I miss a dog in my life.

Pet care experience

I'm coming up on two years of having visiting fur babies in our home. And I love it! Up until about 8 years ago when we lost the last of our 4-legged family members, I've always had a dog. When I retired, I felt the urge to expand our family again. But my husband and I travel too often to have our own; so my daughter suggested Rover. It's been great! I get to bring a variety of visiting dogs into our home and love them while their real family is away. Although I tend to get attached, I love seeing their excitement when their family returns and I usually get to see them excited to see me again at some point. Our home is pet friendly and we have a LARGE yard in a wooded area. While we don't have a fence, we would never leave your dog unattended outside. Please know that when your dogs are in our home, we would always treat them as if they were our own. In other words, treat them like family.

Debbie was so nice and accommodating on such short notice. She took good care of my giant baby and even had room for his crate. Thanks Debbie.

Our dog Precious had a great time at Debbie’s. They were great about sending pictures and communicating throughout the stay. Debbie spoiled our girl and we could not have been happier with our experience.

Debbie and her family are wonderful! They were so quick to fall in love with our pup, and made her feel like she was home. They are extremely accommodating, and are true dog-lovers. We love them and will be using them in the future!

Debbie and her husband did a FANTASTIC job watching my little Kunta. She sent me updates everyday and really treated him like he was a member of the family.
