Dog mom, lover of all fur babies
Pet care experience
I have 7+ years of experience working as a dog walker and carer. I also volunteered at a dog rescue for an additional 2 years. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and with all sorts of personalities and physical limitations. Each dog requires their own individual attention based on their upbringing, age, and physical capabilities. I am patient and affectionate with dogs and love taking them outdoors to stretch their legs and explore the world. I hope you will consider me as your dog's next new friend. As I live in a condo, I take my dog (and will take your fur baby) on many walks every day. I feed my dog on his schedule and can easily follow your dog's schedule, being mindful of his/her specific needs. I work remote and have the flexibility to take breaks and go for walks with my dog throughout the day. On weekends, I usually go hiking or on a long walk in nature, which both my dog and I love. When boarding your dog at my home, your pup will be treated as lovingly as mine. I cuddle, play, and exercise with the dogs. I make sure your dog is happy while you're away, and I send a lot of pictures and videos. I know I would love the same if my dog were in your hands.
Reviews
Deanna is fantastic! We left Ferris with her during our vacation to Mexico and he loved it. We got several updates and photos and he was very calm and relaxed upon pick up.
Deanna is amazing. She stayed in contact with us and sent pictures with daily reports. Ferris seemed VERY relaxed during his stay with her. We will be requesting more stays at Deanna’s in the future!
Deanna was wonderful with our dog and he loved her pup Zeus as well. She sent lots of pics and updates. Highly recommend!
This was my first time leaving my fur baby and it was a long one, 10 days! Deanna was awesome, and she made me and Simba feel so comfortable. She sent daily updates in photos and videos. Her and Zeus were freest hosts and I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future!

Your fur baby is in great hands at my home. I give lots of pets and cuddles, as well as taking your pup out to stretch his/her legs. I have a dog who loves to relax most of the day, but also enjoys playing tug and chase with new furry friends.

Information Deanna W. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know if your dog is aggressive or reactive in any way, whether that's when it comes to feeding, walking on-leash, or a vocal trigger during play. I also need to know if there are any specific dietary or medical needs.
A typical day
On weekdays, I take the dogs out on four walks around my neighborhood. I am down the street from Four Mile Run Trail and Mt. Jefferson Gateway. The area is very dog friendly with several parks nearby as well.

Availability
I work remotely and have plenty of flexibility to exercise and play with your dog. Weekends usually involve some longer walks in nature (as I love hiking), but am cognizant of your pup's preferences and needs, so this is optional.
