Pet care experience

Have your dog vacation with us!

I have been a dog mom for about 30 years. I grew up with cats, never had a dog, but my husband, Paul, turned me, away from the dark side, into a huge dog person (I still love cats but from afar). When we moved to Plymouth we had a horrible experience with a traditional kennel. I never want any other dogs to go through the anxiety that our dogs went through. We have a large 4 bedroom home for just the 2 of us and our housemate, Dan, and our 5 four legged furry kids. We have 3 Huskies, a Yorkie and a Pomeranian. All of our dogs do great with other dogs, they all love to run and play with friends. We have a large fenced in yard, about 3/4 of an acre. As safety precautions, we use chicken wire around the bottom to prevent digging under the fence and a Petsafe fence for jumpers, if your baby is trained to use an electric fence. If they are trained on a different system we have extra collars, if needed. There is a dog door so they can go out at their leisure. If they don't know how to use one your pups can learn by following ours out or I will let them out every couple of hours. Our Yorkie has seizures so I know how to care for dogs who need extra medical attention. He takes meds twice a day. So I am well versed in giving meds to dogs. He sometimes gets pancreatitis and needs subcutaneous fluids which I give him at home. I also know how to handle other dogs while one dog is having a medical issue. I also have a few dog guests who are diabetic and need insulin injections. So, I am versed in daily injections as well. Our dogs are part of the family and when your dog is here they are family too.

Deb was amazing! Was able to accommodate my pup last minute over a holiday weekend. She was very quick to communicate with me and has an amazing backyard for the dogs to run around in. Will definitely be using her again in the future!

Murphy is well cared for with Debra. It’s great for him to have all the interaction with the other dogs and her backyard is fantastic for running, playing and getting all the energy out! Debra is very responsive. Murphy will be back soon!

I board Marley with Debra and her pack for 10 days while I was on vacation. It was my first time booking with Debra and when I picked Marley up she was having so much fun I don’t think she wanted to leave. I will definitely book with Debra in the future.

Deb, was very professional and welcoming to myself and Luna. Her home is an extremely dog friendly and safe. Her yard is large enclosed by a large fence, with tons a space for any and all dogs to explore, play and just be a dog. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking for a safe, well organized dog friendly place to stay while away. I will be using Deb for all my future dog sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment

My guys will help your fur baby get comfortable, outside playing or inside napping. My husband and I will also throw a ball or fill the wading pool for everyone. I tend to dote on my dogs. And your dog will be treated as if they were my own.

Pets

A typical day

We consider our backyard to be our dog habitat. We play ball with them, we run with them and encourage them to play with each other. In the summer when it's hot we have kitty pools that we fill everyday so that there is always clean water to play in. And in the winter hopefully they like the snow. Because our huskies love it and get really playful.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Debra can host up to 3 pets per night
Because we have a Yorkshire Terrier and a Pomeranian your dog no matter what size will need to be able to get along with small dogs. And if you have a small dog they will need to get along with bigger dogs like our huskies. I do a meet and greet with all of my potential dog guests. This way we both know that our dogs get along. I will also need their actual rabies certificate and proof of receiving their bordetella vaccine (kennel cough). Both of these can be in electronic form or hard copies whichever is easier for you.
