Hank

I met Debbie at Little Buffalo one evening while I was taking a walk. I instantly new that se had a very special quality that not many people have; her spirit was filled with love & compassion for animals. As we talked, I found out she was a pet sitter & a trainer. I can truly say I was at the right place at the right moment, or I would never have never met her. I invited her to my home to meet our dog Hank. Instant connection between them, & I knew as I watched her, she would be my choice for a sitter. I contacted Debbie for a few day sittings. I could immediately tell when I got home that Hank was happy, so when we planned our vacation, I contacted Debbie. We were gone for 11 days. We asked Debbie to visit 3 times a day. She was great. She didn’t just come for 10 or 15 minutes, she stayed & played & even showed Hank a few new tricks. She made sure he ate his food & gave him his medication as instructed & made sure he did his business before she left. She even cleaned up the yard. I really didn’t even feel like I had to call & check in on Hank , although I did once, just to make sure she didn’t have any unanswered questions. We were delayed coming home, & were a bit worried about wether she would have time in her schedule to be there an extra day. Debbie already knew the situation (Hurricane Irene) & made plans to stay the extra day or days without us even asking. We were having such a problem getting home & the stress was a little overwhelming, but back home, Debbie had everything under control. What a huge relief that we didn’t have to worry about Hank. Debbie was committed to stay as long as we needed her. When we returned, Debbie had written Daily activity sheets for our review, & it was really fun reading her comments. Wow, she is amazing! As for Hank, when we finally got home, he slowly came to greet us, saw us, turned and went & lay down. I think he was expecting someone else to walk in the door!! I would highly recommend Debbie as a pet sitter. Hank actually was a bit upset for a few days after we returned & I could tell he missed her being there. Debbie went above & beyond any sitter we ever had. We will always call her when we need a sitter. She is completely trustworthy & dependable; She has a key to our house, and is welcome anytime, even if we are not home. I think of her as part of our family. Hank loves her too. It is amazing how I can tell if Hank likes someone or not. His face tells it all.
