Pampered Pets in Paradise!

Pet care experience

We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops.

I frequently travel with two golden retrievers, a senior, one age 11 and a young dog age 18 months. I knew they weren’t invited to an event, and my brother-in-law wouldn’t allow them at his home, so I was delighted when I found Debbie! She was so wonderful to the dogs And has such a beautiful property for them to run and play on. Her own small dogs were very kind to my big dogs and it sure seemed like everybody had a great time. I can’t wait to come back and visit my sister and let my dogs go to camp with Debbie. I would give more than five stars if I could!

I am lucky to say that I have known Debbie as a close friend for over 40 years! We met in high school and she has been taking care of my family's pets since then. She was the only one who had patience with my sister's spoiled Pomeranian and the energy for our lab mix. Debbie and her husband have raised 3 amazing children and 9 wonderful dogs over the years. She will still travel back all the way to Texas to take care of my dog and cat - I think she loves them more than me! If you need a dog walker, someone to stay with your pet while you are on vacation, or calmly give medication to your fussy fur baby I highly recommend Debbie. She loves every dog from the biggest Rottweiler to the feistiest Chihuahua and every kitty in between!

Debbie is an incredible care giver, and I’ve known her and used her for over 27 years! Her heart is full of love, and she takes incredible care of our pets. She is one of the most reliable people I know. Book her early so you don’t miss out!

Information Debbie P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. All housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds are fine by me. I like to know what the dog's routines are and what makes the dog comfortable. Just like people, dogs have a daily schedule that they like to keep. I like to know that schedule about a dog before I sit for him or her.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Your dog will be walked throughout the seven acres of our property. There are lots of trees and shade. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog has many options on where to sleep. We are a pet-friendly home, so dogs are free to be on our couches, chairs, and beds. If your pet prefers their own bed, please bring it along. Additionally, if your dog feels more secure in a kennel, I have a large one available for use. Time I'll spend with your dog My schedule is extremely flexible! I spend most of my time at home. Your pet will be with me a majority of the time. The amount of time I spend with your pet depends on the dog's requirements and your requirements. I will stay in your house the entire time while you are away and will live with your dog just as you would; however, I'm also available to visit your house several times per day if that's what makes you and your dog comfortable. I'm flexible to your needs. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I'm happy to do additional "house sitting" tasks while you are away, such as watering plants, bringing in the mail, light house cleaning, etc. I will make your home look "lived in" by adjusting lights, blinds, and curtains and assuring newspapers and fliers don't accumulate in your yard or at the front door.
