Hypo-Allergenic Dog Momma
Pet care experience
I've had poodles most my life and am such an animal lover that I have rescued dogs, squirrels, chipmunks, birds and seals (volunteering with Seal Sitters). I do have allergies to large shedding dogs and all cats. Hypo-allergenic dogs (ideally for allergies - poodles, poodle mixes or similar) are welcome. If you have a cat, I can not visit your house to walk your dog.
Reviews
Debbi and her family do such a great job taking care of Coach. He comes home exhausted after a week of play and love at her house. She is great about sending daily updates along with pics and is very responsive when there is a question. Debbi is our go to person whenever we travel.
Zoey absolutely loves spending time with Debbi and her family. They all treat her so warmly. We receive daily photos, reports on her well being, and videos. We feel great comfort knowing she is being treated so well. They are definitely her second family!
Debbi was great with Pepper! (Thank you Debbi!). I was initially really worried about leaving Pepper as we haven't left her with anyone for years and she isn't very sociable with other dogs. However, Debbie sent me loads of photos which put my mind at rest and gave me regular updates about how Pepper was getting on. It made our weekend away stress free! Would recommend Debbi 100% and hope that we'll be able to use her services again!
Peach had such an amazing weekend with Debbi and her family. Peach came home tired and happy. Debbi actively communicated and sent pictures all weekend. She has created a wonderful environment for dogs to have fun while their humans are away.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a clean and dog friendly home with a lovely fenced back yard. Our dog, Teddy, is a very friendly and well mannered toy poodle. We have lots of options in ways to separate dogs (yard dividers and pocket doors) if need be while still giving tons of attention to each dog. I am open to having 2 dogs (besides mine) at a time but if you prefer me just board your dog with mine and no other dogs, let me know. If a dog is aggressive towards other dogs, I am still open to hosting it but do not want to pair it with any other dogs. I also am available to have additional dogs when my well behaved regulars request boarding even if it means more than 2 dogs. This is only for the very well behaved (non-alpha) dogs that I host often - lol.

Information Debbi C. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs but due to my allergies can only care for hypo-allergenic or similar dog breeds especially if I am boarding. Surprisingly, I am not a allergic to Pomeranians or Japanese Spitz for example (even though they aren't listed as hypo-allergenic). However, I am very allergic to Labradors, German Shephards, and Golden Retrievers (if not mixed with poodle). If I am only walking, my allergies can handle a larger variety of dog breeds.
A typical day
We love to play fetch in the back yard, squeaky toys in house, walk around the neighborhood (length depending on dog), rub belly and snuggle. For night time, your dog can sleep in it's crate, on it's mat, or possibly in our bed. Whichever works best for your dog. If you do not want your dog on the bed, I will not let it on the bed. I find some dogs really have a hard time going from their owners bed to a crate and we love snuggling so we are open to letting the dog sleep with us :).

Availability
For walking: I am available between 9:30am - 3:00pm and 7:00pm - 8:30pm weekdays. (If you have a cat, I can not visit your house) For Daycare: I'm available between 9:30am - 2:30pm for the rate I have listed. If you need hours outside of that, we can discuss availability and rate for extended hours. For boarding: Anytime weekdays and weekends. It is mostly just me and Teddy in the house weekdays but the whole family (with husband and 6 yr old son) evenings and weekends. So any boarded dogs need to be kid friendly. Our son loves animals and is very good with them.
