RETIRED PROFESSIONAL LOVES DOGS
Pet care experience
Peaceful setting on 1.8 acres partially fenced with a courtyard that is entirely fenced at the end of a dead end road. Entire neighborhood is sparsely populated and all streets are dead end. This is a very safe environment. I have no pets, kids, don't smoke and try to live in as much of a chemical free environment as possible. Property is NOT chemically treated making it safe for all. I will be with your pet almost 24/7 and your pet (s) will be the ONLY pets on my property unless there are extenuating circumstances. There may also be times when a pickup or drop off may coincide. Should that happen I have plenty of places to keep dogs separate, if need be. Professional backround in pharma and briefly owned a holistic pet food store. When your pet stays with me I will cherish them as if they were my own. Your pet will thoroughly enjoy their vacation while your on yours. Many clients have commented no other pet sitter offers what I do; truly a peaceful, safe, large property. Should an emergency arise, there is an emergency clinic one mile from my home. PLEASE NOTE; I'm extremely allergic to GAIN and TIDE detergents. Should you use these products, I will NOT be able to accommodate you or your pet on my property.
Reviews
Deb was great! She loved our pup more than we could have asked for.
Deb did an amazing job boarding our two high-energy Aussies for four days. This was their first time away from home, and they can be a handful. But we needn't have worried. They absolutely LOVED staying with Deb. She cares for dogs as if they are her own family. We can't thank her enough.
Deb took great care of Chevy! She made sure he got the attention and exercise he needed to have a fantastic and happy stay while I was out of town. The photo updates showed just how much fun he was having!
Deb was the greatest, she sent us videos and pictures each day, can't say enough great things. Would definitely use her again for future vacations

Safety, trust & environment
A meet and greet is required for all new potential clients that will stay overnight or through the day. Please keep this appointment as I receive many request for services and preference is given to those on a first come, first served basis. Meet and greet waived for a one day, one time board for out of town owners coming into the area for a visit as long as they are aware of my allergies and comply. My 1.8 acre property is somewhat secluded. Some areas partially fenced, some completely fenced. Property purchased over 23 years ago when I had a VERY active Aussie. Other pets I've owned, two border collie mixes, one dacshund mix, beagle basset hound mix. Illnesses my pets have had; Diabetes, Cushings, Dementia, ACL tears. One of my boarder collie mix rescues lived to 19.5 years!

Information Deb K. would like to know about your pet
Any behavioral or medical issues. It's important for me to know everything about your pet (the good, the bad and the ugly) to make sure I can properly take care of them and there are no surprises. Thank you!
A typical day
Walking on my property or the wooded, sparsely populated dead end street behind my property. Your pet will enjoy balls, playing "tug" or observing wildlife from courtyard area. Lots of wildlife; raccoon, deer, squirrels, opossum...for olfactory,visual and physical stimulation. If your pet obeys commands and can be trusted to stay on my 1.8 acre property they will get HOURS of activity and be physically exhausted upon your return!

Availability
Retired and outside on my large property daily. Your pet will get alot of care, love and exercise at my home. Extremely knowledgeable of disease states and any special needs your pet may need, standard medical model and holistic. I will be home with your pet almost 24/7. Daily videos/updates will be texted or emailed to owners, should they prefer. Should an emergency arise with your pet after hours, there is an emergency vet clinic one mile from my home. The entire concept and the reason I do this, is so you as a pet owner have complete confidence your pet is being extremely well cared for and that your dog enjoys their time with me while you are away enjoying your time "off". I clearly remember the anxiety I felt when I had to travel for business or pleasure and finding a trusted, competent sitter was very difficult. I want to remove this anxiety for you.
