Information Debra M. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any specific breed preference. My only request is that the dog/dogs are less than 50 pounds and not aggressive. I would like to meet your dog at least once to get to know him/her before I take care of him or her. I believe it’s also good for your pet to be in my yard so when they come back they feel comfortable.

A typical day

I will feed, walk and play with your dog. Their safety is my number one concern and fun & bonding follows. Please leave a detailed list of their regular routine, likes and dislikes.

Pet sitting with love

Pet care experience

If you're like me, your pets are important family members and you want only the best for them. How can you go away and have peace of mind, if you are worried about your furry family member? If I am coming to your home, I will come to your home and feed, walk and/or play with your dog. I will also collect your mail, water plants and even do light yardwork. I am a certified dog trainer and can work with your dog on certain behavioral issues. I am semi-retired. I teach health classes, part time, at local fitness and wellness centers. I also offer complimentary services: screening therapy dogs to see if they meet the criteria to become service dogs. Please let me know if you would like your dog to be evaluated as a possible service dog. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. Debra May

Debra took great care of our 4 year old Doodle for an extended trip. She updated us with regular photos and videos of his stay and the dog buddies he played with there. Highly recommend.

Debra is incredible and our dogs loved her! She was very accommodating and flexible with my busy work schedule and communicated quick! We are so happy to have found the right person to watch our fur babies!💕

Would leave 6 stars if I could. I love dogs but Debra makes me look like a cat person. She has a wonderful set up for dogs and genuinely cares about the dogs she is caring for. My dog, who isn’t the most adventurous, was very comfortable with Debra. I highly recommend her without reservation.

Our dog had a fantastic time during her stay with Debra and her pups. Debra has a great system for hosting, and our dog came home happy and tired from ample playtime. Debra provided consistent communication and pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend.
