Pet care experience

I'm an ‘empty nester’ and am excited to focus my energy on my love for animals. I am home full-time so I can be flexible with days and times for drop in and walks. I have had dog breeds ranging from Alaskan Husky to Irish Setter to Labradoodle, and cat breeds from domestic longhair to shorthair. And I’ve loved them all!! I currently have one sweet, friendly female 14 year old Labradoodle and a 13 year old domestic medium hair Tortoiseshell cat. I've been walking my neighbor's dogs and currently am leash-training a 7 month old Burmese Mountain dog named Darby! I enjoy daily walks or hikes & spending time outdoors. Walks are in residential sidewalk/trail areas. You can rest assure that your pets will always have the love and attention they need and deserve when in my care. I believe in using positive reinforcement to lessen anxiety and fear, making interactions a more positive and rewarding experience. Additional Skills Oral Medication Administration Senior Dog Experience Can provide daily exercise Injected Medication Administration For pets that are more shy, I really take my time trying to coax them out of there shell so they feel more comfortable.

Deborah is wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my cats at all while on a week long vacation. She was timely and responsive. I really enjoyed the pictures and my cats really enjoyed their scavenger hunts.

Deborah did a great job taking care of Blueberry and giving him his medication while I was out of town!

Deborah was amazing! She dealt with some difficulties with our smart lock, was a great communicator, and got our girl out for two great walks while we worked.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very flexible, making sure to tailor my activities around what each dog loves and needs, be it brisk walks, slow strolls and smells, frisbee tossing, or time on a trail.

Information Deborah D. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know as much as possible to get to know your pet before sitting. How is your dog with other dogs/cats? How are they with male and female humans? Do they have any past trauma or fears to be aware of? Injuries/surgeries/weaknesses in bones or on medication? Do they suffer from separation anxiety? What's their favorite toy and game to play?

A typical day

I love being able to play with the animals I drop in on and focus on having our time together be as beneficial for them as I can! I tailor our time together to what they need: expend extra energy by playing, or jogging on our walks, or if they just needs extra cuddles! For pets that are more shy, I'm gentle and patient as I hope to help them feel more comfortable with me.
