Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of affection and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.

Information Deirdra K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know about any fears, anxieties, behavioral quirks, or triggers, how they interact with other people and animals, and any house rules you’d like me to follow. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and providing care that’s personalized to their needs.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level. We might go on walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, explore new sniffing routes, work on simple tricks with positive reinforcement, or enjoy interactive toys and games. For cats, I love using wand toys, laser pointers, and providing plenty of attention and enrichment. If your pet is more laid-back or a senior, I’m just as happy to spend time cuddling, giving belly rubs, brushing them, or simply keeping them company.

Our family has known Deirdra since she was a little girl. Her and her family have always had pets to love and care for and that is why when we needed pet care for our 2 cats while we went on vacations, we asked if Deirdra would like the opportunity and she jumped at the chance. She has cared for our cats many times and we highly recommend her to care for your pets. She's caring, kind, reliable, trustworthy and has a true love for animals!

Deirdra has cared for our dogs (Vizsla, Pittie Mix and Mini Dachshund) and cats for years. We have recommended her to friends and family (Yorkie, Golden Retriever, Old English Sheepadoodle, several cats) and always received positive feedback. She is punctual, reliable and is great with the pups in particular!
