Professional Pet Care Services

Offering Top Quality Professional Pet Care Services. Including TRAINING, walking, RECURRING PLAY TIME DROP IN VISITS. I have knowledge of and experience with many different species including HORSES, dogs, CATS, RABBITS, donkeys, CHICKENS, FISH, reptiles, PIGS, turtles. With instruction I can handle any species, any size, any age ! I take care of your pets AT YOUR HOME while you are away. This is a GREAT way to keep your pets SAFE and HAPPY and a better alternative to taking your pet to someone's house-less stress for them, less worry for you. Please consider this option instead of boarding. I treat each home as though it is a multi million dollar mansion and treated as such. Each precious soul I care for is sacred and treated like royalty when in my care. I have 2 nanny cams that I can use to monitor your home even when I am not there. I have a FURBO that allows me to talk to and treat your pets if they get agitated or just to let them know i am thinking about them. For $20 extra I will program these cameras on to your mobile device so you can use them too and watch me interact with your pets when I come and go. I also carry 2 stun guns so if any threat comes by your pets I will be able to fend them off. Consider me their personal body guard! HIRE ME TO COME AND WALK YOUR DOG/SPEND TIME WITH YOUR PETS WHILE YOU ARE AT WORK DURING THE WEEK! For people who work and are concerned with having their dog alone for hours I do "drop ins" which means I come in and exercise and play with your pets-this benefits any pet-not just dogs but rabbits, cats, horses, donkeys. I am knowledgeable in ground work, lunging, and liberty training horses and donkeys to keep them tame. Book me for a couple of days a week or every day. It is a great way to make sure your pets have positive interaction and stay active while you are at work. I am a professional trainer with experience with puppies to senior dogs-yes, they can learn too. I specialize in house manners, impulse control, and problem solving-much more then simple obedience training. I got started pet sitting because everyone knows how much I love my pets so when friends would go out of town I was the first person they would think of to have take care of them and it blossomed from there. I am passionate about providing quality animal care-your pets well being is my number one concern. I LOVE BIG DOGS- and am confident in my handling of them. I have cared for multiple dogs well over 100 lbs in the same home-which takes experience and focus to do competently. I have helped find lost dogs that were over a mile away from home in a rural area. Have had rabbits for many years, cared for ferrets, hamsters, and turtles and fish and am a specialist in the area of small exotic pets. I am First Aid & CPR Certified, able to give oral medications, care for special needs, and have experience with very young and very senior dogs. During visits I pet and show affection, play with, walk, observe their behavior to make sure they are doing well, make sure they potty and will even scoop up after them if their area is normally scooped, feed, water, give treats, groom. By careful observation I have caught illnesses and saved lives by getting pets to the vet before things got serious. I actually love sitting on the floor with them as much as running around the yard playing chase or fetch. Yes, I do that and look like I'm 12 years old doing it but I think it's great fun! Whatever they want to do is fine with me. I stay updated reading the latest books and articles on animal behavior, training, and care. I am up on the latest innovations and information. I AM AN EXPERIENCED TRAINER. So next time you are going away and need your pet taken care of call me. Part of being a good pet parent is making sure your pet is cared for when you're away.

Deborah took fantastic care of my two cats, including one which requires twice daily medicine. Deborah was responsive throughout the process and all around great to work with! She provided pictures and updates with each visit. I arrived home to clean water bowls, clean litter boxes, and happy healthy cats! I'll be contacting Deborah for any future catsitting needs.

This was my first pet sitting experience with Deborah and it was wonderful. She went above and beyond to take care of all my family pets - dogs, cat, and lots of fish. Deborah communicated often to let me know that status of my pets and get necessary information to improve the care for my pets. (She even noticed that my outside plants were needing water from the heat and gave them a drink. Deborah also did an emergency visit based on a communication that I received later (no cell service where I was). I will definitely use her services again.

What is your dogs personality like? Are there certain things that it doesn't like that will cause it to snap at me? Is it aggressive with other dogs, or people? Is it neutered or spayed? Size? Favorite activities? Does it play fetch? Know any tricks? Favorite toy? Doggy door? Where does it like to poop? Any health conditions I should be aware of?
