Dog Lover and Dog Trainer

I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too.

Debra was absolutely great with our pup. He came home happy and relaxed. She also texted regular updates with photos which are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much! We will definitely come back.

I was a little nervous about leaving my dog anywhere but Debra was amazing! I knew when I visited before I booked that she absolutely loves dogs. I received lots and lots of photos, texts updating me on how my dog is doing. She had fun, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you very much Debra!

Amazing!! Debbie is fantastic! She got back to me immediately regarding boarding my dog last minute. She worked wonders with my 2yr old American Bulldog. Highly recommend and will be using again on a regular basis. Thank you so much!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

Pets

A typical day

I am retired so I am home almost all the time. I love taking dogs for walks in my lovely shaded neighborhood. I have a secure yard and my gate is always locked so your dog is safe behind a six foot privacy fence. There is a lovely dog park less than a 1/2 mile away and I take my dog there at least once a day. There is a small and large dog area.

The more information you give me, the better I can cater to your dogs needs. I have taken care of puppies to senior dogs. I love all dogs and am able to keep active dogs busy. My yard is full of interesting smells and stimulation. A busy dog is a happy dog.
