Pet care experience
I have been a dog mom for about 25 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 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. Two of our girls, the huskies, are not spayed, so we don't take boys that are not neutered. 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. Our dogs are part of the family and when your dog is here they will be too.
Reviews
Debra capably cared for our corgi over five days and I would not hesitate to engage her again as the need arises.
My two dogs had a great experience here and I will absolutely recommend Deb's home. She's organized and experienced and she loves the dogs in her care!
Coach's stay went great and he was well take care of. He had plenty of company to play with while he was there. Debra was great and sent pictures throughout his stay with her.
Murphy was happy to see us and come home. It's as if he had not been away, which is perfect! He had plenty of room to roam in Debra's yard and to sleep wherever he wanted. Murphy usually takes a while to warm up to people, but if he leans into you when you are standing, of course he wants his butt scratched but that also means, he likes you and trusts you. We'll see Debra again, I am sure.

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 to play with everyone. I tend to dote on my dogs. And your dog will be treated as if they were my own.

Information Debra A. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.
