Experienced animal lover
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker and trainer (volunteer at local dog shelter) and currently I have one medium size (75lb) Pit mix and 3 cats. I have raised a Shepard mix and a Beagle as well as 8 cats beyond the 3 I have now. I personally trained my Pit mix, Riley who walks off leash everywhere (if allowed)! I love taking Riley on long walks and hiking through the woods. He enjoys fetch and tug of war loves to run around our fenced in backyard chasing the squirrels. Would love to watch your pets in your home and take them for long walks around the neighborhood or forest bathing if time permits. Experienced cat person who will happily snuggle and play with your tabby.
Reviews
Debbie has a gift for interacting with dogs. The first time she met our dog (Loki) she connected with him right away. She was loving and firm so he quickly went to her for affection and also listened to her when she gave him direction. In fact Loki is a puppy and we are still learning to work with him and Debbie shared some helpful suggestions. Debbie is extremely reliable and trustworthy!! I HIGHLY recommend her!
Debbie has walked and cared for my dogs Louie and Charlie for seven years. Louie, a medium sized Italian Water dog is skittish with most people and with Debbie he is calm and playful and listens attentively. Both Louie and Charlie, a Cavapoo, are excited when Debbie comes to walk them as Debbie is kind, patient, and sees each dog for the unique animal that they are. Debbie is able to command respect from my dogs and keep them safe as she is highly skilled and at the same time she puts my dogs at ease and they enjoy walking and being with Debbie. Animals respond well to people like Debbie who deeply care about them and find the special traits in them. Debbie even knows the special snacks my dogs like and she makes sure to bring them when she knows she will see them. Debbie is truly a dog whisperer and if you care about your dog and need any assistance, with safety and fun as a priority, you could not be in any better hands than Debbie's!
Debbie is an excellent dog sitter and I have trusted her to watch my dogs, Kobe and Fire for years. She sends updates often and always ensures we're in the loop when we can't be there ourselves. As my dogs have gotten older she has adjusted to what they needed including more frequent check ins/walks and even giving them their medication when we were out for the day. I could not recommend her enough!
Debbie is an amazing dog walker who I have used for my dogs Milo and Lola many times. They’re both small 5 pound dogs and I trust her completely. She walks them and plays with them when I can’t . I’ve even seen them interact with her before their walks and they seem so excited to see her. I’m so lucky to have her close by! Don’t bother looking at anyone else she’s the best!

I have a fenced in yard and a dog run on the side that allows my dog to run free outside and I also let the cats out but supervised as I have one who is an escape artist! she has to be in a harness and on a long leash. the other 2 are free to room the backyard at will.
Information Debbie M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet requires anything special...food, specific place to walk or route, toys to play. Also important to know if your pet has any dislikes - like no touch points or petting, easily scared, good or bad with other dogs or people on walk?
