Pet care experience

About this sitter: I offer outstanding, personalized care for your furry family members. I truly have the animals' best interests at heart. I cater to the needs of small adult & senior dogs under 20 lbs., as their size and needs are better matched to my home. Since my dog goes everywhere with me, I do not provide care for cats, as that would not make the canines or felines very happy. As part of my commitment to animal well being and dog safety, I request the dogs I care for are not dog-aggressive and are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea/worm preventative, and most importantly have a recent fecal exam. A fecal sample is really the only way to know if parasites are present (which are contagious to humans and other dogs). A fecal exam is fairly inexpensive, non-invasive, and can be safely done without regards to age or any underlying conditions. Any vet can analyze a sample brought to or taken at their office, or there are even mail-in kits where a collected sample can be sent to lab for diagnosis. There's more about preventative care in the section titled "What I'd like to know about your dog". Your dog(s) will receive the same special, caring attention that I give my sweet dog, who is very sweet, calm, loving, and gets along well with other small dogs. Your dog would benefit from human and canine companionship. I gladly offer complimentary meet and greets to ensure that all parties are happy with the arrangement. I have cared for the following breeds: Bichon Frise, Border Terrier, Chihuahua, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cockapoo, Coton de Tulear, Dachshund, Golden Retriever, Italian Greyhound, Jack Russell Terrier, Lhasa Apso, Maltese, Maltipom, Miniature Pinscher, Miniature Schnauzer, Morkie, Papillon, Pomeranian, Poodle, Rat Terrier, Shih Tzu, West Highland Terrier "Westie", Wheaten Terrier, Whippet, Whoodle, and Yorkshire Terrier "Yorkie". Your dog would enjoy the number and length of daily walks that we agree to and your pup normally gets, exercise, play, and plenty of loving attention. I'm flexible and willing to stay overnight or visit multiple times a day to provide care, walks, play, feeding, and any other needs. Notably, since this is my focus, I'm extremely flexible regarding scheduling arrival and departure times that coordinate with your schedule. I ensure that each canine benefits from amazing attention. Since I pride myself on providing very personalized care and 1-on-1 attention, please understand for that reason I no longer book months in advance. I will gladly note any tentative dates in my master calendar, that can be booked on the system during the month service is needed. I have a digital camera, laptop, and Skype, so I can send you regular updates with photos or coordinate real-time interaction with your furry family member, depending on your schedule. This way, you can be completely comfortable while I am caring for your furry friend. Every client of mine has been a repeat client and enthusiastically referred me to others. Many clients have repeatedly and regularly given me access to their homes while they are away to care for their fur-kids. We agree in advance exactly what care is needed: if they prefer me to stay with their dogs or visit, the approximate times of routine, number of walks, and the length of each walk per day, feeding/treat times and amounts, medication administration, grooming (brushing, pawdicure, etc.), and other home services (mail, trash, etc.) The fur-kids get quality time in their own home and neighborhood. Most often, my visits average an hour. Extended visits are sometimes available. I also send photos of their furry loved ones to enjoy and provide activity updates. Here are a few recent testimonials: If the top rating is a 10, Deb is a 20. She offers so much kind, loving care to my two bichons. For the first time ever I can leave my dogs and have absolutely superior care. Also in addition, she has a darling Jack Russell, who is calm and loving. They are a very winning combination for the most professional, loving, responsible dog care that a person could want. When we are going to Deb's for either an overnight, being gone a week, or just a play date with her darling Louis.....my Pearl and Ruby are so excited they can hardly contain themselves. I can tell by the way my dogs behave when I am walking out the door and leaving them behind.....they are just fine with the situation. Deb also sends pictures with narrative during the time that I am gone. Thank you God for this very loving lady! – Linda G. I left my little shih-tzu with the owner Deb in March for five days while I went on my cruise. He was taken care of very well! Deb sent me pictures to show how happy he was. She was precise in taking down his personal information and dietary requests. I could tell when I picked up my dog that he had received a lot of TLC. I recommend Paws Amore for your dog too! Sincerely, Denise Deb is truly amazing. We have boarded our dog a number of times with other boarders either in home or large facility, we have never felt like we were leaving our dog in good hands until now. Deb took such good care of our dog, Shay, on the two trips we have been on, we won't leave our dog with anyone else! She gets to go on numerous walks throughout the day. Gets personal love and attention, likes playing with Deb’s dog Louie, and is genuinely excited when we drive up to Deb’s home! The only downside may be our dog misses Deb when we pick her up to take her home ;) We can wholeheartedly recommend Deb to watch your dog! Graham W. Deb is a very caring dog lover and personal pal for my dog. Paisley can't wait to see her and her dog Louie each time we meet. If you are looking for super love and care for your pet, look no further! Paws Amore is clean, smells great and is in a lovely area for walks and great nature too. My pup loves the many walks she gets and all the super personal attention. I'm so happy to have found Paws Amore. Thank you Deb for all you do! Chloe K. Meet my pets 1 dog About my yard Fenced and gated community with extended walking path and grass, with lush landscaping. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and safe and provides additional places for extended walks. My experience administering medication Yes. I have experience administering oral medications. I provide very personalized pet care, as it is my full time focus. Generally, the dogs in my care get spoiled by 24 x 7 attention from my small dog and I. In interest to protect canine safety, All walks are actively led with maximum 6 feet fixed length leashes, with harness, collar with ID tags. I do not expose dogs to higher risk activities such as dog parks or being off leash outside the home. As part of my commitment to animal well being and dog safety, I request the dogs who benefit from care from both my small dog & I: are not dog-aggressive and are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, flea/worm preventative, and most importantly have a recent fecal exam. A fecal sample is really the only way to know if parasites are present (which are contagious to humans and other dogs). A fecal exam is fairly inexpensive, non-invasive, and can be safely done without regards to age or any underlying conditions.

