Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With a fully remote job, I’m home all day to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. My own dogs have set meal times, potty breaks, and play sessions, which makes it easy to incorporate other pets into our schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or medication administration, I make sure every pet gets the individualized care they need.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of snuggles, and a routine that includes regular meals, potty breaks, and exercise. My own dogs are friendly and playful, but I can also accommodate dogs who prefer their own space. Crate-trained dogs are welcome to bring their crate for a familiar, comfortable sleeping arrangement. Please note that my bedroom is on the second floor so if your furry buddy likes to have overnight cuddles, the use of stairs or being properly carried is required. For in-home pet care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking to their usual schedule or giving extra cuddles while their family is away. For sitting I will not provide overnight care, but will ensure a late night and early morning potty break.

Information Deanna S. would like to know about your pet

Before watching a pet, I like to know: • Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any special habits. • Medical Needs: Medications, allergies, past health concerns. • Behavior & Temperament: How they interact with people, other pets, and any fears or triggers. • Activity Level & Favorite Things: Do they love fetch, tug, stroller rides, or just lounging? • Training & Commands: Any words or signals they respond to, crate training, or house rules. • Emergency Contacts: Vet info and any backup contacts if needed. For boarding, daycare, or recurring visits, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/Lf46rgUWnYtkn4Se6 This helps me give them the best care possible while keeping their routine familiar and stress-free!

A typical day

I work remotely, so I’m always home for cuddles, playtime, and plenty of potty breaks! I make sure pets stick to their specific meal times and administer any necessary medications. For fun, we’ll play with toys, enjoy enrichment activities like treat puzzles, and, if they’re up for it, go on walks or stroller rides. Of course, there’s always time for belly rubs, ear scratches, and snuggles on the couch! I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.

Cat care experience

As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of keeping a cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. I have two cats at home and have experience caring for multiple cats during drop-in visits, including administering medications, preparing special meals, and ensuring everyone eats the right food. I’m also familiar with automatic litter boxes and keeping them clean for a fresh environment. Whether your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet presence, I tailor my care to their needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Deanna was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly attentive to our pets while we were away, and her regular updates gave us so much peace of mind. She even went the extra mile by helping out with little things around the house, like bringing in our packages and taking care of the trash. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again!

Deanna did a wonderful job with the drop in visits with Rumble while I was in Colorado attending my son's wedding. I appreciate the pictures/videos - thanks again!

We have booked with Deanna previously and will be again in the future. Our cats have really warmed up to her and love her visits. It is nice knowing your fur babies are taken care of while you are away.
