Dog Walking Saint Joe

About: I may not have formal pet sitting experience, but I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I’ve lived with a sheepdog and two golden retrievers, and I’m comfortable feeding, playing with, and spending time with pets of different sizes and personalities. I also have a soft spot for animals and often help stray cats and dogs when I can. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I will always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s check-ins, walks, or spending quality time together, I’ll make sure your pet is well cared for and never feels alone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and needs, and I carefully follow all instructions provided. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

“Alexis did a great job with Sophie. Sophie liked her when she first walked in the door, which is always a great sign because dogs have great instincts in people thanks, Alexis, see you Wednesday!”

About: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my kennel set up or bring your own crate. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed.

This often includes filling her food, water, and changing her litter box, as well as many pets and cuddles. I would love to walk, play with, and take care of your pets. At home, I make sure my cat has a clean litter box and plenty of attention.
