Please let me know of any specific behavior or special needs for your fur-baby. It's essential to the mutual enjoyment of your time together, thanks.

A typical day

I believe in a balanced day, mixed with cuddles and play, peppered with tons of positive affirmations. Animals can understand more than we give them credit for.

Pet care experience

I volunteer at Desert Haven Animal Rescue which entails in-depth care of canines and felines of all ages. I've rescued (or did they rescue me) 5 dogs over the past 30 years. Each one was a true blessing and lived a to be seniors with a quality life. Currently, I have a Westie Mix that is my North Star. Last year she was diagnosed with Epilepsy so I am comfortable administering medication. PLEASE NOTE: IF I'M OVERNIGHT PET SITTING IN YOUR HOME, LIL' BIT WILL NEED TO STAY ALSO. WE WILL DO A MEET AND GREET PRIOR TO ACCEPTING THE REQUEST TO CONFIRM COMPATIBILITY AND SAFETY FOR ALL PETS. IF I'M PET SITTING IN MY HOME, I WILL NEED TO VERIFY YOU ARE THE OWNER OF THE PET.

Debra has a way with dogs! She is intuitive and gentle, fiercely protective, yet playful. I highly recommend her for proper care of your dogs! She is on the books regularly for my two little pups.

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.
