Walks to the Park, Huge Yard & Love

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 was the best! Our pup had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with the other dogs and was relaxed at the house sitters. She provided updates for us, photos and videos as needed! Will definitely book again!

Debra helped us out with a last minute booking and I could not be happier with her services. She treated Rufus as one of her own and sent many pic updates!! Highly recommend her if you’re looking for a new sitter.

Debra was so amazing to work with! She was extremely responsive from the get go, and was very accommodating when we needed someone to watch our 3 month old puppy. She was patient and understanding, and very calm and professional. She sent photos and videos throughout the weekend and was very flexible with pick up and drop off time. I 100% recommend Debra and look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Our dog had a great time for a one week stay with Debra. She even gave him eye drops that he needed.

Pets

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.

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!
