Information Debra Z. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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!

Debra was great. She took great care of Lola. She was easy to work with and updated me with pictures and videos the whole time she had Lola. I will for sure book with her again!

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.
