About: I have a deep love for dogs and 25 years of experience caring for them. I can assist with training, administer medications as needed, and ensure your pet receives plenty of exercise, attention, and loving care. "As a work-from-home professional, I have ample time and a genuine love for animals. I offer a variety of pet care services, including boarding, home sitting, daycare, walks, and playtime, available on both weekdays and weekends." I'm flexible and can adapt to your dog's specific care needs. To ensure a safe environment for all, dogs will remain on a leash on my 3-acre property unless they are exceptionally well-trained off-leash. Please let me know if you'd like to include walks on Bay Beach, the beach, or at a dog run in your dog's care plan.
“Deb is awesome. She walked my Shih Tzu each day for 30 minutes each day after I recently moved and started a new job. It was a confusing time for my dog and my family and Deb has been reliable and a great help during this transition. She keeps Bingo happy, calm and comfortable during her dog walking visits. I highly recommend Deb!”

Carol R.Star Sitter
“Carol and has been a friend and employee for over two years and she has been not only an exemplary pet owner of her own dog, but cares for my dog and cat as well, both at the workplace and in my/her home. She greets every dog that comes into work or on the street with a smile, back scratches and treats (when allowed). My own pets run to her first thing in the morning and then proceed to follow her around all day. Sadly, Carol lost her own wonderful dog this year due to a terminal illness and she has so much love left to give other people's pets. I've never hesitated to use her services when I have to go out of town and my pets are happy and healthy when I return.”

Nicole K.
“Nikki is an invaluable companion/caretaker to our ten year old Westie, Daisy, and our sixteen year old Maine Coon, Luciano. Whenever we ask her to stop by our home to walk, feed, play with Daisy, and just make sure she is ok, Nikki does so with kindness, gentleness, and the utmost care. She, also, ever so readily, will come by to check on, feed, pet Luciano, and, of course, take care of his litter box. Her interactions with our pets always puts our minds at ease when we are away. She lets us know how they are doing, and any changes she notices in their behaviors and habits. We are grateful for Nikki because we don't have to worry when our pets are in her care. She knows that our pets are family members, and she gives them the enthusiastic attention they deserve. She loves to share her time with the animals and you will be impressed with her level of dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend Nikki to care for your pets.”
