Deanna was born and raised in Vineland, NJ. She had many pets growing up- dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, turtles, snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, and more. She was always trying to catch wild animals and was sometimes successful! As a teen she began caring for the pets of friends and family. In 2012 she moved to Fort Lauderdale where she spent time volunteering at an alligator sanctuary. She has always worked with rescues, helping relocate and rehome pets. After spending many years working and supervising in pet resorts, doggie daycares and sitting for Rover, she decided to branch out on her own. Kind Care was born! Deanna loves spending time with her family in her free time and staying active outdoors and in her community.

Aaron was also born and raised in Vineland, NJ. His passion for animals began at a very young age. He had dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, scorpions, fish, and even a Savannah monitor. He moved to West Palm Beach in 2013, reunited with Deanna, and the rest was history. Aaron is a local service technician, but he spends much of his time with Deanna caring for animals- whether it be their own, their clients, or local abandoned animals needing placement. After adopting their rescues, Erma in 2013 and Josie in 2014, they learned quickly how to live and deal with aggression and anxiety in dogs. Aaron enjoys caring for both animals and people, which makes him an amazing and compassionate caretaker for our Kind Care clients. They also have a two-year-old daughter named Daria, a baby boy named Dean, and a Pacman frog named Sen!
