Information Deborah K. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate special needs and administer oral medications. I need to know when your dog eats, if she/he is allowed snacks, where they like to sleep and how I can make them feel at home.

A typical day

I make sure there is a potty break and usually feeding first thing in the morning we then go outside to play. Fetch is a favorite of most dogs. We go out a few times a day, rest periods and then dinner and outside.

Great sitter! My dog stayed for 3 nights and was really well cared for the entire time. She has a safe fenced yard, and I loved knowing he had space to relax and play outside. He seemed comfortable and happy the whole stay, and communication was easy throughout. Would definitely book again! Thank you Deb!

Deb did a wonderful job with our sweet and anxious dog. She made Joy feel at home and helped her to relax. Deb also checked in with us regularly and sent pictures assuring us that Joy was doing well. We knew that Joy was in good and loving hands, and we are so glad to have found Deb. We definitely will use Deb again. I would rate her higher than 5 if I could!

I chose Deb as my sitter the first time I used Rover and I will choose her again. If I have to leave him with someone again. She was fantastic with Levi. I much preferred the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, get to know the person that is willing to care of my sweet Levi, like I do. She sent me pictures & up dates each day, they played outside every day, he slept in her bed. We go camping and Levi always goes with, but this time we went to an AirBNB (No dogs aloud) his first time away from us, and he did fine.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
