdoor time.

Information Deanna T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know any special needs your baby might have. Any food allergies, likes or dislikes. Any information you can share with us to make it easier for the both of you would be great.
A typical day
We typically will play ball or tug of war outside a few times a day. We do enrichment activites as well. On hot days, we have doggy ice cream. Arts & crafts on different days of the week are planned. We do a daily pack walk that (depending on who we have)can last anywhere from 45 mins to 2 hours. We have walking trails, hikes and a lake nearby.
