"We feel so blessed to have found Debbie to watch our dog while away. We hate to leave him in a kennel. Debbie provided loving care and no cages. You can easily see she has a special love for pets. We have booked several more weeks over the summer."

"We found Debbie to care for our two older dogs ( a malti-poo and a bichon) at the last moment after our dog-sitter had a emergency hospital admission the day before our planned trip.. My "boys" are 13 years old and the bichon is blind and needs medication, so they require a bit of extra TLC. As soon as I came into her home, I immediately felt comfortable with her as she greeted my boys and introduced them to her dog. She took them in her home and before we left, they were already in her lap.
She provided great care, gave their medication, and treated and loved them as her own. While we were away, she even sent email photos of our babies which showed them comfortable and healthy. After we returned, we found out that our Webster ( my blind bichon) slept nightly with Debbie's mother all cuddled up. I highly recommend Debbie to dog owners. I have no doubt she will include them in her family as she did our boys."

I went on vacation for 2 weeks and needed to find a pet sitter for my dog Bailey. It was hard to find something that I could afford as well as someone I could trust. I found Debbie and Mike and knew it was meant to be as soon as I walked in the door. They gave us such a warm welcome and I could tell Bailey felt right at home. I would recommend them to anyone that needs a pet sitter for their baby!

We were Lucky to have found Debbie and her pet sitting services. She provides a safe and caring enviroment.
We did not want a kennel for him and having a home away from home was great for Buddy Love.
Our Buddy Love was spoiled and happy when when we picked him up.
If you want a caring Dog lover then you've come to the right place."

Debbie is the Best!
My little dog, Clancy, was ill while with her and
Debbie couldn't have been more loving and attentive. She hand-fed and
comforted him through the night. Clancy's doing great now and I owe a
debt of thanks to Debbie for everything she did for him. I won't
hesitate to leave him with her again.

Was very glad I found Debbie’s website from the craiglist posting. She has taken extremely great care of my Jack Russell named Elvis. This is his home away from home when I go on my business trips. Thanks again Debbie for taking care of Elvis!

My husband and I had to take a trip to Pennsylvania for interviews and found Debbie on Craig's list. Debbie loves animals and took care of my two little ones, Buddy and Reggie. Reggie has special needs and Debbie made sure those needs were met. We were leaving on a Saturday morning and she let us bring them Friday evening so we could just get up and leave. She let them sleep in bed with her, just like they do at home, especially Reggie since he needs that closeness. Debbie will take care of your pets so they don't have to stay in kennels.

My two old best dog friends, barnes and jo, stayed with debbie while i was
on vacation. when we arrived at debbie's, it was like a visit to the dog
park - other dogs to play with, and lots of chew toys around. barnes and jo
had a ball - they were so happy not to be staying in a kennel, and i was
also. i am not sure they wanted to come home. they will be staying with
debbie soon again; i won't have to worry about how they are doing in a
kennel; the dogs will have fun staying with a family.

We have used Debbie’s service a couple of times and have been very happy, but our dog Mr. Beasley really loves staying there, it’s like a vacation for him too with all the attention, daily walks and interaction with the other dogs.!!! The service the Debbie provides is top notched!!! It’s great to go away and not have to worry about your dog. When we call to check up on him, Debbie always answers the phone and gives us details of what our crazy little dog has been up to. We will be using this service again and again and have recommended her to our friends. Pablo and Gina K from Osprey Florida with Mr Beasley
"In the past, when we needed to go out of town and could not take Zoe, we counted on friends and neighbors to help us out (since we don't have family in Florida). When we realized that we had to go out of town twice in December, we decided we needed to find someone we could trust and count on to take care of Zoe, instead of imposing on others. We located Deb on Craigslist and arranged for a "Meet and Greet" with Zoe. When we met Deb and Mike we immediately knew that they were the perfect people to care for Zoe while we were gone! Not only that, but through emails and phone calls I feel I have known Deb for a long time. We highly recommend Deb and Mike to anyone who values their pets as much as we do Zoe. Thank you Deb and Mike for helping to make our time away from home and Zoe much more relaxing and carefree!

Debbie and Mike, I am so very sorry it has taken me so long to send you this thank you. But I want to THANK YOU both so very much for the loving care that you gave Bubba while I was in Wisconsin for almost three weeks.
It was so comforting knowing that he was being cared for and loved as I do for him. Thank you for cooking for him and allowing him to sleep with you and Thank you to Elvis and Abby for being his playmates.
I will surley be calling on all of you for your help again,
Thanks to all of you Jill C From North Port Fl with Bubba
Bailey is my little rescue fellow—and can be very apprehensive in new surroundings. Thanks to Deb’s patient care, he felt right at home and enjoyed three days of vigorous playtime with his new pals. Thanks Deb, for making Bailey feel like a member of your family.

Thanks Debbie for taking such good care of my boy Willy. He fit in so well with your family and loved your healthy home cooked meals. Thank you so much for helping get his fleas under control and also for treating his hot spots with your natural remedies. We'll make sure to visit the next time we're in Florida.
