Loving and easy-going

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and other assorted species as pets my entire life. I have also fostered dogs for adoption. I live alone and I'm retired. It is a quiet, peaceful home with a laid-back and patient sitter. I can accommodate most routines that your pet has established from sleeping in a kennel or on a doggie bed. They are also welcome in my bed! Your pet will receive lots of love and attention. I WILL accept dogs up to 25 pounds. (Rover doesn't allow that choice.)

Deborah is awesome! She loves my Harley as much as I do, and takes super great care of him. I have used her for about a year and 1/2, maybe longer. She almost always can take him at the last minute, which is perfect for me because I'm not very organized, lol. Thank you Deborah!🤩🥰

Debora is our trusted and reliable surrogate parent for our fur-girl Zoee! I appreciate knowing she’s happy and in good hands when we have to be away.

Ellie loved her stay with Debbie! We, as Ellie's mom and dad, are just so happy to have found Debbie! She put our minds at ease while we were away from our girl! Thank you Debbie!

Deborah is always great. This is the third time she has watched Harley for us. And even though this was last minute, I only asked her the evening before, she was willing to take him. And he is always happy when I pick him up. Thank you so much Deborah!

Safety, trust & environment

I'm not uptight about accidents in the house but I do clean them up as soon as I know they're there. I am able to take short walks to allow your pet to do his business properly. I have a crate/kennel available. Pets are fed twice a day as well as being given occasional healthy treats with permission. There is a good supply of toys available to engage and stimulate your pet. I want to provide care in line with your pets established routine.
