Safety, trust & environment

All pets have different needs and I'm determined to provide yours with the care and attention they deserve. Any instructions or pet-particulars will always be followed to the letter. I enjoy longer walks and hikes, and am comfortable with maintaining standards of discipline for trained dogs.

Information Deirdre H. would like to know about your pet

I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of needs and energy levels as long as I know what to expect before hand. In our pre-care interview I will ask about general demeanor around other people and pets, if they have any dietary particulars I need to be aware of, and if they have any special needs or routines that I can use to make them feel more comfortable with me.

A typical day

Walking and exercise is so important for dogs of all types. I'm happy to explore the local neighborhood with your furry companion but there's also a nice dog park near my own house, and I have a fenced in yard to play off-leash if that's what they prefer.

Happy to befriend pets of all sizes

Pet care experience

Friends and neighbors alike have entrusted their fur-babies to my care for as long as I've been able to drive myself to their homes! I've cared for hyper-active puppies as well as moody older dogs, pocket-sized to house horse, and many shapes, breeds, and temperaments in between. I love taking longer walks (even hikes when able) and am happy to play fetch to help your energetic dog get the enrichment they deserve. I also have experience with reptiles, fish, and some rodents so I am no stranger to a multi-species household and can extend my care and services to almost any creatures you may have.

Dee has been a great dog walker for Rex. She always takes him on nice, long walks. Which he loves! She provides detailed reports with plenty of photos. Very happy with her service!
