Boarding • May 10, 2024

Deborah was the best! We used her services when we were traveling thru and flew out of Orlando. Buddy loved her - lots of walks and dog park and cuddles. She was great about sending pics and videos - and messaged updates frequently. Highly recommend - I feel like we need to plan a trip back to Orlando so we can use her again!

Deborah did a great job taking care of my Doberman! I can tell how much he’s bonded with her already!

I can't think of anyone else I would rather have take care of our dog. Deborah has demonstrated responsibility, knowledge, and care as she has looked after our pet. And that has resulted in Deborah being one of our dog's favorite people - she feels safe and comfortable with her.

I have been using Deborah Peterson as my pet sitter for 4 years now, and she is by far the best I have ever had. I have a dog with epilepsy, and is on 3 different medications to control his seizures. She is always diligent about giving him his meds in a timely manner. She takes him on several long walks every day, and enjoys having him interact with her own dogs and her cats. It's obvious that she loves animals and has made them a big part of her life. I enthusiastically recommend her as a pet caregiver for Rover! Employ her and you're getting the BEST there is! In addition, she's a very caring and accepting individual who would do anything for her friends! She loves animals, friends, and life!!

Deborah has watched my Shepherd Husky multiple times and I wouldn't trust anyone else. I think my dog loves her even more than me . Deb is kind and patient and knows a lot about dogs. Also very trustworthy. She is the best!

I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I have had cats for over 40 years and dogs for nine. My dogs are both Certified Therapy dogs, and have gone through a lot of training. I can administer pills to both cats and dogs. Dogs must get along with cats, if they are to board at my home, as I have two male kitties!
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.
