Information Debbie J. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Retired, dog lover, home full time

Pet care experience

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!
