Pet care experience
I have taken care of and had family dogs for over 20 years. I worked as a professional pet sitter through a few companies in the past 10 years and during that time experienced walking all sizes of dogs with different temperaments from young to seniors. I’m addition, I cared for both cats and dogs during drip in visits, even having to medicate both cats and dogs. I make sure to spend quality time with the pets doing whatever it is to make them happy and cared for during the visit. Over the years I have had dogs that had mobility issues, were blind, and some that were on the shy side. I am the proud pet parent of 3 senior kitties and 2 young dogs, all rescues. I currently have a dog with epilepsy so I have had to learn to to take care of his seizures and have to make sure he gets his medicine on a regular basis. I have had cats all my life from kittens to senior age. I have to medicate one of my current cats on a regular basis and have in the past cared for cats that were in kidney failure. I also have fostered, dogs, puppies, and kittens over the years. I am currently volunteering for a rescue that pulls dogs from the shelter and takes care of them until they journey up north to their forever homes. I have been taking my current young dogs for training, agility, and nose work because I just enjoy doing things with my dogs and like to learn as much as I can to give them a fulfilling and happy life. In addition they get regular walks in our neighborhood and different trails to expand their outdoor experiences.

Great sitter, highly recommend. Always takes good care of the boys, even the cats who aren't included in the request.
Thank you for all the updates and taking care of the pups! Would highly recommend and will be using Debbie again in the future!

Information Debbie J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how your dog walks on a leash. If your dog needs a safe distance from other dogs while on walks. Is your dog reactive if they see other dogs? I want to make sure to set up the dog to have a fun, relaxed visit.
A typical day
I like to get dogs outside, especially if your yard has a fence. If not, I like to walk them where their owner prefers or explore paths that provide lots of new and fun sniffing for your dog. I will play with whatever toy your dog wants and make sure they receive lots of cuddle time before I leave.
