Loving, Active, Happy Dog Lover

Pet care experience

About Debby (with a Y): Hi! I'm Debby, and if you're like me, your pets have become family members. When you can't be home for them, whether it's because of work, vacation, or other obligations, you want them taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. That's exactly what I'm here for. Specialize in Vacation & Second Home Pet Sitting in Watercolor, Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. I want to follow your pets regular routine, such as eating schedules, potty breaks, grooming necessities, and daily exercise requirements to make them as comfortable as possible and happily provide the love, attention, and exercise your pets deserve when you're not around. I live an active lifestyle – walking and really enjoy being outdoors. I provide dog walking - for those that prefer the slower pace. This service is meant for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My main goals are to make sure your pets are HAPPY, TAKEN CARE OF, and EXERCISED while you are away. My schedule is flexible (my kids are grown and on their own) and open so I am able to give your companion(s) all the love, attention, care, and potty breaks they need. Normally I come to your Vacation or Second Home in Watercolor, Seaside, Rosemary Beach & Alys Beach. Occasionally I do have pets in my home. My yard is fenced on the sides and to the front and the back is open to a small private lake. Depending on your dog and your wishes, I can walk your dog several times a day in my neighborhood which is quiet and no traffic except those who live at the end of my street. Thank you for your time and consideration, and if you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate. Best of luck finding the right fit for your family! I have lived here for over 25 years. As our kids were growing up, we always had a dog, and at times two. (Golden Retrievers) I miss not having a dog at home. We had many great memories with our dogs - Skipper, Shane and Chase and truly miss them. Overall, It makes me happy to care for and spend time with animals. I would love the chance to get to know you and your pets and treat them as if they were my own! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog named Dutchess and a cat named Panther. When I got married, my husband had a dog named Shannon, an Irish Setter and her puppy Alice, who was a hand full! My experience administering medication I can give oral medications - no problem. What Debby needs to know about your dog: I would like to know: Daily Routine: eating schedule, potty breaks, exercise requirements, etc. Commands: vocal cues and/or hand signals Activities: What do your dogs love to do? Traits that are specific to your dog: (ex. growls when others gets close to food, shreds toys, is an escape artist, bites when your pet their ears, etc - any information is helpful). If your dog is very shy, fear reactive, or dog reactive I would love to meet them beforehand so they can get used to me, if at all possible. I will treat your dog as if my own, which means like part of the "family" ~ Debby PS: Do you need a Babysitting Service that will come to in Watercolor, Seaside, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach?

Debby is fabulous! I felt at ease knowing she was staying with my clingy golden and my maniac lab! She left detailed notes about her stay and sent me picture updates of the dogs. She also agreed to care for them fairly last minute. Thank you Debby for giving my pups the TLC they needed while I was away!

Debbie was helpful, gracious, reliable and kind, as well as terrific with our two dogs. She relieved our anxiety about leaving our dogs in a strange place ( a rented small condo room) with a strange person. She helped us resolve our problems navigating the Rover.com site and helped straighten out the billing. We were very grateful for her service and highly recommend her to others.

Debby was absolutely wonderful!! She stayed with our two dogs over spring break (last minute booking due to unforeseen events and she was so accommodating and we thank her so much for that!) One dog has major fear and people issues and both did great with Debby. She kept us up to date with texts and pics. I never once worried about the dogs (that's a big deal for me!) I can't say enough positive things about her, we would definitely use her again, and I've already recommended her to friends.
