Experienced, Trustworthy Pet Care

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover and seasoned professional, I bring a unique blend of personal passion and expert care to every pet I look after. Raised in a state forest by animal-loving parents, I’ve been surrounded by a variety of pets-from dogs and cats to reptiles and aquatic creatures-since childhood. My experience extends beyond personal care however, I’ve worked and fostered for numerous animal protection organizations, with a focus on special needs animals including those with epilepsy, infections, mobility issues, and terminal illness. Whether it’s administering medication or providing comfort, I’m equipped to handle any scenario with professionalism and kindness.

Dee was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the very beginning, the meet and greet made me feel confident and at ease. She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and flexible throughout the entire booking. I loved all the photos and updates she sent- Milo looked so happy and clearly was being cared for with so much love and attention. Dee handled everything with such professionalism and warmth, and I felt completely at peace knowing my Milo was in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Anyone would be lucky to book with Dee- you won’t regret it!

Dee was wonderful!! She was so sweet and attentive to Henry and sent lots of cute photos updating me on their weekend. It looked like she genuinely had the best time with my pup and it was so comforting to know that he was in such great hands. There was no shortage of walks in the area which I so appreciate!

Safety, trust & environment

In my ground-floor apartment, pet care is enhanced by a fenced-in yard and close proximity to McCarren Park, which offers ample space for exercise and play. With no personal pets aside from the occasional foster pup, the environment is calm and situated in an exceptionally pet-friendly neighborhood. I’m also happy to come to your home for drop-in visits or longer stays to ensure your pet receives the best care possible.

Information Dee D. would like to know about your pet

I have extensive experience working with special needs dogs and am more than happy to care for them. Just let me know any specific conditions, medication schedules, or things to watch out for, along with any temperament concerns around other animals or people. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I'll ensure they receive the attentive care they need.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I make sure they have a blast! I’m quite athletic, so I love taking dogs on long walks or runs in the park, or to a nearby dog park if they prefer. I also have a dog agility course in my backyard area where we can work on both physical and mental stimulation. My office is super dog-friendly, so any dogs I bring in get tons of attention and are spoiled rotten. I tailor activities to each dog's needs, ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and having fun.
