Deborah is a fantastic walker. Charlie warmed up to her almost immediately! We will definitely be rebooking.

We had an absolutely AMAZING experience with Deborah (Debbie) as our dog sitter! She took such incredible care of our dog, Hoops, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to trust while we were away. From day one, she was professional, reliable, and so thoughtful. She consistently left detailed notes and sent plenty of photos, which completely put our minds at ease and made us feel connected to Hoops the entire time. What really set her apart was how much she genuinely cares. She went above and beyond—often staying longer than expected just to make sure Hoops was happy and comfortable. It was so clear he was being showered with love and attention. She played with him, walked him, gave him tons of affection, and treated him like her own. Because of her, we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our vacation knowing Hoops was in the BEST hands. That peace of mind is priceless. We can’t recommend Debbie highly enough—she is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for everything she did for Hoops!

Debbie was excellent with Tad. She was on time and played with Tad and feed him as asked . Tad lived her and didn’t want to see her leave. Thank you so much Debbie and Rover. I would highly recommend Debbie.

House Sitting • Oct 19, 2025

Deborah was so good about sending us pictures and spending time with our dog Ethan. I felt confident that he was in good hands while we were gone. I would definitely ask her to take care of Ethan again.

Harper hates to be left alone but loves Deborah so I know he'll be okay when I'm away. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!

Schedule

After pet sitting on Rover for the past 4 years around Media, PA, My husband and I have recently retired to Ocean City and I'm looking for some new furry friends to care for. My schedule is very flexible, although as retirees we may be off somewhere fun at times and unavailable. I recently became an empty nester so I have some extra time on my hands to spend with your pets. I'm willing to do regular weekly dog walks, but up front disclosure - there will be times that I'll be away having fun somewhere. 😆

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Deborah can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or favorite toys or games to play. Also any things that might frighten them or that they don't like. And allergies or special rules that you adhere to for them.
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.
