Pet care experience

Retired, dog lover, home full time

I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have three Scottish Terriers. They adore people and other dogs. I currently puppy sit weekly and do drop in visits to let puppies out of their cages to go potty during the day. I have never met a dog I didn’t like. I tend to spoil them, but they all seem happy to come over. I love it when they pull their owners by their leash to come inside. They know I have cookies and cuddles. But, they are happy to go home too. I keep their owners updated daily when the pups stay during long trips. My husband is here too. Both of us are retired. He is my backup in case I might need help.

My dog came home with the worst diarrhea ever, cost me a big vet bill, plus destroyed my carpet, according to vet my dog was fed fatty food, or got hold of a dead animal or ate something poisons, She told me my dog maybe got hold of something in her back yard! My dog got a case of pancreatitis from her home.

This is the second time I had Debbie and Charlie watch Phoebe and she came home so tired from playing with their dogs. Thanks for taking great care of her!

Debbie was just wonderful with our puppy. Toby was well taken care of and seemed very happy in the daily pics Debbie shared with me. I knew he was in good hands and never had to worry about him while we were gone. The fenced in yard was just an added bonus! Highly recommended. Thank you Debbie and Charlie!

Debbie did a great job with our Sheltie Liam. They have a clean, comfortable home with a nice fenced in backyard. Their two Scotties are very friendly towards other dogs. Highly recommended.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a special fenced in area outside the back yard doors. There are five steps to the yard. If a pup can’t make it we carry them down. We always watch our guests when they are outside.

Pets

A typical day

We go for walks on our cul de sac. We have a lot of toys to play with here. In the summer we have a baby pool for pups that like to paddle around.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Debbie can host up to 1 pet per night
NO Dogs that are NOT potty trained. All pets need to be house trained fully. If not additional fees will be necessary. No dogs with sensitive digestion and on special diets. In my experience it’s very hard to keep them away from stealing food from other pups and possibly getting ill. I prefer no dogs under one year old. I cannot take a dog that is Skiddish, tempted to run off, temperamental, anxious, or afraid of other dogs. If a face to face meeting prior to a visit is needed to see how your dog does here I am open to them.
