VET TECH for your fur kids at home!

Pet care experience

If you have a high maintenance pet, I’m here for those needs but also for the basics. I’ve taken care of many different pets in the past. I’ve worked in veterinary med for over 10 yrs (mostly dogs and cats). I will and can watch other small critters if needed. I am very attentive to animals behaviors and certified in animal CPR. I believe in what these pets provide for us as humans and treat them with the kindness they deserve. I can answer some basic veterinary questions and help with some grooming needs if needed. ie nail trims (cost discussed upon request). I do treat pets/animals with the same respect as smalls humans, therefore - playing, teaching, engaging etc just as I would a young child. I don’t have any kids of my own so, I have channeled that energy and care into my dedication of animals. Let’s keep their tails wagging!

Debbie is great! She is a natural with our dogs and picks up their personalities quickly. She has spent several nights in our home while dog sitting and would text and send pictures. She is our first choice when needing a dog sitter.

Debbie is wonderful to work with! She’s very professional, considerate, caring, patient, and so easy to work with. She was really flexible with my requests and was also willing to compromise with me when I had to reschedule last minute. Her 10+ years of medical experience with animals also brings so much comfort to me when I’m away, knowing my fur babies are in such good care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a dedicated pet care taker, knowing they’re in more than capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful park. I often take my dogs on these walks. Depending on the guest, I will provide all the necessary tasks pets need. Walking, feeding, playing etc. we currently have two large dogs (100# and an 80#) and two cats. Therefore, any pet will have to be animal friendly.

Information Debbie L. would like to know about your pet

I do appreciate a courtesy alert if your pet needs behavioral awareness. My first inclination is never that the pet is dangerous. However, I do approach every pet with caution for their sake as to not frighten them. But please let me know if I need to for everyone’s safety. Thank you. My current rates are as they are unless pet is in need of medical attention and/or special needs. Thank you.

A typical day

Unfortunately, I will not take owners pets on adventures. The risk is too great. However, I will take them on scenic paths with lots of smells. Fun time, belly time and chill time included.

I recently moved here from CO and left my full time job as a veterinary technician to help with family affairs so I am very flexible right now regarding schedules.
