Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter

I have worked with shelter dogs for about six years and I have had quite a bit of training on dog behavior, handling, and socializing. My past shelter job required me to become SAFER certified in order to do behavior assessments on dogs coming in. I have worked with hundreds of dogs with a wide variety of behavior issues. As the dog care lead for my last shelter I oversaw the care of up to 120 dogs at a time. Part of the dogs care included medicating, I am familiar with many common health issues and medications and am comfortable administering all forms of medications. I have one small dog of my own, a neutered male that likes other dogs. Right now I am only looking for like sized dogs male or female (20 pounds and under) or very calm bigger dogs to babysit. I live on a small dahlia farm - about two acres, unfenced. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in bed but you can provide their bedding if you think they’d prefer it. While our house is being built we live in a 2 bedroom “mother in law”. It is small so not ideal for active bigger dogs right now. I only sit one dog at a time, unless the dogs come from the same household or they are known friends and okayed by both families.

I would leave more than 5 stars if that was an option - when we left our dog with Dee Dee, she had a calm presence and was clearly so warm and welcoming that our dog warmed up quickly. Lots of notes and pictures as well. I would rebook without hesitation! Thank you, Dee Dee!

Deidre is the best! She took care of our two very energetic dogs for four days and it went great! Deidre is an excellent communicator and a wonderful dog whisperer. We’ll definitely be asking for her to care for the dogs again.

Deidre was amazing! She was very flexible when my days and times of the trip changed. She sent pictures and videos during my dogs stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in great care! I will definetely use Deidre again.

Schedule

I have a small dahlia farm so I work from home! I have free range chickens and one senior dog. My typical day revolves around taking care of the animals and flowers.

Pets

A typical day

If it’s not rainy I usually take the dogs to the beach or state park for walks. The street I live on has very light traffic which is really nice to walk on. I have tons of dog toys for them to play with inside if it’s rainy out and I find that bully sticks are a great way to keep them busy when we can’t go out.
