Pet care experience

I'm looking forward to loving. cuddling and playing with your pup. I love all animals, especially dogs! Having raised three German Shepherds, I have plenty of experience. I've even taken in a stray cat or two. I'm a retired Medical Secretary from the University of Rochester Medical Center who is looking forward to caring for your dog. My yard is fenced in. Your pup will enter the yard through an attached garage, so there is no chance of him/her getting loose. I am available year round. My rate is $45 per day. I give a $20.00 discount for your second dog so the amount for two dogs would be $70.00 per day. Arrival and pick up times are flexible. I charge for each day your pup is here since every day is reserved for your pup and I only watch one pup family at a time.

Debra was wonderful! My blue heeler loved staying with her! He is a bit clingy to me so I was worried leaving him, but he was quite comfortable with Debra. She sent me pictures and ensured me he was doing great throughout the stay. I would absolutely recommend Debra for boarding. My dog was well taken care of.

We used Debra for the first time and everything was perfect. Our dog usually has anxiety but it was clear he took to Debra immediately. She has great experience and a perfect home for pets. When I picked Finley up from his overnight stay, it was clear he was relaxed and had a great night. Thank you for everything.

Debra was wonderful to my two babies Gemma and Gio. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter since we rescued them and were not sure how they would do. She was communicative and gave me piece of mind while we were away. Looking forward to using her again!

We gratefully appreciate Debra accepting our sit upon our return to Rochester from a cross country drive beginning in California. It was a lot for the pups. Debra was trouper with Ava particularly who arrived at an unfamiliar setting. Cleary the stay caused Ava anxiety because she made several messes and was clearly out of sorts. Debra was very understanding and clearly communicated all that we. needed to know. I'm sure that Ava will be back to her old self in no time. Thank you Debra for taking a chance on us. we're sorry it wasn't a more successful sit.
