Debra has been absolutely wonderful with our pup. We have always felt at ease with her watching him while we are out of town, and he always seems excited to return whenever we pull into her driveway.

Debra was amazing with Kali while I was gone. It was my first time being away this long, and I wasn’t sure how Kali would do. As she’s super affectionate and sensitive. But Debra kept her happy and gave me peace of mind with every update. Thank you all so much!

Debra is Bellingham’s best dog sitter! She was so communicative and wonderful with our pup. We loved how she welcomed Toby into her home, and he had the best time playing with her sweet dog, River. Her calm and caring nature shines through the moment you meet her. We also appreciated all the photo updates, it gave us so much peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of Toby!

My dog Aurora has had trouble adapting to some boarding facilities as we've been moving around a lot the last two years, but she seemed to get comfortable right from the meet and greet with Debra (and River). Very happy with how things went while I was away!
