🐾 Hello Pet parents, I love dogs but living in the city and traveling, I've never felt ready to own a dog full-time. However, my friends with dogs always considered me the go-to person to take care of their pets. One in particular whom I have taken care of for the past 2 years. Her name is Aby, she's an maltese shih tzu mix. I would keep her with me for weeks at a time when her parents were out of town for business. I really enjoy her companionship; taking her to the Tribeca Dog park, potty training her and playing games. As an entrepreneur working remotely, I got to spend a lot of time caring for her. My neighbors fell in love with her too.

Per usual Deborah took great care of Taz, and we really appreciate she was able to accommodate our last minute sitter request.

We were very happy with Deborah's services. We left Taz with Deborah for a few hours while my husband and I attended an event. Our Taz has some separation anxiety, but he seemed to be very much at ease with her. When we were leaving Taz put his paws on her knees and wagged his tail, which he really only does with people he is comfortable with and likes, so it seems he enjoyed his stay with her! Deborah was friendly and professional from start to finish, and was understanding when we ran a few minutes behind schedule. We also appreciated the way she interacted with our senior boy. We would leave Taz with Deborah again.

My dog, Manga, is very shy and afraid of strangers, but when it arrived at Deborah's place, it was love at first sight ! Manga couldn't leave her for a second ! When Deborah went to make us some tea, he followed her as if he  was afraid she would vanish in thin air. And the day I came back to pick up my buddy, he just couldn't let go ... If you searching for a dog keeper, I recommend Deborah !

Deborah is an amazingly caring person. I saw how dedicated and loving she was with Aby (Abichuela)! Always taking her out for walks, play dates and company! She would be the best dog host anyone could have!

Deborah was amazing! She was kind enough to pick up Athenaïs from my home just before I left for Japan since my schedule was very tight before my flight. She kept me regularly updated and sent me the cutest pictures of my dog. I was so happy to see that Athenaïs was in the best possible care! When I came back, my dog was happy, healthy and well taken care of. I'll be flying off to England soon and I won't hesitate to leave my dog in Deborah's care. Thank you so much, Deborah.

I wouldn’t say that there is a typical day as each pet is unique. But I do enjoy taking dogs to the Tribeca Dog park, potty training and playing games.I love providing them with individualized attention.
