Pet care experience

Your pet will feel loved!

When it comes to our pet's separation from us, it can be stressful, for your pet and you, the owner. I am here to make your fur baby feel comfortable, loved and cared for until your return. For this reason, it shows on Rover that I take 2 pets which show up as 2 bookings on the calendar, BUT I only take 2 pets in the same family. Rest assured, if you need me for Daycare or Boarding, I will not accept any other cats or dogs for that stay. I want your fur baby to get my undivided attention and love! Having grown up with many animals from the time I was born, to when my husband and myself rescued our first pet, our cat, then after she crossed the rainbow bridge we rescued a dog, then a couple of years later another dog, we raised our pets from their puppy/kitty stage through their senior years. You can feel confident in leaving your pet at our home, with my many years of experience and love for animals. Our cat crossed the rainbow bridge 18 years ago and our dogs crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019 and 2021. With me now having plenty of time on my hands and my undivided attention to your pet, I am available to shower yours with love, take on long walks and teach new tricks. I am close to downtown, Belltown, SLU and Queen Anne with 4 parks within .25 miles and 3 more within .5 mile from my home. Lots for me and your pet to see, smell, experience, enjoy the day and have fun.

Wonderful time for Hazel and great communication throughout as usual. Debra is so loving and careful with all of Hazel’s needs. She is a treasure.

Our dog loves staying with Debra! She is so thorough with her care and sends lots of pictures. You know your dog is being well cared for when they're with Debra. Always our #1 pick for a dogsitter!

Sally had a great time staying with Debra, as always! She was on two medications and had some special dietary needs, and Debra took care of these with no problems. I loved getting all the photos of what they did each day. Debra truly takes care of Sally like she’s a member of the family. I never worry at all when Sally is with her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Sally!

Honestly, Hazel thinks of Debra’s place as another home. She is so mutually bonded to Debra’s family that we really feel very comfortable having her stay there. This time she needed daily medication for a tummy upset and Debra managed it perfectly. We are grateful for the loving care she gets with Debra.

Debra takes excellent care of my pup! I know she genuinely cares about Sally, and that’s so important. I never worry about Sally when she stays with Debra. Thank you so much!

We have available, but you are welcome to bring: beds, blankets, crates, favorite toys, treats or any other items your pet needs to feel comfortable. Just let me know any feeding, walking, potty or any other schedule, or needs your pet has (such as being scared of thunder, etc) and I am more than happy to keep those schedules and meet any of your pets needs.

A typical day

Living in a nice and quiet neighborhood, your pet and I will have a great time exploring and playing in our large home, large fenced backyard ("did someone say fetch?"), enjoying the fresh air sitting on our backyard swing, playing and learning new things and taking walks to the 4 different parks within .25 mile or the 3 other parks within .5 miles from my home. We will have a great time exploring and playing.

It is important to know your pet's vet information, any past illness or current concerns, your pet's feeding, walking and sleeping schedule, any food sensitivities or allergies, any fears or anxieties, likes or dislikes, favorite toys and treats, or any other routines, as well as how your pet may react to any animal we may see on walks.
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.
