Friends Call Me The Dog Whisperer

My name is Debra, and I reside in Normandy Park. Over the years, friends and family have entrusted their precious pets to my care because they trusted my abilities and knew that I would treat their pets with the utmost care and love. I am dependable, kind, and loving, and I would welcome your pet should he or she have special needs. I understand the importance of maintaining a schedule for your furry family member. Your pet will receive all the attention they need, whether it's walks, cuddles, or hugs.

Debra was great to work with and great communicator. Our frenchie, Nigel was very comfortable and happy to stay at her home.

Debra was one of the best people I have boarded with on rover. She was so flexible, communicative, and attentive. She also followed all instructions I provided. She was very patient with my sweet, but reactive dog who also has separation anxiety. She provided several updates, pictures/videos, took him on several trails/walks, and tried to make my dog feel at home while I was away. I highly recommend her for boarding!

Our pup LOVES her time with Debra! Communication is frequent and clear. She loves to share cute photos of walks and play and just laying around snuggling. So happy to have Debra as a Rover option when we need to get away.

We loved every bit about our experience with Debra! As a first time Rover user, we wanted to find a host locally that our Molly would love… and Debra nailed it! I’m pretty sure Molly didn’t want to leave! Long walks, daily photo and video sessions, positive open communication, snuggles! We scheduled a pre-visit to get acquainted and I was so thankful we did because it made the whole experience so much less stressful. We will definitely use Debra for our next Rover stay!

Mo and Starr loved Debra! We had Debra watch our two pups last weekend, and they came back so happy with their tales wagging. While we were away Debra made sure to give us updates and send us pictures multiple times a day. We felt extremely comfortable having them stay with her. One of our dogs (Mo) even learned how to use the doggy door while staying with Debra. Mo also became great buds with Debra’s dog Harlem, and he normally isn’t the most friendly guy. This is a huge indicator on how comfortable Mo was with Debra and Harlem. My older dog Starr even came back with a little pep her step, clearly she had a great time as well! I highly recommend Debra, and will definitely be asking her to watch Mo and Starr again. ❤️
