Pet care experience

Life long dog lover

My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love!

I highly recommend Deidra and I plan to use her again. She watched my dog in her home while I was away for a week. She and her husband provided a safe and loving environment for my dog. They have a fully fenced in yard and a comfortable clean home. They are true dog lovers at heart.

I can’t recommend Deidra enough! She’s one of the most kind, loving, and patient people I know—especially when it comes to animals. She’s raised a couple of dogs on her own and treats them like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with her, and I’d trust her completely with my own!

We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met Deidra, we knew our babies were in great hands. She was warm, responsible, and clearly have a natural connection with animals. While we were away, Deidra sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was not just being looked after, but genuinely loved and engaged. When we returned, our dog was calm, happy, and clearly had a great time—maybe even a little disappointed we were back so soon! Our home was spotless, and everything was exactly as we left it. We can’t recommend Deidra highly enough. Trustworthy, professional, and an absolute gem—we’ll definitely be booking them again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.
