Availability

Since I work part-time, mostly from home, I'm available most days and holidays. I walk every day and enjoy playing with animals, especially dogs, so walking with yours wouldn't be an issue. Special needs animals aren't a problem for me either. Just let me know what they require. I am able to send pictures and texts while you're away.

Information Deb K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to be aware of. Anything in particular they do or don’t like?

A typical day

We’d take walks around our property a couple of times a day (or more) and I wouldn’t mind playing with your dog, especially if they have a favorite toy.

Deb and Ralph did a fantastic job with our two! They really went above and beyond to include putting on our dog’s favorite music to help them through a thunderstorm. Highly recommend!

My dog is always happy & comfortable at Deb & Ralph's home. I know I don't have to worry about him getting lots of love and attention,

10 out of 10 stay! Meadow had a 15-day stay with Deb and Ralph, and it couldn't have gone better. Meadow was treated like one of the family, and she loved it there. She was well taken care of when a minor health issue arose, loved, walked, and played with her during her entire visit. I loved getting the daily updates with photos. Thank you, Deb and Ralph, for loving our girl while we were away. It gave us the peace of mind we needed to truly enjoy our vacation in Yellowstone!!

Deb was wonderful about keeping me posted on our one night overnight test stay for Phineas. He’s very sweet but very anxious and when she told me he ate both of his meals I knew all was right in his world! I immediately booked him for a longer stay. They have a beautiful country setting with lots of room for the dogs to explore.
