Reviews
Recently we went to Orlando on a family vacation. This was a very last minute thing, talking about we flew out the same day we booked. Debra was very accommodating. She returned my text about sitting right away and shifted her schedule to accommodate our last minute drop off. Never did I feel like i was annoying or putting her out.
While we were gone, she sent pictures of my puppies to me often to show the good time they were having. She let my dogs have full run of her house, including the bed and furniture. My dogs can be picky when it comes to other animals, but became best friends with hers right away.
The true tell of how things went is when you pick up your dogs. Mine came home happy, not overly excited to be home, they weren't clingy, and they ate fine with normal bowl movements.
From what I saw, to her constant contact, and finally my dogs reaction when they were home, I can confidently say that my babies were very well cared for. I have already set up another time for her to watch them and I think they may be looking forward to it.

All of our girls love Debra and are thoroughly excited when they know she is coming over to watch them. She is very good at anticipating their needs and wanting to entertain them. She also comes with experience and certifications like CPR and First Aid. Lastly, she is mindful about cleaning up after the kids and making sure you return to a cleaner house than you left. Always a bonus in my book!
Debra has watched my 80 pound dog on multiple occasions so far and has been professional and caring towards the needs of my dog and myself. I plan to continue taking my dog to Debra so she can be part of Debra's family when I am away.
