Information Deborah R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medical needs or behaviors which may need accommodation. All breeds and ages are welcome, please don't hesitate to introduce your pup!

A typical day

A typical day with me would be a balanced blend of healthy exercise and creative playtime. Walks are tailored to fit you and your pets needs, and can be as structured or pet directed as is needed. We may explore the two large parks near my home, and add stimulating games, puzzles and training (if desired) to engage your pets mind. We will also share some unstructured time for relaxation, grooming and healthy meals per your specifications.

Let's make life a walk in the park!

Pet care experience

Hello, is your furry friend in need of long walks and dynamic play time? Are you concerned about the difficulty of administering medications or medical injections at home? Allow me to be the one to put my years of both personal and professional experience to work for your baby! I am devoted to tailoring my approach to fit you and your pets needs. In play, walks, and feeding I strive to blend consistency, thoroughness and creativity into our time together. With my years of experience working at a local Veterinary Hospital I can assist in monitoring your dog for early warning signs of illness and can share general insights I have gained in my work alongside Vets and technicians. Until our next walk, happy trails!

I have two rescue dogs (FMD and jindo) that lean on the anxious side when it comes to new people and new places. My jindo especially, so much so that he is on daily Prozac. That being said, I am very careful about who I entrust to care for them while I am away. I was happy with Deborah's care as she seemed to empathize and provide me with plenty of updates with photos to ensure I had a good idea of how the dogs were doing, and she did not seem phased or inconvenienced about their anxiety. Physical AND emotional safety are top priorities of mine when I leave my dogs to someone elses care and I felt Deborah met those. Thank you!

Hiro was so well cared for with Deborah! Deborah was incredibly reliable and an excellent communicator. Hiro got plenty of walks and lots of play time. I also really appreciate the thoughtfulness in giving him a bath and a trim. Thank you for going above and beyond!
