Reviews
I had Deidre swing by my place to take my dog out when I wasn't able to. (Late for work, overslept) She was very expedient about getting back to me and did an excellent job. Would DEFF book again.
The best dog sitter! Highly recommend.
Our dogs loved their stay with Deidre! She sent us pictures and kept us up to date every day. We would definitely let our dogs stay with Deidre again!
Deidre has been incredibly reliable! Sends videos and pictures and is an awesome sitter highly recommend.

Information Deidre V. would like to know about your pet

Dietary Needs: What food does the pet eat, how much, and how often? Any allergies or sensitivities? 2. Medical Requirements: Does the pet have any health issues, medications, or special care instructions that need to be adhered to? 3. Behavior and Temperament: What is the pet's personality like? Any quirks, fears, or behaviors that the sitters should be aware of? 4. Routine: What is the pet's typical daily routine, including feeding times, walks (for pets other than cats), playtime. 5. Emergency Contacts: Veterinarian contact information and an emergency backup contact in case the owners cannot be reached. 6. Play and Exercise Preferences: What toys and activities does the pet enjoy most, and are there any restrictions on activities? 7. Handling: How does the pet like to be handled, and are there any spots they do not like to be touched? 8. Safety: Is the pet allowed outdoors, and if so, are there any specific boundaries or precautions? Is the pet microchipped? 9. Equipment and Supplies: Where are the pet supplies stored, including food, treats, toys, leashes, litter, and cleaning supplies? 10. Rules of the House: Are there any house rules for the pet, like no-go zones or furniture regulations?

Availability
Steven and I have crafted a pet care routine that is attuned to the needs of both cats and dogs, ensuring their comfort and care are our top priorities. Our weekend routine is dedicated to drop-in visits. These are especially helpful for pet owners who require someone to look after their furry friends while they're away. During these visits, we provide meals, administer any necessary medications, engage in playtime, and offer companionship. For cats, this includes maintaining their litter, while for dogs, we ensure they get ample exercise and outdoor breaks. Throughout the weekdays, we specifically focus our services on Monday through Wednesday. Our house-sitting services during these days include daytime house sitting that revolve around the pets' usual schedules. We offer the option for overnight services for repeat clients only. We strive to maintain a normal rhythm for the animals, incorporating necessary activities like walks and playtime for dogs, and interactive, stimulating games for cats.
