Availability

I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet.

Information Deborah P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I usually like to schedule a time for us to meet and go over the dogs routine, before the day you leave. This gives you and I a chance to meet each other, but also gives the dog a chance to meet me while they are in a comfortable environment are saves some anxiety when meeting someone new. Thank you.

A typical day

First thing I do is start a cup of coffee, for myself, feed the dog and make breakfast. I then usually take the dog for a walk. This all depends on the dogs regular schedule and the instructions that the owners have left for me and things we have discussed prior. I usually work a 6- 8hr day. I would come home, take the dog for a walk and then feed them their evening meal. I would let the dog out or, if there is not a fenced in back yard go outside one more time, before going to sleep.

Deborah stayed with our almost 14 year old dog for two weeks. She was a great communicator, asked questions when needed, and sent daily photos. She kept a consistent routine including administering medication and two walks a day. What a relief to know that Dandy was well cared for while we were away for so long!

I hired Deborah to house sit and care for my senior and young adult dogs and she provided great care for them with love. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it for Deborah. I will definitely use Deborah again and highly recommend her!
