The following Reviews were verified by Rover during our association as Frederick's Top-Tier Preferred Sitter for several years, prior the birth of our own TailWaggers Inn.
Was nervous to leave my young puppy, but those feelings quickly went away after meeting Deb. She was so warm and welcoming and it was clear my puppy was in great hands and would have a lot of fun at her house. I loved that he had free reign of the house and that there were many other dogs staying there for him to play with. Also appreciated that Deb kept me updated with pictures and messages. Will definitely use her services again when I go out of town and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful pet sitter! Timmie
Dexter played with the other dogs the whole time and seemed very happy and tired when I picked him up. Deb sent me pictures daily to show me what he was up to! Very flexible with pickup and drop off times and you can tell she really cares about the animals. Jillian
Their house is like puppy heaven. I had such a wonderful interaction with Jessica in preparation for the two pups’ first stay with them. They do very thorough screenings in advance, and I had such a great interaction with them when we first arrived. This has been one of my very best dog boarding experiences. I highly recommend them! Courtney
AMAZING. My Dash had an amazing time with Deb. This was our first time and it definitely won't be the last. She sent pictures and kind updates about my furbaby while I was gone on my trip. It really warmed my heart to know that he was doing just great while I was gone. Deb was very sweet and caring. I enjoyed meeting her and I immediately felt at home in her presence. I'm taking my dog back! Thanks Deb! Daneesha
Deb is fantastic! My dog Cyrus loves going to see her and play! He is so comfortable with her and that eases my mind when my husband and I like to go away for a night, weekend, or vacation. She has a special bond with animals that is for sure! Lisa
Completely satisfied. Deb was attentiive and tuned into my dogs' needs. Lots of toys for my younger pup to keep his interest. Deb helped provide a safe place for my other pup who was afraid of the thunder. Both pups slept in her bedroom just like they are used to doing at home. Peggy
Excellent care for my pup!!! Can't wait to use Deb again! August had a blast and Deb truly cares for the dogs! Regina
Deb was awesome with our shy and anxious German Shepard. I will not hesitate to bring him back again. Joy
I have to say, when I dropped off my puppy doggie this time, the 7th time, my puppy doggie went right up to Deb and gave her sooo much love, hugs, and kisses it was so heartwarming. I don’t think she even noticed that I was leaving. I did miss her so much but when I saw all the pictures that Deb sent me it was so comforting and amazing. I can’t say enough about Deb taking care of the doggies. She just is so warm and loving to them, knows what each dog likes and prefers and she accommodates to those preferences. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need references for Deb. My puppy doggie is also going to stay with her around Christmas time. I can’t think of a better person for my puppy doggie to spend Christmas with other than me. Susan
Deb is amazing! I would highly recommend her to all my friends. She has been a life saver for us for the past 2 years. Last month we needed our golden retriever Shiloh to be boarded for 3 weeks, while we were abroad, due to a family emergency. Deb was very accommodative and agreed to take care of Shiloh during this whole period on a days notice. Shiloh loves her and her home which is now like his second home. Thanks Deb, we really appreciate you. Sampa
I have only good things to say about Deb. She has boarded and cared for our dog twice now and it seems like she cares for him as her own. The second time we dropped him off, he didn't even want to watch me leave because he was so excited to be there! He gets a ton of play time with the other dogs and has not shown any signs of of fighting or otherwise and always returns to us extremely happy and tuckered out. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Jeremy
You should see my dog jump high in joy when he’s at Deb’s. He’s the happiest! Thank you so much. Debbie
Luna loved it! So nice she can play with other dogs. Great fenced in yard. Deb is very personal and keeps you up to date with pictures and any questions you might have. Great experience. Irene
Deb makes you feel right at home. My dog Cyrus walked right in and jumped on the couch, was very comfortable and that put us at ease. Deb has a lifetime of experience with dogs and can read them very well to assess if your dog will be a good fit in her home. She is confident, caring, and experienced! Lisa
Like always, a great place to leave my little tiger. We highly recommend Deb for boarding dogs!!! Deb is always taking care of our dog like its her own. Gustavo
Our dog is very timid and shy around most animals. When we picked her up after staying at Deb's you could tell she was very comfortable and had no fear whatsoever. The photos we received during her stay showed her playing, eating and sleeping with other dogs. We'll continue to ask for Deb whenever we need to leave town. Carmelo
Deb was recommended by a friend, and she did not disappoint! This was our first experience with Rover. Deb was amazing with our dog. She was patient, kind, and in-tune with the personalities of all of her 4-legged guests! She took the time to make sure our dog felt at home and comfortable. Carl
