Pet care experience

We board one family at a time!

I grew up with cats and dogs in the home. We currently do not have any pets of our own and my husband is allergic to cats therefore I only do drop-ins for cats. We are big fans of big dogs who love to cuddle. I started pet sitting for a neighbor whos cat requires insulin twice a day and that lead me to Rover. Last by not least I only board one family or pack at a time. I will make an exception if you and a friend or family member commonly have your pups together and you know they get along without any issue.

FANTASTIC!!! We received lots of updates on Ruby's activities, how she was settling into her new space and interacting with everyone. I'm an information Mom so receiving the detailed information Debra shared definitely eased my anxiety of leaving her for a long weekend. Ruby made herself right at home and was happy at pick up. Thankful to have found such a loving and positive soul to watch over our fur baby.

Debra is the most amazing dog sitter ever. We have used her multiple times and will keep coming back as long as she allows us to. I wouldn’t want to send my sometimes very difficult/anxious dog to anyone else because I trust her completely. She treats my dog like one of her own kids and I appreciate how much care she shows towards her every time she watches her. Thank you so much Debra!!

I can’t say enough good things about Debra. She was AMAZING. Communicated with me often throughout her stay, sent pictures and loved my baby like I would. I was nervous to leave her with someone else for the first time but Debra made me feel comfortable. Thanks so much Debra!!

Debra was very communicative and friendly. She introduced me to her sweet kids when we did the meet and greet, and our dog Lola immediately took to all of them and their great backyard. Debra sent plenty of pictures while we were gone so we could tell Lola was loving life!

We will tailor the activities to your fur babies preferences. I love to run so we could go for a run or just stay home and give belly rubs.
