Pet care experience

Debbie

I have been a dog lover my whole life. I got my first dog at 5 and never looked back. Ive been a veterinary assistant for the past 21 years with experience in both general practice and rehabilitation. During this time I learned a lot about many different breeds, sizes and ages of dogs, especially in rehab. I also have experience pet sitting in people's homes, for family and for friends.

Cooper was so happy with Deborah! It’s so apparent that she loves animals and they return her affection. She has a great yard for them to spend time outdoors. Cooper will be happy to go back and spend more time with Deborah.

Our dog had an amazing time! He felt right at home and we were so happy with the care he received while we were away. I highly recommend Debbie for all boarding needs!

Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!

My sweet #1 hasn't had a smile on his adorable little face since before #2 arrived! I can comfortably say, we are sold on Deb!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a newly fenced secure yard. Bathroom breaks are always available. My property is private with little to no traffic. On nice days we walk around the property. On and off leash walks are an option. The whole house is dog friendly Im able to easily separate dogs when and if needed for eating, sleeping and bathroom breaks. I have an old cat that is dog friendly but will swat if bothered too much. Ideally I would love to care for little dogs that can join in our daily life.

Pets

Let me know if your dog needs any special attention. Im able to give meds, feed special diets and care for pets with special needs. I love caring for senior pets. Ive worked with paralyzed dogs. Dogs with injuries of all kinds. I have a way of winning over anxious, shy and nervous dogs. I will take time to get to know your dog and provide a safe space for them while they are in my care.
