A typical day

I love to play, walk, cuddle with puppies/dogs, kittens/cats and have them "join" me in my daily activities - snuggling on the couch/bed, sunning themselves in the backyard, following me around from room to room, riding in the car for a morning coffee run, or just being out in the world enjoying ourselves!

Empty Nest Mom - Lots of Love!

Pet care experience

I have had pets for my entire life (and that's a long time). I have been fostering puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for the last several years. I am now a newly empty nest Mom with a very quiet house. In all my years having family pets, like you are now, I always found a private sitter to care for my animals while I was away. I believe pets are not meant to be boarded if it can be avoided.

Deborah was wonderful with our dog, Benji! This was our first time having Deborah watch him, and she made the entire experience stress-free. She sent us regular updates and photos throughout our 9-day trip, which gave us great peace of mind. When we picked Benji up, he was happy, relaxed, and it was obvious he had been well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Deborah again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.

We did a 3 hour day-care before boarding and my two dogs were so comfortable with Deborah at drop-off. She sends pictures and updates. I love having someone close-by.

Deborah was so great! We did a meet and greet with my dog Bentley prior to daycare - her house is lovely and she made sure Bentley was very comfortable! She gave us many updates while he was there. I highly recommend using Deborah and have already booked her out for our summer travels!

Deborah is a passionate pet sitter who loves animals and is dedicated to caring for pets. I had forgotten to call the gate about her coming in the first night and she was so kind and understanding about having to come back a second time the same night to care for our kitty. She is very responsible and sent lots of photos!
