Shoot me a doggy bone!

Pet care experience

My name is Deborah Marko; Growing up we had a cat, Doberman's, a Shepherd, a Great Dane, an English Bulldog, designer dogs, fish. As an adult I rescued the love of my life Charlie a Shih Tzu. I had him for over ten years. Loved the dialogue! I learned that Charlie was able to learn new direction regardless of his age. In college I pet sat for a cat, who loved to play retrieve the ball. He would climb on top of the refrigerator routinely to do so. What I learned from that experience is that anything can happen. The owner had asked I play with him at each visit, and I did Whenever I would try to leave the cat would grab onto my leg with his claws and not let go! I think he loved me! My typical routine for pet care is following a routine: business first, medication, food, water, play and/or affection. Available 7-10 pm. I am flexible depending on the needs of the pet(s) and of the family. I have a BA Biology; I am a former lab tech. I like to think this is part of the reason why I am respectful of protocol and managing directions. Because I have a medical background, I am interested in knowing about your dog's medical history as it pertains to pet services. My communication style is consultative.

I personally have know Deborah for the past 15 years and I would highly recommended her for pet sitting-walking . She is absolutely a warm hearted caring animal lover who is extremely responsible! I highly recommend and trust Deborah to care for your animal as I do mine! You would be comfortable and confident your pet (s) would experience loving care!

Information Deborah M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as you can tell me about your best friend(s), especially medical condition(s). In particular I would like to know about routine, treats, medications, likes, dislikes. Are there booties and a coat available for bad weather. If a shih tzu, I know they have difficulty with heat, may have some issues with cold paws. Which are the favorite toys and what are the names of those toys. What are the pets not allowed to do? Exercise and food restrictions, etc.

A typical day

I like to maintain a routine when walking pets, with an emphasis on exercise. If the weather is inclement, I will make sure business is taken care of, with play time to complete the visit. I think it is important to make sure they get good exercise so they may sleep to eliminate the boredom while waiting for family to come home.
