Dog Loving Retiree
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs & have owned 4 dogs in the past. I am comfortable providing care for puppies to seniors and am particularly open to providing quality care to older dogs, with or without medical conditions. Due to the overwhelming demand for senior care, I require a Meet & Greet within 7 days of your inquiry. Most clients book my services during the meet & greet. If you wish to proceed with booking me, I need you to do so within 2 days in order to secure your preferred dates. I will not utilize the use of shock, prong or choke collars. My care philosophy is to not inflict pain or stress on dogs in my care. I strive to provide a calm, welcoming and safe environment where every dog can feel comfortable and happy. I’m open to accepting all dogs within reason. Please note that aggressive dogs and dogs that are not leash trained are not a good fit for me.
Reviews
Another great experience with Deb. Our pup was happy and we got a lot of nice updates while away.
Deborah did a great job with our golden retriever, Sparky. She also took meticulous care of our home. We will call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
Deborah was amazing. She took such good care of Ozzy, sending us pics and updates daily. Although we were traveling, these pictures were the highlights of our boys days. We really appreciated it. Ozzy was completely spoiled during his time with Deborah and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We will definitely be reaching out to Deborah in the future when we need a dog sitter!
Deborah is an excellent communicator and my dog had a wonderful time in her care. He came home extremely calm after his stay which is a great indicator of how comfortable he was with her. I can't recommend her enough!

My neighborhood is quiet with lots of room for walks. There is a local park minutes away that has lovely space for walking. If your pet is shy and more of a homebody, I am happy to accommodate.
