I knew Debora was the right person to care for Cindy when I brought her to Debora's house to introduce the two of them. Debora had taken steps ahead of time to insure that Cindy did not get into an unsafe situation. Debora understands that a healthy cat cannot resist an open door of any kind. Debora let Cindy explore. She recognized Cindy's reactions to this unfamiliar environment. Debora was relaxed and patient. She quickly understood Cindy's personality. Debora was thorough in asking about Cindy's health. Debora is alert to nuances in behavior that may indicate a health issue in a cat. When I picked up Cindy after this her first stay, Debora commented on Cindy's vigorous, even startling, purring. Yes, that is Cindy when she is contented. I am pleased to have found such a fine caregiver for Cindy. I have already booked for two more stays with more coming up. Thank you, Debora!

Laura provided great care for my pup for a couple of days while we were traveling--doing boring people stuff--in her area; we received a happy (and tired) pooch at the conclusion of her stay. Would definitely book again!

Deborah is awesome! She loves my Harley as much as I do, and takes super great care of him. I have used her for about a year and 1/2, maybe longer. She almost always can take him at the last minute, which is perfect for me because I'm not very organized, lol. Thank you Deborah!🤩🥰

About: I enjoy spending time outside walking and playing with dogs. I believe physical and mental stimulation is key to a healthy dog. I have taken care of not only our dogs but have walked many friends dogs while they were at work or got stuck in town longer than expected. Big or small I love them all. I am a stay at home wife and I am available majority of the day and on short notice to walk you pet or give them some attention while you are away. I am a full time RVers so I am also familiar with those type of living situations and how important it is to get dogs out for good walks and play time. Because i live in an RV I am unable to board pets but I can make numerous visits to your place to walk your pet and provide some affection to help them pass the day.

Lucia was amazing and took great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town! She took them to the dog park and sent great detailed updates. She was very friendly to communicate with and quick to respond. We’ll definitely use Lucia next time we go out of town!
