Highlights
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We would like to thank Debra for her professionalism and found her very pleasant to deal with. She took great care of our dog. He seemed to have had a fun time, well taken care of and happy when he left. This is the first time we have used Debra and we will bring our dog back with no hesitation. We will recommend Debra to other dog owners. Thank you, Chris
Deb is incredibly professional and caring toward my 11 year old husky. I highly trust her to watch after my pup!
Debra took excellent care of Dexter while I was away! He came home exhausted and happy!
I was very grateful to get my dog Bodhi in last minute over the 4th of July long weekend. Debra was kind in taking in another dog and seemed very comfortable with all the dogs! I’ll book with her again next time I go away
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!

Schedule
I am home all day so I can play and care for your dog. I have the availability to be as flexible and as accommodating as your schedule requires.

Home characteristics
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.

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.
