Sittin Pretty with Paul & Debs!

Pet care experience

NOTE: The adorable golden you see in our profile (sadly) does NOT live with us. I am handling her Rover bookings for a few weeks and needed to add her to our profile in order to perform searches. We continue to offer our same solo family boarding We have extensive experience with so many breeds and temperaments and behavioral issues. This is why we only take one dog family at a time. We want every dog to have a loving staycation while their owners are away, and we find it very rewarding to turn even the most standoffish pet into our new best friend. Along with dogs, we have cared for cats, birds, bunnies, fish, frogs and even a pot bellied pig! We are experienced in pilling, insulin injections, ear rub med administration, liquid meds, etc. We’re very observant for out of the ordinary behavior & although we have no vet training, our observations have led a couple clients to a vet diagnosis and treatment of a unknown issue. We hope you’ll choose us to drop in, walk, feed, water, medicate, clean boxes, feed live crickets to, play and cuddle with your pets so you can go on vacay without worry. We’ll send you pics & updates & will probably photoshop your pets into silly scenes to amuse you 🙃 ———— To meet the growing needs of behavioral issues due to stay at home measures plus the growing number of rescued pets, Debbie has begun a path towards puppy/dog behavioral training and certification.

Debs and Paul are excellent communicators, flexible, and reliable. We've worked with them for drop-by visits and plan to do house-sitting in the future. Highly recommended!

Debbie took great care of our 3 cats. With regular photo updates we saw that she had bonded with the cats making us not only miss them more but making us feel that they were in good hands. Thank you Debbie and we look forward to booking again soon.

Information Debs & Paul G. would like to know about your pet

If there are house breaking issues and whether they mark. If they do, housesitting might be a better option than boarding but we’ll discuss case by case. No breed restrictions, we are well experienced with all breeds & temperaments, hence we board only one dog fam at a time. Which also means we get "challenging dogs". We are very experienced with all degrees of behavioral issues and get satisfaction making us their BFF,s.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We walk your dog around our neighborhood where there is very little traffic or use our SUVs for field trips. Your pups are allowed anywhere in our house and on rainy days, we throw balls down the hallway or move all the furniture aside to give them plenty of room to play. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he wants! If your dog is not allowed on the furniture at your home, then he will have to follow the same rules with us so we don't send dogs home with any bad habits. Otherwise, the sofas, the floor, or they are welcome to sleep on our bed with us, which, is what usually happens. Your dog will be cuddled, loved, played with, and treated as if they are our own. The biggest concern you will have with us is whether or not your dog wants to go home with your, or prefers to stay with us! :)
