Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm single home | former groomer
Quiet, peaceful home where dogs stay close, feel safe, and enjoy personalized one-on-one care. With decades of experience, I specialize in gentle handling, consistent routines, enrichment, and low-stress stays—especially for senior dogs and those with special care needs. Your dog will receive plenty of potty breaks, walks, individualized attention, and a balance of playtime, quiet time, and restful naps. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make each stay calm, comfortable, and stress-free. I'm especially well-suited for calm, adult, and senior dogs who thrive in a peaceful home environment with consistent routines.

Ratings and reviews
Deborah is a phenomenal pet sitter! This is the second time we’ve had the joy of hiring Debbie to watch our sweet Luna while we were away on a trip and her care, service, and attentiveness is always unbeatable. Debbie reached out before the stay to make sure she was full prepared and up to date on all of Luna’s needs and preferences to create the perfect stay. She makes sure to always keep an open line of communication and sends regular pup-dates and photos. Debbie always goes the extra mile as a sitter to not only be great company and essential caregiver for your pet, but to make sure they have multiple options of clean and comfortable beds around so you pet can choose where THEY feel best. I love that Debbie spends time outdoors with Luna exploring trails, playing, and sun bathing; she also makes sure to take care of Luna’s paws and gives her brushings and treats… it really is so nice to know that while I’m away having fun, Luna is enjoying her own wellness getaway! It’s taken away all the guilt of having to leave Luna behind knowing how well cared for she is. ❤️ Thank you Debbie! Until next time! 🐾
If I could give a ten star review I would!!! Deborah was so wonderful with my 17 and a half year old pug/feist little guy. She went the extra five miles taking care of him. I have never felt more at ease leaving him anywhere. He has anxiety issues as well as health issues. She did everything she could in making him feel at home, safe and at peace while tending to his eating and health needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!
