⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deborah took exceptional care of my dog, Lily, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Lily felt completely at home. Deborah's home has such a warm, welcoming energy, and it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. She was incredibly communicative throughout Lily's stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious Lily was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Deborah with Lily again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my girl!

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.

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.
