Pet care experience

Affectionate and timely…

I have skills caring for animals and pet sitting from several years working on farms, as well as three years of experience with Trusted Housesitter. I love animals generally speaking, and have previously cared for dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, pigs, llamas. I feel well equipped to give lots of love, keep on your feeding schedules, get everybody the exercise they need, attend to milking, and to take care of medication’s as needed. I’m glad to work with repeat-care as well as new pets. I work a job with some fluidity for scheduling based on your pet and home needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always caring and affectionate with animals, and ready to help them maintain their routine while you’re away. I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends for morning-depth connection, and can guarantee potty breaks or time outside every 2-4 hours during my working hours. If in your home, I’m glad to grab mail, packages, attend to watering, or other such things as needed. I also have previous experience caring for farms/farm animals, and am glad to discuss such needs.

Deirdre was a dream. She was a great companion to Daisy and left the house in immaculate condition. Daisy was so calm when we returned it seemed that she didn't even miss us.

Deirdra is a great communicator. She's got a calm and cheerful demeanor and our two black labs (mother & son) were very content in her care. Though never intrusive, she kept us abreast of their goings on while we were away for two weeks in Hawaii. She sent photos of their trips to the beach, play time with her mature Aussie shepherd and photos of my garden (since it was in peak Spring bloom). I would heartily recommend her to anyone seeking responsible, communicative, competent care for their pets. She's a delight!

Deirdre really pays attention to the kitties in her care while Their Human is away! She always sends updates with any-everything I need to know. And photos to show what the furry ones are up to while I’m gone. I would recommend her highly and hope to see her again:).

everything was in order when I came back. I'm very happy. Dierdre's dog, Lovey, is sweet and played with my dogs.

Our pup had such a great time! She’s shown some resource guarding and Deirdre handled it like a pro!

Schedule

Generally, my schedule has flexibility, and I love getting out for walks and movement frequently in the day! My friendly aussi shepherd may join in walks. If your pup is accustomed to one of the area off-leash spots, I’m glad to discuss the notion of taking them there.

I'd like to know if the pooch has bladder/bowel control. I most enjoy walking dogs that don't require a muzzle, and am uncomfortable using chain collars. I'd also want to know where your dog is with voice command, and what to expect in their behavior when I initially arrive at your house. Does your dog like the water/is it safe to take them places to potentially swim.
