Pet care experience

I had a bulldog and two birds. I've also owned fish prior to the birds and dog. My mom and daughter care for 5 cats, so you can say, I'm no stranger to animals. As of right now, this is my full time job. I was the editor-in-chief for two parenting sites (working remotely) until the company decided to close both sites down. Our pets are our family, and they deserve care when their caretakers aren't around. This is where I come in!

Information Deb G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or if it bites/is aggressive. Is it friendly with children (my children may come on a walk or drop in if they are not able to stay home). Does it tend to pull a lot on walks? Does your dog have needs it is accustomed to such as getting a treat after its walk? Is your pet trained and obeys certain commands that you would like me to implement, so that your pup's training is consistent with anyone who cares for it.

A typical day

“Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I'm scared of you, but all I really want is to hold you tight, treat you right.” Yep, that's Britney Spears but it does sound like a great song a dog (or cat) would sing to its caretaker. I'm affectionate with pets. I believe they are unconditionally loving beings. Who else listens to your problems without judging? Am I right? Who else is super excited to see you when you get home? Pets are the best! We'll have a good time, no matter what!

I have some weekends available, not always. Some walk times are booked by reoccurring walks, however, if you are flexible, I can get you in closest to the hour you are asking for. Cat care is welcomed! Please choose “drop in” option. Drop ins do not include a full walk. I can let doggo out in the backyard or for a short walk. Drop ins also include feeding and TLC. For dog sitting, I may be available some weekends. If you are going away for an extended time period and need dog sitting, I can come morning, noon, and night during the weekdays, as I have other dogs I walk during the day. Overnight stays aren’t always an option (I’m a single mom of three). Please be aware that if it raining too much or freezing outside, your dog's walk MAY be shortened. It's unfair to have your pup shivering or getting drenched for a whole 30 minutes after it has peed and/or pooped. I can absolutely stay inside for some play time or belly rubs and relaxing massages to make up for the shorten walk. I’ve been a full-time professional dog walker for over two years. I'm a single (divorced) mom of three wonderful girls. Caring for another comes naturally (and through experience) to me, whether human or animal. What current and previous pet owners appreciate about me is that I go above and beyond.
