My experience

I have looked after many different species. People notice that animals gravitate toward and trust me. That pleases me immensely! I've cared for farm animals such as goats, sheep, llamas, cows, horses, ponies, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits…

Debra has cared for my two small dogs many times over the past four years. I plan trips only when she's going to be in the area. My dogs love her very nearly as much as they love me and are overjoyed to see her. She has a really special place in their little hearts! She showers them with genuine love and affection. I feel completely confident to travel because my dogs won't even miss me and my home is taken care of better than when I'm here. What's better than that? She is always on time, never cancels and communication is a breeze.

I have lived abroad (France and Italy) while teaching American students studying abroad and while doing my doctoral research and I loved it. I feel quite confident and comfortable in new settings and love learning about different peoples…
