Pet care experience

Be treated like Family!

Dedicated animal lover (especially dogs). I have an adorable cockapoo who loves all dogs, and loves to be active. So, let me know how your dog does on a walk, or at a dog park so we can plan our day. Plenty of playtime. Plenty of affection and love. About this sitter: Responsible lifetime dog lover and dog owner. Why I love dog sitting I am a lifetime dog lover and dog owner. My first dog was Fonzie, a cute little mutt I begged my parents for at a local supermarket. Somehow, I managed to surprise my parents when I became a North Shore Animal League member, at age seven, when I mailed them a donation all on my own. My Dad loved telling that story. Meet my pets I have an adorable, energetic and shy cockapoo who absolutely loves other dogs and is a great playmate. My experience administering medication My last dog had a chronic illness that required pills daily, so I am very comfortable with oral medication. I am less comfortable with injectables, but I have done them in the past.

Deborah is amazing. Punctual, friendly, responsible….everything you could ask for when it comes to pet care. She goes above and beyond and truly cares about our dog and making sure he has what he needs. Couldn’t recommend her any more highly.

Deborah did a wonderful job watching my dogs, Pip & Oliver. I contacted her at the last minute and she responded quickly. I am so grateful to Deborah for her professionalism and obvious love of animals. Would enthusiastically recommend!

Schedule

I am currently working from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention. The first day or two of first visit with pup, you will probably get more messages from me than usual. I am just checking to make sure the behavior I am seeing is "normal". I want your pup to feel safe and secure. Your pup MUST be house-trained and on flea/ tick medication.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed huge backyard deck and partially fenced yard. Your pup is never outside without me. NEVER! I love to go on walks, so if your pup loves that, great. If not, I always follow the pup's lead and normal routine as much as possible.

Would love to know your dog’s usual behaviors on walks. How responds to other people, pups and specific street noise etc. Your pup MUST be house-trained. Like to know your normal routine with your pup and what to expect when they are on walks.
