Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher off for the summer!
I've cared for lots of dogs, and been a pet owner for 30+ years. I've taken care of the pets of family and friends of all sizes. I'm comfortable with elderly dogs and puppies. I will walk, play and feed your dogs to your specifications. I am also experienced with giving medications and pills to dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Debra was great with my two labs and was sure to send me a few pictures of them even though they were only with her for an overnight. As an overthinker/anxious dog mom that was really awesome and made for an even better experience. She was able to watch them on a pretty last minute basis too which was great. I definitely recommend booking with Debra- she’s the so sweet! 🐾
Debra was quick at responding and we enjoyed her cute updates and pictures!
Great experience!
Deb is just the best sitter for my dog Pepe. She’s kind, caring, soft spoken, and he snuggles with her as if he were home! I feel so lucky to have found such an awesome caretaker for my little boo!😁🥰
I always feel confident that when I leave Buttons with Debra she will loved and we'll taken care of. Thank you Debra, you're the greatest.
She’s kind, soft hearted, easy going…and my dog loves her!!

Schedule
I am a school teacher with my weekends and summers free. I mostly stick around home so I can keep a close eye on your pet. I can easily accommodate any potty schedule and your pet will never be left unattended out in the yard. If you are planning a long vacation this summer, now is the time to begin planning who will care for the dog. 🐕
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard across from a scenic park with miles of walking paths. I'm about 15 minutes north of Sioux Falls. I do have a cat, who, once she is introduced to your pet, is pretty indifferent. I can crate your pet, or set up a comfy bed. I've had visiting dogs on the bed as well, depending on what they are used to or their anxiety level. I have room for 1-3 dogs and can partition them off separate from each other and keep them in certain areas of the house using wooden gates if they mark, are prone to accidents, or don't get along.
Pets
A typical day
We usually take a couple walks to the park across the street. We also spend monitored time outside in the yard. If your dog enjoys toys I will play fetch or chase with them. We usually spend a lot of time chilling together during the summer.
