I am semi retired working from home with my cuddly golden retriever Joey at my side. He thinks he’s a lap dog and so cute! I have always loved animals and treat them with love, care and attention every animal deserves. I love being home with my dog and I have plenty of time to love up more dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a loving, clean home with a I fenced in back yard where we love hanging out with our dog. I walk my dog 3-4 miles per day and would love to walk your dog too! My dog and I playfully wrestle, play hide-n-seek, chase each other around the house, and play tug of war. These are his favorite activities aside from cuddling. I would love to give your pet company playing their favorite games or just hanging out as well. I love walks, playing games, and being a loving pet companion.

Information deborah g. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for to help us bond and build a great relationship. If your pet has a special collar, leash, or certain play activity they love, or treat you want me to give them for doing certain things, please include that in their pet care profile or let me know in advance so I can take care of their needs and meet your expectations.

A typical day

I will provide the fun activities your pet enjoys doing just like I do for my own dog. I can easily cater to your animals needs and listen to them. It is important to me to give them the quality time they need and that you and your furry family pet expect. Please know that drop-in visits include all kinds of quality time together to take care of basic needs like feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or structured walks. Please let me know if your animal would prefer structured walks or playtime. If you would like both, please request a walk when requesting a drop in visit.

Deborah was amazing with our 1 year old Labrador! Perfect home with fenced in yard for lots of playtime with her own pup. The two dogs were perfect playmates and even took a neighborhood walk! Highly recommended for a caring, loving home for your pet's care.

Deborah did a wonderful job with a drop in visit with my older dog, Teddy. He warmed up to her right away. I also appreciate Deborah’s quick responses to texts and her communication while she did her visit. I will definitely book with Deborah again.

Deborah is a very kind and caring individual. She has a love for dogs and their needs. She exhibits a fun and loving nature with any dog she has owned. She makes sure they are fed properly and exercised. I've known Debbie for years and can recommend her to take good care of another's pet.
