Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and keep a close eye on pets, especially during walks, playtime, and feeding to make sure they’re safe. I’m mindful of details like securely latching gates, using leashes, and avoiding stressful situations with unfamiliar animals. Above all, I believe trust is earned through communication and consistency. I ask clarifying questions before any booking and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is doing well and being treated with love and respect.

Information Deborah M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs that need to be accounted for, such as medication, food preferences, or behavioral concerns.

A typical day

I love to keep pets engaged and earn their trust through walks, playtime, and cuddles. I take the owner’s preferences as a guide and also respect what the pet needs to adjust. They often get anxious when their owner is away so I ease into activities by gauging their physical cues.

Experienced Dog Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to temperamental seniors who need a gentler touch and a little extra patience. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with a range of needs, including those with complex medical or mobility issues, and I’m comfortable following detailed care routines and administering medication when needed. I truly love dogs and treat each one as if they were my own family member. Whether it’s going for walks, keeping up with playtime, or providing calm companionship, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

Deborah goes above and beyond to care for my pup Lyla! She even made time to come over and meet my dog prior to our first walk - which was booked last minute due to unexpected schedule changes - to make sure Lyla felt safe and comfortable with her. I really appreciate her flexibility in scheduling and I’m so glad I have peace of mind when leaving Lyla in her care. Thank you!

Debbie is very responsible and professional. She is attentive and loving toward our 10 year old golden retriever, Jack. Jack was always happy to see her and seemed to enjoy her company. Debbie followed directions as to feeding and walking him and was alert to how he was feeling. We would definitely use her again and definitely recommend her.

Debbie took great care of my pets. She was especially understanding with my anxious, stranger shy Aussie...

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
