Loving kindness for sensitive pups

Pet care experience

I have a good deal of experience working with dogs that need a more gentle touch. Not all dogs enjoy lots of fuss and activity for many reasons. It’s quite a special thing to earn the trust of timid dogs for whom the world can be a scary place. My empathic nature and experience in energy work help me appreciate the unique needs of each dog I work with. I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, or just “be” as appropriate for the dog's comfort. At home I have handicapped pets of my own, including a paralyzed terrier mix (RIP Rogue) and a tri-pawed chihuahua. My experience with differently abled dogs has taught me that with a bit of adaptation, there is no reason why they can’t lead healthy, happy lives just like any other dog.

We love having Debbie take care of Fuzz! He really enjoys Debbie’s company. After returning home, Fuzz’s coat was much softer and he was less sensitive prior to us leaving. Debbie’s care and attention to detail is phenomenal.

I’ve hired Debbie twice to watch my cat while I have traveled and I’ve never been disappointed. Given her experience in veterinary medicine and deep love for animals, I feel at ease knowing that my little homie is in the best hands.
