Deena is always my first choice when I need a care-taker for my dog. She is an unbelievably hard working, responsible, and caring individual. Over the past few years, everytime I have gone out of town, she has taken care of my 3 dogs (two golden retrievers and one extremely energetic black lab -- the lab is only 2 years old). The dogs are large, love to run and play with one another, and can be a real handful, but Deena has been able to manage them successfully. I feel completely safe and comfortable having Deena take care of my dogs, as I know they receive the best care in her hands. Deena has always been on time and clearly loves working with animals; she even used to volunteer at a local animal shelter when she was a teenager. I have had other people care for my dogs before, and Deena is the one I would recommend above them all.
