About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)

About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!

About: I am starting a new chapter in life and now choosing to care for and love on your pets in your home! They have the truest hearts! At the present I am completely open regarding my schedule while I start a new chapter in life. I’m currently striving to start my own business and create my own schedule. I am available for pet sitting in your home as well as potty breaks, playtime, and walks. I am very detail oriented so please know your pets will be cared for in the exact manner in which you wish! Your animals will be loved and cared for just as you would.

About: I put 30+ years of pet care experience on here but it’s really more like 45. I’ve been taking care of our family pets since I was 8 years old. I always took care of family and friend’s pets, stayed at their homes when they needed me to watch them or just played with their fur babies so they wouldn’t be alone during the day. I feel a very kindred connection towards dogs and cats (& other animals) and give them as much love and happiness as I can. I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher, so I have a lot of availability on the weekends and during the day, especially during the summer and spring break. Additionally, I create a schedule so I can work around yours and mine. I have a fenced in yard, but walk my dog daily on a leash when I take him out. He is showered in love and is very well behaved.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.

“My Labrador, Martha, adores Eddie. He’s been helping me with dog walking after I fractured my ankle. Eddie is great with communication and a cheerful, pleasant young man. I am very grateful for his help. I plan to continue the service after my ankle heals because seeing Eddie makes Martha so happy!”

About: I’ve loved and lived with pets my whole life! I currently work at a shelter and have lots of experience caring for all animals. I love providing our fur friends with an enriched and fulfilled life. I am available all week! I Have a very flexible schedule that makes it perfect for drop-ins, walks, or play date:) I can be available for overnights as well!

I have experience with all animals and will abide by the owners rules/desires! I will love and care for each animal is if they were my own

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.

About: I am primarily focused on getting more dog handling experience. I have volunteered at a shelter for 4 years and I have dog training experience as well. I eventually would like to train dogs as a career. I have an empty home with lots of love to give! Happy pets=peace of mind I typically work 4 days out of the week which means I have at least three days available to spend with your furry friends! I typically don’t have anything to do on my off days and I’d love to dedicate my time to your furry companion so they’re never short of love because love is what they deserve!! I currently live in a first floor apartment in the middle of the woods with scenic trails. Which means plenty of sniffs for your furry friends! I am very accommodating to your dogs needs whether that be administering medication, a soothing bath (free of charge), or sleeping with a certain toy/blanket.

About: I have had two Great Danes, an Anatolian Shepard mix, a great Pyrenees mix, and I currently own a pit bull. So truly no dog is too big or too small. Our furry friends are like our family and I would like to treat your like my own while you are away. I work from home so I am very flexible with my work schedule. I will work with you to make sure that your pet is getting the care they need throughout the day. I do have a fenced in yard but due to the breed of dog I personally own in home care in my own home will not be available. I am more than willing to travel to you and take care of your pets in your own home.

I take care of pets all day long on an off and I have 6 of my own dogs to take care of myself on a daily basis I feed my dogs all day on an off , I take them outside , clean up their poop , clean up their cat boxes

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 9 and have watched my neighbors and other family dogs ever since, I spend lots of time with the dogs while still working my own job. I love getting to know the dogs! I currently work a part time jobs but will be able to manage my job with playing with your pets and spending time with them while you're away! I care for clients pets by allowing for them to have time to run around, swim (if they like water), and by taking them on nice adventure walks! I also give the pets lots of attention when I'm there!
