Safety, trust & environment

I provide dog walking and pet sitting services in your home and neighborhood, so your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. With years of humane society experience, I'm trained to handle dogs of all temperaments calmly and safely.

Information Deirdre L. would like to know about your pet

Please share any special needs, medications, behavioral quirks, or triggers ahead of time so I can provide the best possible care. I welcome all breeds and sizes and will follow your routines and house rules to keep your dog happy and comfortable.

A typical day

We'll explore your neighborhood together and visit nearby parks, letting your dog sniff, play, and burn off energy at their own pace. I believe every dog deserves individual attention, so walks are tailored to your pup's needs and personality.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Deirdre! I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs through paid and volunteer work at the Washington Humane Society and Michigan Humane Society, including time as an Animal Care and Spay Clinic Support Technician. I've loved dogs my whole life and currently share my home with Ruthie, my sweet 9 year old rescued beagle who enjoys meeting other well-behaved dogs. I'm available for dog walking and sitting. Your pup will be in caring, experienced hands — I look forward to meeting them!

I was able to do a really thorough meet and greet with Deirdre and her very adorable puggle Mia. Both pups got along great, and it was nice to know that Dempsey would have 2 friends keeping her company while I was out of town! When I picked up my pup after a 4 night stay, she was happy and didn't even seem like she missed me! Deirdre also let me know that that she saw demps shake her ears several times, which may indicate an ear infection- really appreciated the heads up! Book Deirdre!!

Deirdre is by far the best dog sitter I have ever known. She ran a dog walking/sitting company when she lived in Virginia and she adored all of the companion animals that she looked after. She loves dogs like she would a child. If you get to meet her at the dog park or walking her adorable puggle around the city, you'll get to see it for yourself :)

I've have been friends with Deirdre for over 20 years and she is one of the most responsible people I know. She grew up with dogs and has worked in animal care for two humane societies. She is a wonderful mom to her puggle Mia. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
