Pet care experience

Just Like Visting Grandma!

After "retiring" from a 30-year career in corporate video, it was time to be more health and family focused. Throughout the past 5 years, I have helped my daughter with her dog-training business. I was the "Grandma" to her dog clients, and this reignited my childhood love of dogs. Helping my daughter with her business taught me a lot about dog behavior and proper care. (I already knew how to love them!) My husband and I lost our beloved dog, Annabelle, in August (2024) and it was heart-wrenching. We're not ready to get another dog, so caring for a dog through Rover really sounded like something we would love and would help to heal our broken hearts.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Debbie provided for my Peter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she cared about animals. Debbie kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes about my dog’s day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Debbie is also very communicative and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone.

Debbie did a wonderful job with my dog! She gave me updates throughout his stay, including pictures and videos. I felt at ease with Phil staying with her, and will definitely be booking again for future needs.

This was our first time using Rover, we didn’t know what to expect. But Debbie was nothing short of amazing with our Bailey!! She checked in with us daily with updates on our girl, provided pictures and videos to show us she was doing great! We could tell she was very well taken care of! Thank you Debbie!! And I highly recommend using her to take care of your fur babies!!

Debbie was amazing! It felt like Daisy was being taken care of by family. Spoiled her while we were gone! We will definitely have her watch Daisy again!

I would trust Debbie with my dog, my bird, my home, my children or my grandchildren! She is one of the most responsible, trustworthy, compassionate, and honorable people I've ever known. She excels at everything she does and integrity could be her middle name.

Schedule

The past 10 years I worked from home. Now that I've retired from that business, I have some part-time work that I do from home, so your pup would hang with me most of the time!
