Hyattsville Dog Sitters

Hello! I've loved taking care of pets my entire life and have many years of experience if dog walking and sitting for cats and dogs! Hope you can consider me!

My first unofficial job was when I was in the 2nd grade and my neighbor paid me to walk her dog around our local park. She knew how much I loved dogs and cats of all sizes and told me this was practice for when I finally get my own. After years of begging, my mother caved in and gave me my little baby, a Shih-Tzu named Casmere who just turned 12 years old in October! Being a pet owner myself I know all of the responsibilities and care that goes into pet sitting. Being around animals is an absolute joy for me and I would to look after another

My name is Debra-Adele (Debbie) and I have a profound love for animals and caring for pets. I have cared for many dog breeds including pit bulls, Labrador retrievers, and Yorkie's. I have experience volunteering at the animal shelter, dog sitting, and dog walking.

I have two dogs and a kitten. I can also take care of other kinds of animals. I am gentle and caring. I am patient and playful. I follow directions well.

I provide dog sitting in your own home or in mine. I'm an experienced pet owner, who has raised an American bulldog of over 10+ years. (This dog currently does not stay with me). I love dogs of all sizes and ages. I can also perform baths and light grooming, walks, and vet visits if necessary.

I absolutely love dogs! I have had the dog I have now for 8 years, and have been around dogs ever since I was a little one. I provide dog-walking services as well as daytime dog-sitting. Thank you!

I take care of pets, I've taken care of cats (cleaning their litter, food, medicine, changing water, and playing with them) and I have walked dogs but I myself have had not only cats but ferrets, birds, fishes, and rabbits.

I've had dogs all my life and treat just the way any animal or person wanted to be treated. I have a huge heart and the love I have for dogs is unconditional. Everyone in my household also love dogs too so no one won't have a problem with any of your pets. Just know your dog is in great care when they are with me. I wanna help anybody that travels or can't be able to care for the dogs because they are out of town. I am very reliable, in fact my own family calls me all the time to watch there dogs or care for them in any way when they can't or unavailable to do so. I'm great with them all. Also after every walk, drop in, or boarding I would love a review so I can know how to better service you by letting me know how I did with your friendly pets.

SERVICE AREAS: I have heard from a couple folks that they were unsure what areas I serve. Yes, I live in Hyattsville but I serve and have regular sits in MARYLAND: Frederick, Howard County, Baltimore City, Anne Arundle County, Prince George's County (as far south as Temple/Oxon Hill, Clinton). VIRGINIA: everything east of Fauquier (Warrenton), Prince William, Stafford, Fairfax, Arlington. I also serve the District. ----- More About Me ----- I have over 20 years' experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I am a current foster and disaster animal response team member (think Katrina). In my time fostering, I have placed over 16 dogs into new homes, and, well, I have one too many cats to call my own. I stared working at my local vet in middle school (cleaning kennels and the surgical equipment), and followed this up by working as a vet tech in college. Although I went a different direction in college (Ph. D.) and have run a tech company for the last 20 years, I am ready to be done with the brash day to day of it all and have closed it down here in the first quarter of 2013. When asked what I would do next, it was clear that working with critters would be the way to go. I have worked with a variety of animals in just about the best and worse settings. From the overly yappy Chihuahuas who think they are Great Danes, to Pitt Bulls and Mastiffs, they all share one thing, a good belly rub or just some old-fashioned attention. Cats offer no special challenge here, as I have owned just about every kind imaginable, from the pound pickup to the exotic collectable; rub their ear just the right way and they are sure to be your best friend. Add in the occasional boa, gecko, goat (yes, goat), horse, iguana, fleet of fish and birds of many feathers, and I am pretty comfortable in any situation. That is, as long as you are. All I ask is you are up front and honest about who your critter is, their personality and needs, and we will all get along just fine. MEDICAL & DIETARY ISSUES If your critter has special dietary of medical needs, this is no problem, from subcutaneous fluids to a handy pill popper, or maybe you sneak it in their meal. You just let me know and I can cover that while you're away. The key here, whatever the need, they won't miss a dose while you're gone. Please feel free to ask me about my website.
