Debbie J. Pet Care Provider in Columbia, SC 29209

I have over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, and I do this because I love it! I originally started out with in-home dog boarding. I wasn't crazy about the idea of leaving my pets in a kennel when I had to travel. At the time, in-home boarding was not a service readily offered. This gave me the idea to start offering this service to friends and family and, through word of mouth, I've established relationships with many loyal pet owners who don't want to have to worry about their pets while they're traveling. Owners tell me their dogs get excited when they turn into my neighborhood because they know they're going to have fun!

As clients' lives and needs change, I decided to branch out and offer other services, such as dog walking and pet sitting home visits. I am now in a position to be available full-time to pet owners and am having the time of my life!

In-Home Boarding: There are a lot of walks, playtime, and trips to the park. No cages! They will stay inside and be treated just like one of the family. I can send updates, texts, and pictures while you're gone and I am readily available should you want to check in. Dogs must be house-trained, nondestructive, get along with other dogs, and be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea treatment. Rates are $25/night for the first dog and $20 for each additional dog from the same family. Day only visits are also available.

Pet Sitting and Dog Walking: You tell me what you want! Visits can range anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and I can do whatever your dog or cat loves. Sometimes that's a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch in the back yard, or a cuddle on the couch (or all 3!). Of course feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering meds, etc. will also be included. Rates range from $15-20 per half hour visit.

I am insured and certified in Pet First Aid and CPR and would love to set up a meet-n-greet with you and your pet!
