Responsible and ultra-reliable
Pet care experience
Please note, I do not go to Camp Pendleton 🙁 My hours of availability are ideally 1p to 4p so I can walk my own dog and take care of my family (read make dinner). For 1 or 2 days I can make an exception. I can administer oral medication to dogs but I am not skilled at doing cats. At this time I am unable to accept every day assignments, just vacations and day trips. I will do drop-ins with 15 to 20 minute walks. If you are looking for someone to exercise your dog with a 30 minute power walk I am at my limit, sorry! I love dogs and cats and love making new doggy and kitty friends. I volunteered at Rancho Coastal Humane Society for 11 years from 2007 to 2018. Our family always had at least one dog and I was lucky enough to grow up with my very own cat who was my best friend. While your dog or cat is in my care I will be focused solely on them. I am insured through PCI, Pet Care Insurance. I am ultra-reliable and am available 7 days a week and holidays. To keep my costs down, I try to limit my travel distance to 5 miles one way. Last minute cancellations are no problem for me, my cancellation policy is flexible meaning you will get a full refund up to the day of the booking. EXPERIENCE I joined rover in February 2019. Besides always having my own dogs and cats, I volunteered at Rancho Coastal Humane Society from 2007 to 2018 as a dog companion. After early retirement in 2013, I was able to go 2 days a week! I took their dog training/behavior classes rising to Level 3 which allowed me to work with any shelter dog. Twice a week I attended "Pawsitive Practices" Training classes where certified trainer Sarah Surritt of Get Pawsitive Dog Training and/or Patti O'Farrell of Canine Kids worked with us volunteers to train the shelter dogs. We learned positive training techniques, how to read body language and interact with all kinds of dogs. If desired I can play many training games with your dog! I also have several dog puzzle games and having even expanded into getting kitty puzzle games. Check out my reviews and see! I hope you will give me a try to see if I am a good fit for your pet.

You’re awesome❣️ Thanks again Debbie 🙏🏼 -Rhonda CS 🤗
Debbie is a Godsend! Her love & devotion towards caring for our Katness is immeasurable! Our last trip turned disastrous and left us with an uncertain return date! Debbie didn’t miss a beat; checking in with us throughout the whole ordeal to make sure Katness’ care seamlessly continued. Rover is very fortunate to have someone of your caliber as part of their team. With appreciation & gratitude, -Rhonda CS
Thank you Debbie for the love & care you give our baby Katness😻 Sending photos with your daily updates of how she’s doing gives us peace of mind while we’re away. You’re truly “The Cat’s Meow" 😻
Debbie is the best kitty sitter in town!

Information Debbie N. would like to know about your pet
I cannot walk any strong pullers, (repetitive stress injury to shoulder). I love all dogs but Standard Poodles have an extra special place in my heart, having had them for the past 30 years.

In addition to walks, I also have several puzzle games I can play with your dog. Mental work is exercise too! I also have several kitty puzzles and lots of kitty toys I can play with your cat.
