Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I keep my schedule flexible so I can be available when you need me. I currently have plenty of availability for house sitting, walks, drop‑ins, all while keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet would receive consistent attention and care throughout the day.

About Debbie T.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or staying in yours, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. For client stays, I follow your instructions closely—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, giving medications if needed, and keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time, including letting them out into the backyard for potty breaks and taking them on relaxed walks for exercise and enrichment. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Information Debbie T. would like to know about your pet
I want every pet to feel comfortable and understood, so it helps to know a few things before I arrive. Please share anything about your dog’s routine, personality, or quirks that would help me care for them the way you do. I love knowing their favorite activities, what makes them excited, and what helps them feel calm. It’s also helpful to know about any special needs — feeding instructions, medications, mobility issues, sensitivities, or anything that might make them nervous (like loud noises, new people, or other dogs). If they have specific walking habits, training cues, or house rules, I’m happy to follow them. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to keep your dog happy, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, relaxed, and on their normal routine. I start with fresh water, a quick check‑in, and a little greeting time so they know they’re safe and cared for. Some dogs are ready to play right away, others like a slow, calm start — I follow their lead. If your dog enjoys walks, we’ll head out for a comfortable stroll to get some exercise and sniff around the neighborhood. If they’re more of a homebody, we’ll spend time playing with their favorite toys, practicing simple cues, or just enjoying some cozy companionship. I keep feeding schedules consistent, make sure their space stays tidy, and offer plenty of affection, belly rubs, or quiet company depending on what they enjoy. My goal is to make each visit feel familiar and comforting, so your dog stays content and relaxed while you’re away.

Trusted, Experienced Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of real-world pet sitting experience. Caring for pets has never been “just a job” for me — it’s something I’ve done consistently and responsibly for decades. At one point, I maintained 8–10 regular, long-term clients, many of whom trusted me with their pets year after year. I currently have one dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important routines, patience, and individual attention are. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, seniors, cats, and pets who require specific feeding instructions, medications, or extra TLC. I’m calm, observant, and dependable — and I communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering how your pet is doing. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Thank you! Debbie

Reviews
Absolutely fantastic! Very kind, with both me and my fur baby. Thorough and attentive, very punctual 💕
This travel nurse and lil sadie is super thankful for Debbie. Working long nights Debbie came to my rescue. She is very informative and amazing with Lil Sadie. We are grateful that everything worked out
Debbie is amazing, we have been hiring her at least an hour per week.
Debbie has been walking Arlo for a while now and she is absolutely amazing with him. She treats him like he’s her own, and goes above and beyond to make sure he’s getting the best care. I highly recommend Debbie and I will be continuing to book with her!
