SNOW WHITE OF DOG WALKING
Pet care experience
I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel, amongst a variety of household pets~ mothered my sisters Jack Russell, my French Bulldog, my boyfriends Husky and English Bulldog. I am a modern day Snow White with animals, a dog whisperer of all breeds. Unable to have children, my pets are my babies, my life. I am good with bathing, teeth cleaning, nail trimming, bottle feeding. Nurturing your pet while you are away, leaving your loved one never bored or lonely and begging for more visits!
Reviews
Debra has been a joy to watch with both dogs and cats for all the years I've known her. She's been devoted to our French Bulldog and trained Lola to respond to a myriad of instructions and behaviors, and was vigilant about feeding and exercise, as well as good health practices. We've witnessed her lengthy and careful introduction of a second kitten into a household ruled by an imperious Egyptian cat--successfully, Debra's patience and empathy for animals extends to caring for any foundering creature in need of help. She's a hiker accustomed to long walks with high energy. Debra would be a kind and dependable caregiver and walker for any pet.
I can’t say enough great things about our dog walker, Debra. We have had two high-spirited Jack Russell Terriers over the years and Deb has been an excellent influence on both of them! Debra is so kind-hearted and caring with all living creatures, but she has particularly been great with our rambunctious terriers. She has known both our JRTs from the time they were puppies. She even took Josie in for a year when we were building our house and couldn’t take her to our rental. We knew she’d be in good hands with Deb! Watching her walk, play and care for Josie as she became a slower, geriatric dog was very dear. She knew how to properly handle her as she couldn’t get around as well in her old age. She has been just as loving and caring to our new JRT, Poppy, who suffers from impulse control issues and isn’t very good on a leash. She is firm but kind with her and is able to walk her even as she gets riled up from other leashed dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone as a dog walker, she is a caring and dependable animal lover and knows how to handle all temperaments - in dogs and people alike!
Debra is an extremely attentive and diligent caretaker. She shows a great amount of care and love for even the most challenging dogs. Our dog, Daisy had a bad habit of rushing to the door and trying to escape and Debra helped us work with her to address her behavior issues in a patient way. Daisy loves Debra and acomes home calmer and content. Debra is well organized and punctual and extremely trustworthy with our pup. We would highly recommend working with Debra.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that need to be accounted for. Food or environmental allergies. Temperament around other dogs. Any behavior I need to be aware of.
A typical day
I like to offer a stimulating experience both physically and mentally for your pup. Ideally take him/ her on a hike if they’re active and up for it, let them play at the park if they desire interaction or long walks around the neighborhood, taking in the many scents. If they prefer the indoors, plenty of belly rubs and toy tossing.
