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.

Highly recommend Debbie! My first time using Rover and she took all my fears away the minute I met her. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated on how she was doing with photos. She took care to slowly introduce my dog to hers to make sure they got along and even checked on her in the night. Highly recommend.

Deborah is a fantastic and caring sitter. Her home is the perfect set up for pups inside and out. Her experience as a veterinary technician is reassuring as is her love for dogs! Muffin and Belle had a great stay. We will definitely use Deborah to care for our dogs in the future!

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.

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
