Pet care experience

I want to pet all the pups!

I have loved dogs since I was an infant. My grandmother had a golden retriever named Whiskey, and my love for her was the beginning of a lifelong adoration of dogs! When I was in high school, my dad bred labs who were trained to be service dogs. I have a ton of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently have two dogs (my babies), both chihuahua mixes, who absolutely love to play with other dogs! I live in a home with a fully fenced yard. My dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in the bed with me, and yours can, too! My main goal is to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible while s/he is away from home! Also, I am a student and work from home, so I will be available for your pet 24/7 while s/he's staying with me and my fur babies! I am also pet first aid/CPR certified and have all of the equipment necessary in case of an emergency, so your pet will be safe and in great hands while s/he is with me. I am a doctoral student and my coursework is all online, so I am home all day. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and snuggle with your pet! I live in a home with a fenced yard, so your pup will be safe to go outside whenever he/she needs to go potty. I am also pet cpr and first aid trained, have experience with senior dogs, and am able to safely administer medication if needed. Your pet will be safe with me!

Very nice lady. Khloe liked her a lot. Very short visit. I would use her again if our schedules worked.

Debra has been AMAZING with my baby! Would highly recommend her to watch over yours. She is very knowledgable and kind, and doesn't mind cleaning up a mess or two. Thank you for all your love!!

Debra was so awesome with my pup! Sending pic letting me know all is good. She had lots of toys already so I didn’t have to bring any. I would NOT use anyone else except Debra!!!!!! Thanks Debra for taking care of Chloe for her first time away ?