I feel so lucky to have found Deb to watch our lab/shepherd mix! From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, I could tell that he was comfortable, well-taken care of, and so happy! Deb sent many photos during his stay so I was able to see how relaxed and well adjusted he was. Thank you! Melanie
This is my dogs Firth time staying with Deb. She is just so kind and obviously loves the dogs so much. She truly puts her heart and soul into taking care of our furry family members. I love all the amazing pictures with the different activities Belle is involved with. My dog is small and she always gravitates to the bigger dogs during her stays. She lets Belle sleep With her on her bed with her just as she does with me. There is no one else I feel comfortable with taking care of her like Deb does. I highly recommend Deb to watch your furry family members also. Thanks again Deb! Susan
Madox had a great time with Deb and all of his doggy friends. Emily
Mia loves Debbie's house! She didn't even want to come home because she had so much fun there. Shelley
Deb is a wonderful animal lover and care giver. Susan
Deb recently took in our dog Luna for the first time over a holiday weekend and she is honestly a dog whisperer. Laura
Deb always makes sure to update me on Duke and how he’s doing :) he loves playing and loves the yard. Natalie
Deb was so great! We knew from the beginning when she took care in introducing Maggie to each dog that she’d be in good hands. It’s apparent she loves dogs and is excellent at caring for them. Maggie spent the day playing with friends in her large backyard and had plenty of bones and toys to play with. A true paradise! Amy
Deb is absolutely wonderful! Totally and fully trust her with our dog. I love the time they get to spend outside! Deb always provides pictures of the dog running and playing! The kids love that they get to see the dog happy! Often the pics show our dog laying right on her bed! We know without a doubt she is well taken care of! Jessica
We love Deb’s place. Our lab gets to run around and is really taken care of while he is there. Every time we pick him up, he is either exhausted or sad because he sleeps a lot when he gets home. Kevin
This is the fifth time I’ve used Deb for my great dog Belle. This was an abnormal visit as I had to get rushed to the hospital and Deb was absolutely amazing by letting my family drop my puppy off urgently without any real notice and kept her for 3 days. Without hesitation she was so kind to say absolutely no problem and I was just so relieved. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without having her as my puppy’s other mother. My dog loves her and being there with the other pups so much it’s just such a relief. I just want everyone to use her services as much as I do, you won’t find a better caregiver anywhere else I promise. She’s the best!!! Susan
Once again our 2 dogs stayed with Deb and I can tell they had a great time. They are happy, healthy and tired from all the fun!! We always are at peace going on vacation and leaving them in Deb’s care...which is priceless!!! Tara
Our puppy is part of our family so it’s reassuring to know that Deb treats him so well. He has the freedom to roam her house and he gets outside playtime with other doggy guests. Chris & Kim
Great stay as usual. Always a great mix of dogs for our dog to play with. Bill
My dog LOVES her vacations at Deb’s! She’s always so happy to be dropped off there, and will go straight to her “spot” on the cool bathroom floor :) Laura
Buffie comes home from Deb's content. Cynthia
Deb was amazing with my 2 dogs even for my last minute booking! We will definitely use her again! Robyn
My dog Belle has boarded with Deb 3 times now. I can’t say enough about her. She is so welcoming, loving to my puppy, and always cares about how both I and my dog are doing. I highly recommend her for any boarding needs. She gives me a heads up and pictures on such a regular basis when I am away and she has my dog. I no longer am stressed out when I leave her because I know she’s welol taken care of. My dog is small but it’s funny because my doggy always gravitates to the big dogs for some reason. Especially the labradoodles for same reason. I will use her so much more I’m sure. Too bad she doesn’t board cats as well. Actually cats do well on their own for the few days I’m away from my dog. I also appreciate all the updates you give me when I pick her up, it makes me feel more at ease knowing what happened while I was away. Again I highly recommend Deb to the board any dog or puppy. Thank you! Susan
Remi loved staying with Deb. He was exhausted from all of the play time. Deb took great care and we are very grateful. Brindley
Rosie was happy and had been well cared for. Very easy! I would use Deb again! Linda
As usual, my puppy had an amazing time with Deb. My dog loves being able to play with other dogs as I only have a cat at home and she’s just not nearly as fun as the other pups Deb takes care of. I highly recommend Deb to take care of your precious dog as well. This is my pups 7th stay with Deb and I already have her reserved for 2 other stays this year. I hope you read my review and not hesitate to book her. Susan
We found Deb at the last minute when our usual friends were unavailable to watch our dog....she was quick to respond and was willing to set up a meet and greet the next day! She had several dogs already there and took the time to take each dog out one by one to meet our dog to make sure they all got along. She sent photos, responded to our texts and you can tell that she really cares about all the dogs! We know our dog was well cared for and had a great time playing with the other dogs! We will definitely use her again! Debra
