Peace of mind while you're away

Pet care experience

I am Mama to my own fur baby rescues, Loki and Bucky (yes, we’re Marvel fans!) 😆 A dog just makes it feel like home and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. While I didn't grow up having dogs, I have always loved them and learned quickly how to care for them. My first dog was when I met my husband 24 years ago -- Brutus, a red and white cocker spaniel. Brutus taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and the heartbreak of losing them. I have cared for a wide range of dogs and cats with special needs. From the occasional pain pill to even administering insulin shots, I've done it all. I have also dealt with dogs that are unsure and afraid of me at first. I slowly gained their trust and they are now one my BFFs (Best Furry Friends!) My 20+ years experience loving and caring for dogs has taught me a lot. In fact, if I have a fault, it's that I get too attached to my furry friends. During your time away, I will send you text and photo message updates, so you can see your fur-babies and how they are doing. I always have my cell phone with me, so I am always available. During our meet and greet, we can go over the specifics of your dog or cat's care instructions. I do my very best to be the surrogate "Mom" or "Dad" while you are away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family members while you are away. I promise to love and care for them like they were my own.

Debi is wonderful! She was super patient and helpful during an awkward situation while I was out of town and took great care of my cats, keeping me updated as best she could.

Debi was wonderful! She took great care of our cats with detailed updates and even went out of her way to help with our mail/trash. Super friendly and helpful, highly recommended.

We had so much fun on our vacation because Debi created a vacation for Max too. I enjoyed her updates and how she described Maxie’s spirit. She was spot on about his excitement, playfulness and love. The two of them bonded very quickly. I will forever cherish the sweet pictures Debi took of Max. Thank you so very much for loving our Maxie.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a guest in your home and I behave as such. My goal is to leave your home as clean, if not cleaner, than when I arrived. I don’t want you to know I was even there — although the numerous pictures I send will show otherwise! 😂 I will do my absolute best to follow the care instructions you provide and that we go over during the initial meeting and greet. For repeat clients, if it’s been awhile since I’ve cared for their furry family members, I’ll ask if there are any changes. If there’s a big change in the care instructions, I might schedule a follow up meet and greet. Sometimes it’s just easier to go over big changes, such as a new illness or new home, in person. Another safety step I always take is to have your actual cell phone number and a back up contact available. This just ensures that should an emergency arises, I have a way to get in contact with you. It’s better to be over prepared for emergencies than under prepared!

Information Debi W. would like to know about your pet

Some questions I might ask are: Do they like to play ball? Where do they sleep? What do they normally eat and how much? Are treats okay? Do they have a favorite toy? Are they afraid of anything? If yes, how do they react and how can I best comfort them? At our Meet & Greet, we can discuss the individual needs for your furry family members. I do my best to be your pet’s surrogate "Mom" while you are away -- doing everything you would do if you were at home. But please be aware that I am not you. Your pet might act differently with me than with you, but I would let you know about anything concerning that comes up during my stay or visit.

A typical day

The activities we do will depend on your dog and what they like. During our Meet & Greet, I will ask about what activities your dog enjoys and how I can best make my stay with them as pleasant as possible.

Caring for others’ fur babies has been my full time occupation for the past 6 years. I am a Mom (2 human boys and 3 fur boys/dogs) and Wife, so I do try to maintain a balance, which has worked out wonderfully so far! I keep a calendar of all activities, personal and professional, so I will do my best to make sure your babies are cared for while still maintaining my personal life. If I will be gone longer than the agreed upon time frame, I will communicate that with you.
