Information Debra P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or behavioral traits I should be aware of to ensure their comfort and safety. I welcome all breeds and temperaments, but it’s helpful to know their energy level, socialization preferences, and any quirks that make them unique. Whether they need extra cuddles, medication, or a quiet space, I’m happy to accommodate their needs!

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active, both physically and mentally. We start the day with a refreshing walk, allowing them to take in new smells and enjoy the outdoors. Throughout the day, we play engaging games, work on basic training if needed, and enjoy plenty of love and attention. We also take trips to a big park near my home for extra fun and socialization. With unlimited access to my fenced yard, they’ll have plenty of space to roam, play, and relax at their own pace.

Pet care experience

Dogs have been my family since the day I was born! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and training a Husky, Samoyed, Akita, and now my two incredible Shih Tzu-Poodles, Cosmo and Tycho, and Argo a Giant Schauzer puppy. Every one of them has been trained with love, and I truly believe nothing gives purer love than a dog. Cosmo, our 17 year-old pup, is full of life, you wouldn’t even be able to tell his age! He loves meeting new friends, and we have a great yard where dogs can enjoy unlimited playtime in a safe and fun environment. My favorite part of the day is our daily walks to the park, where we get fresh air, exercise, and plenty of tail wags. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I’ve also volunteered at shelters, giving love and care to those in need. I understand how important it is to find a sitter who treats your pet like family—that’s exactly what I offer. We also speak five languages—Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, and Slovak—so we can easily communicate with both dogs and their humans from all backgrounds. Every birthday party of celebration includes our friends pets! I can’t wait for Cosmo to meet his new neighbors and for your pup to join our little dog-loving family! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon!

Debra took wonderful care of our Bailey while we were away. She truly cares about the dogs she watches and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing our pup was in great hands. We highly recommend Debra and would gladly book with her again!

My husband and were in Denver foe some music at Red Rocks, hiking, museum lurking, etc. we brought our two older dogs who quickly revealed were not into hiking Our VRBO owner recommended Rover and we luckily found Debra ! She made friends easily with our reserved older pups and gave us a great sense of security leaving our pups in her care! She kept us updated with photos which was very reassuring. We were extremely pleased and will definitely use Debra again and again and ….. thank you so very much !

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
