Highlights
Pet care experience
A safe & happy place for your buddy
Dogs love me because I "speak" their language. All dogs, young and old, see me as the Alpha. This quality gives them a sense of calm, safety and security. It is my job as their part time Alpha to always protect them. That's the main role of the Alpha. Your dog will be with me or my assistant/husband during the day. We don't kennel the dogs in our care unless the dog is happier in the crate at night. I work to create a safe and well socialized pack no matter the age and size. I specialize in small dogs and their need for socialization. The belief that little dogs don't need much socialization is false. Although they don't require large amounts of exercise, they need socialization like any big dog. Your dog will have an enjoyable and fun time with us. I work from home. In fact, your fur baby is my business and my passion. My doors open for drop off or pick up at 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. I have a yard that has 6ft. privacy fences all around the property. In addition, if you prefer to have your fur baby crated at night, I can provide a crate for them to use. Your pup will never be alone in my home or out in the yard. Even though I have tall fences, that isn't a guarantee they won't get into trouble. I am outside monitoring their activity, whether playing with each other or exploring the yard. The smallest pups I go out with and walk no more than 3' away. Call me overly cautious, but we do have large raptors in our area and this is just another layer of security. Inside, we keep our home as safe as possible. We have locks on food cabinets and store anything that could fall and hurt a pup and what might be ingested and make them sick.

Ratings and reviews
Deborah was so good with our high energy puppy! He had a great day playing with her other pups! Although we dont need regular car - when we do - we will definitely reach out to her! Thank you
Deb is wonderful!! Can’t recommend enough! She is an amazing communicator and will ensure you feel comfortable and know your little one is happy and healthy during their stay! She is incredible with dogs and my little guy fell in love immediately. He had lots of play and rest time and came home the perfect amount of tired but happy!
Deb was so sweet, warm, and welcoming! She took time to make sure our pug was a good fit with her other pets and regulars, and took fantastic care of Musubi while we were out of town visiting family. She provided lots of fun and helpful updates - reassuring us that Musu was doing well, making friends, and otherwise being a good boy. Can’t recommend Deb highly enough - thanks Deb!!
Deborah is great! She has an attention to detail. She is very loving and caring with my dogs. They love to go see her.
Deb is amazing! She is communicative, sends photos throughout the day, and reassures me that my dog is doing great! I love that she only allows friendly smaller dogs. I can see it in the photos she sends, and from his demeanor when I pick him up, that he has a blast socializing with the small dog squad. It’s wonderful to have peace of mind throughout my workday that my little guy is being cared for by such a compassionate professional ☺️
We adore Deb!! She loves my dogs like they’re her own! The dogs have a great balance of rest and play at her house and are excited every time we pull up to the house. One of my dogs has had some eating issues and Deb has helped me problem solve them, and her solutions work great every time! We love Deb!!

Schedule
This is my full time job. I'm home most of the time, however, there are occasions I must leave. My husband is retired, so pups are never left alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I take the pups outside they are always accompanied either by me or my husband. We are always on site. When feeding, we have gates up in areas so that we may feed the food aggressive pups or slow eaters in quiet areas where they will not be disturbed.
Pets
A typical day
Because of the nature of my business caring for multiple household pets at a time, I find that what works best is to do play and running games. If I create a safe environment, the dogs gravitate to a dog of their energy level and play drive. It's gratifying to see dogs from different households enjoying each others' company. Most pups go home happy and tired because of the safety and comfort level they have here to meet up and play with different dogs.
