Introduction: I am retired from my regular profession, but, I continue to work with my house/pet service only now. It is such a pleasure and privilege to stay in people's homes and take care of their pets. I am friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Please tell me about your pets: their breed, age, daily routine, feeding them, etc. Do they have difficult behaviors such as barking a lot, aggressive with other dogs or people or have separation anxiety? Do they need medication and how is it administered to them? The more information you provide will help me determine if I am a good fit for your needs. I do not usually take care of large dogs unless they are very mellow and do not need a lot of exercise. I will take most dogs on 1 walk per day (20 -30 min.) provided they do not pull or are otherwise unmanageable. Please consider this carefully before sending me a request. The maximum number of animals I will care for at once is 3. I do not take care of birds, chickens, or reptiles. I offer my services exclusively to customers in their own homes which means I stay in your home overnight while you are away. I do not board dogs. Once I have received your request, I will review the information you have provided in it. It is extremely important that you provide the dates you need my service. My calendar is very full at times (especially on major holidays and summertime). Please review my calendar on this site under "Scheduling" to review my availability. Most of my customers request my services weeks in advance due to my limited availability at times. Once I have reviewed the information you have provided in your request, I will confirm if I am available when you need me and if it seems like I would be a good fit for your needs. Once that has been established then we can schedule a meet and greet at which time I will provide a final quote to you based on your requirements for the care of your pets, the number of pets you have and any additional services you would like for the upkeep of your home. My standard daily charge is $60.00, but, it could be slightly more depending on your specific needs. I have a nominal fee of $25.00 for a meet and greet. In addition, I require a deposit equivalent to the agreed upon daily charge. In other words, one day for each week you require my service. For example, $60 for the first week, another $60 for a second week, etc. I accept cash, check or electronic payment via Zelle. Deposits are non-refundable if I do not receive notice of cancellation less then 48 hours of your scheduled start date. Once I have received your deposit your days will be secured in my calendar. Payment is due at the time of service. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Please send me a request if you think I am a good match for your needs. I hope I may be of service to you in the near future.

Deanna did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and cat while house/pet sitting. She made leaving them stress-free which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. She was very communicative while we were gone and responded quickly to questions. I had no worries knowing they were in her care, and I look forward to having her watch our pets again!

It was the first time we had a house/pet sitter and I was understandably nervous. Deanna helped ease our nervousness by meeting us in person first and setting expectations. During our trip she was responsive and sent us updates and photos on our animals. The house and animals looked great when we returned. We would definitely use Deanna again

Deanna has been a great asset to our family. We have hired her two different times for house/dog sitting and she has been amazing. Our dogs get walked everyday and they are so calm when we come return home. Deanna is professional and responds quickly. I am so happy we have someone we can rely on.

I highly recommend Deanna for pet sitting! She is extremely professional asking great questions to prepare for her stay. The dogs became very attached to her, particularly our daughter’s rescue poodle mix, who can be shy with people. She took her on long walks which kept her happy. We were gone during a heat wave and she was very willing to do the extra work required to keep my plants happy. We returned to clean linens and a spotless kitchen. We will definitely use her services again.!
