Deborah was wonderful with Watson during his first 12-day stay with her! She was incredibly communicative throughout, sending updates with photos that gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. Watson has some anxiety and can get nervous, and Deborah was patient and understanding with him, quickly figuring out his quirks and made him feel right at home. Despite the hot days for much of the stay, she made sure Watson still got plenty of exercise and stimulation with backyard play time and walks whenever the weather allowed. By the end of the trip he was clearly comfortable and thriving in her care. We'd absolutely book with Deborah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about their dog's wellbeing.

Deborah was great with handling our grumpy, anxious senior dog. It was the perfect, safe environment for her; we were able to relax & enjoy our trip knowing she was well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is totally dog friendly- single level (no stairs for our senior pups), complete with a doggie door and fully fenced yard! I am experienced and comfortable administering medications.

A typical day

I have a large fenced yard accessible by doggie door so your pup can access it at will and there is plenty of room for a rousing game of ball throwing, chase or whatever else your dog enjoys! I am big on walking so exploring the neighborhood is a typical activity!

I am easily adaptable to your dogs needs and schedule. I do require all dogs be spayed or neutered, 100% housebroken, fully vaccinated and have some type of flea/tick maintenance. Drop off and pick up hours are between 9am-7pm unless special arrangements are made.