Another testament yet to my belief that Deb is the best sitter ever! Pepper developed a urinary tract infection prior to my business trip, so when I dropped him off with Deb for a short stay, I had to leave Deb with some instructions for administering meds and monitoring. Deb was extra-vigilant and super-thorough with her care of Pepper, that when we finally picked him up, it was as if he was never sick at all! Deb did such a great job with taking care of Pepper, we really feel so lucky to have found her! Thanks so much, Deb.

Pepper's best vacation away from home was with his Aunt Deb! Deb took care of Pepper boy like he was her own: you could tell, because Pepper didn't really want to come home with us anymore when we finally came to pick him up! He was sorry to leave Aunt Deb and his friend Louie behind...he even sulked for a couple of days after being home, as if he was missing them! This is how I know that I found the perfect sitter for Pepper. See you soon, Deb, and thanks so much again!

Outstanding sitter. I highly recommend Deb if you want personalized care for your pet. She is very reliable, flexible and caring. She also takes the dogs out for several 3+ walks a day and she is very loving to all the pets who stay with her. 5 stars for Deb

Information Deb A. would like to know about your pet

Before agreeing to care for a dog, I need to know that he or she is not dog-aggressive and is up to date on vaccinations, exams (including fecal/stool sample) , and flea control. My dog is always kept up to date with Rabies, DHP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus), & Bortadella vaccines, Fecal and Heartworm tests for parasites, and Flea and Worm prevention treatment. So, I like to ensure the canines we spend time with have the same level of care from their vet to prevent contagious illnesses. Dogs we care for need to be house trained and spayed/neutered. Friendly small dogs under 20 pounds are best matched to us.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: Inside my fenced and gated community, which has an extended walking path and grass, or the surrounding neighborhood, which is quiet and safe, with sidewalks, grassy areas, and beautiful landscaping. If acceptable to the owner, the dog may be enjoy a trip to Newport Beach, such as Fashion Island or the landscaped sidewalks overlooking Corona Del Mar beach or Balboa. All walks are taken on leash, actively protecting your dog from the outside elements, never roaming unsupervised. Therefore, I cannot accommodate leash-reactive or any dog-aggressive dogs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Anywhere the dog wants, unless the owner requests something different. Your dog may sleep in the bedroom, nearby in the living room area, or on tile floor in kitchen. Dogs rule at Paws Amore (Love). Time I'll spend with your dog Unlimited * Due to changes made at Rover.com, after 9/1/2016, I only book house sitting and boarding services on Rover. Of course, all dogs booked for either house sitting or boarding will still receive plenty of walks, etc. and boarding rates/house sitting rates can be adjusted to fit the number of hours needed.
