Obedience Trainer & Weekend Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Debbie. I am a pet lover. I grew up with dogs, cats, mice, parakeets, turtles and the list goes on. I truly love animals. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I am the owner of Your Happy Tails Obedience Training. While I work full time (remotely) during the week, I am free for dog sitting, obedience training, and house sitting. I am also available if you would only like us to work on obedience training one on one I can add that service free of charge. I am certified in canine and equine massage, Pet CPR certified, am able to administer medication, and would love to assist you in pet care. Recently I lost my 12 year old Doberman. This is why you do not see any pets as my own listed here. Please do not let that prevent you from reaching out to me.

Finding Debra was an absolute blessing! She is sweet and kind and very professional. Our family had a small crisis a week prior to our out of town event and Debra went above and beyond to help us and make sure we could still attend. She took such wonderful care of Chloe, and we couldn’t get over how calm and sweet our “little gal” was when we got home. This was our first experience and it was extremely positive. We really hope to see Debra again.

Debbie has been so great with my dog Doodle. She makes homemade dog treats that Doodle loves and she treats my dog like she's part of the family. She always send us pics of our dog enjoying the outdoors and keep us updated while we are away. I never have to worry about Doodle when she's with Debbie. I know she is being well cared for.

Debbie is just wonderful with animals. She had taken care of Samantha for many years while we were away on trips. She went out of her way to make sure she was walked and played with-- brushed and hugged. Sam passed away but will never be forgotten.

We have two high energy, loving dogs and Debbie was great with them! Very patient with them and could handle their jumping and multiple kisses :)

Information Debbie D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their age, breed, and size. What a day in the life of your dog typically looks like ( eating schedule, habits, etc.). What kind of activities your dogs enjoys, if there are any dietary, health, or allergy concerns. If your dog is on any kind of medication or has other behaviors I should know about. I would also like to know if they have separation anxiety and if they have been known to destroy things in the house due to this. I went through this with my own dog and would appreciate the honesty. Also, your dog must be spayed or neutered and up to date on all of their shots.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog If I am pet sitting I like to go for a walk with the dog at least 20 minutes during each visit. This allows both of us to get some fresh air. I'm also happy to call, text, FaceTime, and send pics of your pets to you while you are away. Extra house-sitting services -- Of course. I also clean as well if you would like me to do that.
