Highlights
Pet care experience
Treating your pet with love!
Former teacher/school counselor who excels at attention to detail, reliability, kindness, and calmness. Your pet(s) will be very well looked after and every instruction will be followed. I am fortunate to have been able to retire early, so I have lots of energy and availability. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was a little girl. I have been sharing my passion for pets by walking and socializing all kinds of dogs (previously at the SPCA near my former home and currently at the Hamilton Shelter). Rest easy… I have completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid training. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
I am able to do drop-in visits only (my own family and dog have special needs). You know your pet, their needs, and what makes them wag or purr, and I am happy to continue your routines.
Ratings and reviews
Debbie is absolutely the best! Everything from the pictures to her cute wording to go with them was so nice and something we looked forward to every day when we received our visit updates. I think the pugs missed her, as they seemed to be looking for and expecting her when it was around the visit time even though we were home! Thank You again for the great job you did yet again in caring for our kids while we are away. It makes it some much easier and less guilty when we leave them in you care when we go away.
Debbie has been an amazing walker for my dogs! I have two labs and one could be tough to handle so she has been working with him on walks which has been great. She is a great communicator and very trustworthy. I would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable walker!
Debbie was a wonderful sitter for Benny! She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and arrived on time.
Debbie was the greatest from the moment she showed up for a meet and greet before we went away. An amazing job! Very detailed reports with pictures that showed she takes care of your pets along with taking the time to sit down and play with them. It was a heartfelt joy to see that Bruno (who can be standoffish sometimes) took to her immediately and was up in her lap sucking up! This was our first time using Rover and cannot boast enough about how lucky we were to have Debbie as the sitter! Thank You Again!!
Just did our first meeting and walk with Debbie! She was amazing, knowledgeable, and patient with my pups. She gave me great updates on their walk. Highly recommend!
I have been friends with Debbie for almost 30 years and she is someone who exudes warmth, responsibility, and genuine care in everything she does. While she hasn’t personally cared for my pets, I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and compassionate she is with animals (her own and others), as well as people. Her calm, nurturing presence makes her a perfect candidate for Rover.com. In addition to our personal relationship, I spent several years working with her at the same school and her professionalism makes her someone you can trust without hesitation. Debbie goes the extra mile to ensure everyone feels valued and safe, which makes her not just a great caregiver, but an all-around awesome person.
