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.

Information Deborah K. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Calling all small dogs!! Join us in our daily stress free environment! Our days are filled with toys walks, naps, treats and lots of love! Sitting in the morning sun is one way we love to start our day.

Pet care experience

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.

I have two tiny fluff balls and Debbie K is my goto caregiver. She has a heart of gold for animals. I know my fluffs are in a safe environment with an experienced animal handler when they are with Debbie K. 
She has 20 plus years as a Vet Tech so her handling skills are trustworthy and done with love. She has an acre of fenced in, groomed land on 10 acres in Bernardsville. Her sanctuary is only 4 minutes from downtown Bernardsville, 5 minutes from Mendham Kings and during The Hunt, we sit in her yard with the dogs and listen to the festivities from Far Hills - it’s a great location for a multitude of neighboring towns. Debbie K is extremely careful with food and toys, considerate with different personalities and loves to get on the ground and play. She wouldn’t dream of leaving anyone out and has a way to get groups of dogs happily involved with each other. It’s truly a talent. Trust is big in this situation and I trust Debbie K.
