Information Deborah P. would like to know about your pet

I am a kind, active and mature individual who will pay attention to what your pet likes and does not like. My routine will provide your pet structure so they know what to expect in their day. I will send pictures so you will know your pet is having fun on any particular day.

A typical day

After breakfast I will spend time outside with your dog and mine in my fenced in back yard. They will have time to explore scents, chase a ball and frolic with my dog Sophie. If I have no yard activities planned your dog will go for a walk around the neighborhood or in downtown Hallowell. Afterwards your dog will have some inside time to rest and regroup. The afternoon will be a repeat our morning routine, some outside time/walk or play and receive attention and affection. Evening is usually rest time in my home for the animals. Your dog can be safely let out at any time for a potty break.

Pet care experience

I have house trained puppies, taught behavioral basics and provided a healthy balance between exercise and rest periods. Most importantly I have learned to listen to dogs as they communicate through behavior. Being there for dog is not enough, they need acknowledgment and attention.

I just collected Max from an overnight stay with Deborah. She clearly took good care of him and gave him plenty of love. It is obvious that she loves all dogs!

Deborah took our two bichons after last minute changes to our moving day. We could t have been more grateful. Dogs clearly had a wonderful time. They came back relaxed and happy!
