Information Deborah S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs or quirks that your pet has, and I will accommodate them. Tell me their typical day with you, and what makes them happy.

A typical day

Pet care experience

According to my mom, I started bringing home dogs at 3 years old. Since I lost my last dog several years ago (pittie named Brisket), I’ve been doing a lot of travelling. I enjoy looking after others’ pets now, and treating them as if they were my own. Experienced with giving meds to senior pups and kitties.

Deborah was amazing with our pets while we were away on vacation. She sent us pictures of them and communicated regularly while we were gone. The house was spotless when we got home and we could tell our dog was in love with her when returned. Deborah is a totally pro and very responsible - which was exactly what we needed to be able to relax while we were away.
