Pets are my first love!

Pet care experience

MY PRICES ARE ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE, ESPECIALLY AT THE MEET & GREET meet & greet is free)!! Prices listed are just that, a SUGGESTION...after meet & greet, my prices are generally lower & tailored to you & your pets needs!) My dogs are treated like children. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own dogs. While in my care, my full attention is focused on your dog(s)/cat(s). I can groom short and long haired dogs. ***I have had my background checked and cleared by 3 organizations: Rover, Wag and The Sheriffs Department of Coweta County Georgia. I never even had a speeding ticket so there is no reason for any fear of me sitting your furbabies in your own home!*** I grew up with dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood as well as spending my childhood taking care hand-feeding 8 calfs. I've handled all breeds of dogs, from the smallest of the small to Great Dane's to Pitbulls, from young puppies still being bottle fed to senior dogs. I've even dealt with dogs in their final stages of life, passing away from cancer. I am available at a moments notice, except an occasional early Saturday morning when I am running Charity-Only based 5K and 10K races, as well as July 3-5 for the running of the Peachtree Road Race 10K. Proper treatment of pets is my passion & you should expect nothing less than the absolute best care possible!! ❤ (Rates are always NEGOTIABLE) ***Please note: Your pets well-being is my top priority!!*** The prices listed are only listed because the website required me to fill-in the box.

Debbie was great! The dogs loved her and she was able to accommodate the crazy long day! My pups were well taken care of and I can’t wait to use her again.

Deborah came to house to look after our babies a few months ago and she really went above and beyond. She made a pre visit to meet everyone and learn their routine. I was amazed how quickly everyone took to her. She stayed at the house for a week and sent daily updates and pictures. When we returned she had even cleaned the house which was never asked or expected of her. We have had several bad experiences in the past and was understandably nervous but she made us very comfortable. We couldn't have been happier with her work and will definitely be calling on her again. Brian & Tina Ferguson.

I haven't had a lot of luck with Rover sitters until now. My last one was such a disappointment that I was reluctant to try again but then I found Deborah. She came to meet everyone and they all took to her much faster than normal. That made me more confident but you still never know for sure. When it came time for the drop in visit she went above and beyond. I had only asked that she let our baby Nakita out for a potty break. She is blind and stays inside for her safty. Deborah not only did what we had asked but she cleaned litter boxes,brought in a package that had been delivered and spent at least an hour just giving everyone some attention. We have a house sitting scheduled for just before Christmas and I am confident that she will do another outstanding job for us and our babies.

Information Deborah J. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know if the dog is flea/tick/heart worm protected & all shots are updated, not only for the safety of your dog but the safety of my Chow and me as well. I would like to know if the dog is food agressive as well as if there are any food allergies or food intolerances that I need to know about. Just like a child, any specific bedtimes, bedtime rituals or anything else you may do to make your furbaby more comfortable, especially since you won't be there, are also good to know. I want your baby to be as stress-free as possible. I have handled all breeds from wee-little ones to huge Great Danes's and all kinds in between...from pure breeds to pound puppies. The only thing I ask is that while the owner is there, I get a few moments to interact with the dog before the owner leaves. Just let me know about anything, no matter how small it is, that your pet is used to doing. I am basically your "Stand-In" so I want your pet to be as comfortable with me as possible and that you can be assured and relaxed that all goes well.*******After the meet & greet, we can discuss the prices, which are often less than listed! (The listed prices are merely a suggestion to get the cost discussion started, I also provide a written receipt to ensure we are all on the same price page. I also like to know what they do for fun...no boring days here.

A typical day

(My prices are always negotiable!)I love walking dogs in dog-friendly parks. Slobbery balls and toys are not a problem. I bring my own "nummies" (bisuit/treats) pouch with me and if the owner wants, I will help reinforce positive training with the treats. The owner has the final say as to whether or not the dog will even get treats while I am there. My attention is centered on your pet and putting their needs first. Do not hesitate to let me know if your pet has special needs or you have a special routine your pet is used to, I am here to make sure your pet has the best experience and you feel 110% comfortable with me and my abilities.
