I have a fully fenced backyard where my Golden Retriever, Frankie, would be ready to make friends with your dog if you’d like them to meet. If you’d prefer that your dog stay at home in his/her own surroundings, I’ll be happy to oblige whatever requests you have in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

Information Debbie W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should know about in advance. I love senior dogs as well as puppies!

A typical day

I would be happy to take your dog for a walk once or twice a day, play catch in the backyard, or any other activities that they enjoy! We could even come over to my fenced in backyard to play with my Golden Retriever, Frankie, if you’d like! He is very dog-friendly (as well as people-friendly!).

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Debbie, and I have always had dogs in my life! I retired a little over a year ago, and I love spending time with my husband and our 2 year old Golden Retriever, Frankie. He’s our second Golden and we love this breed, although we really love all dogs — cats, too! I enjoy walking Frankie and we are avid walkers in this house. I’d love to take your dog on walks, too! I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits for feeding and potty breaks (with or without Frankie tagging along, that would be up to you); I can also housesit your dog in your own home while you’re away on vacation or other travels. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Debbie is an excellent sitter! She has watched my Chihuahua, Lenny for a few years now whenever I go out of town. I can always trust that my pup has a great time and is well cared for by her. She always keeps me up to date with how Lenny’s doing and sends pictures throughout his stay. I’d definitely recommending hiring her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
