Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life and also fostered 11 dogs thru Good Shepherds Rescue. (if I could have, would have adopted all 11) Currently I have no pets, I have just retired from my job of 25 years, and all of my kids are grown, so I am available to give 100% of my attention to your furbaby(s) 😊

Lindy Lou loved Debbie's visit. She brought a puzzle for her. And she gave lots of treats. She sent photos of Lindy while we were gone. And our house was exactly the way we left it.

Debbie is excellent with Chloe. Chloe warms up to her right away, and that is almost impossible. I highly recommend Debbie!

Debbie was exceptional!! Chloe warmed up to her very fast, which made me very relieved. I will definitely use her again

Debbie is fantastic with my dog, Ribsy. I think he likes her better than me. She is very attentive to him. She brushed a sweater's worth of fur off of him. She made changes in his diet when he wasn't feeling well. She kept me up to date with frequent photos and videos. She is a wonderful person and I highly recommend her for your pet.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
