Availability

Expecting to give undivided pampered attention to one dog at a time. I’m an active retired lady doc who loves dogs and the outdoors. Hoping being a “dog nanny” will cure my “dog void” but yet allow me to keep my travel plans. Have fenced yard and 2 miles of Falk Park hiking trails in the neighborhood.

Safety, trust & environment

Information Debbie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog’s special needs. As a retired physician not much fazes me. Since I’ll only care for one dog per visit - your needs will be accommodated.

A typical day

Expect the chance to hike every day, simply with me or with my dog-loving hiking group of friends. The woods behind my fenced back yard are always full of inviting smells. Since retirement I always seem to find something fun to do everyday!

Pet care experience

I’m looking forward to being your “dog nanny” ! I’ve loved taking care of my family’s dogs since childhood. I’m a recently retired physician with travel plans but want dogs in my life and expect dog sitting to be the perfect solution.

Carly's 1st stay with Debbie was fantastic! Carly got a lot of attention and exercise. We rec'd updates & pictures and any doubt I had was totally erased! I will definitely be taking Carly back to Debbie for our next vacation without any hesitation!

Debbie was absolutely fantastic with Donkey! He’s a rescue and is still polishing up a few of his manners, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and kindness. She reached out whenever she had questions, kept us updated every day with messages & pictures. It gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

It was my pups first time staying with a new person, and staying overnight somewhere other than his house! And he had the absolute best time! Debbie was so kind to always give updates, pictures and reply to questions/messages. I plan to definitely send Kuzie back, total trust!

Our 11 month old vizsla puppy is a handful and Debbie handled him beautifully with training experience, understanding, and love. He received dedicated one on one care for the 6 days we were away on vacation and we couldn’t be more pleased. Her daily photo updates were comforting and thoughtful. We would love to have Debbie host our pup again in the future!
