About the Owner:

I am Debbie Tiefenbacher, owner of Four Footed Pals Pet Service. Thank you for visiting my website. I am very detail-oriented so there is a lot of information here. Most of it relates to pet sitting, but you will also find information on training.

My husband and I moved from Minnesota to Spring Hill in June 2005. After 20+ years of customer service in the medical and life insurance fields, I needed a change! I wanted to do something that I felt a passion for. So, I took two interests – being active and animals – and merged them into my own business. I realized that I’d much rather be out walking a pooch than in an office all day looking at a computer screen.

I started Four Footed Pals in hopes of giving pet owners an inexpensive alternative to kenneling their pets. I believe that in-home pet care is a great alternative while an owner is away because many pets get stressed when they are boarded. Not only is their owner gone, but they are in a strange place away from home. I was inspired by my own dog, Holly Bear, a Newfoundland. Prior to our move to TN in 2005, there were no pet sitters in our area, and Holly Bear had a lot of medical issues. We couldn’t take her to a kennel and feel comfortable about leaving her there. When you hire a professional pet sitter, you have quality assurance and your pets have quality in-home pet care! This provides an owner with peace of mind.

As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust and faith you place in those who take care of your pets. Along with our Newfoundland, Holly Bear, my husband and I are pet parents to several other dogs and cats. You will see some of their pictures scattered around this website. Our “four footed pals” are truly family members!

I have many years of experience caring for a variety of animals. Pets have been a large part of my life from the time I was very young. During my childhood, I grew up on farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin with rabbits, chickens, cows and horses. I’ve also had fish, parakeets, and cockatiels as part of my family. We had a diabetic cat that recently passed away at the age of 16 and our dog, Holly Bear, has had a lifetime of medical challenges. I am very experienced with special needs and older pets.

My Mission: At Four Footed Pals Pet Service, I celebrate in the appreciation that each pet is unique. All care is personalized and tailored to satisfy the individual needs of your pet(s). I look upon the care of other people’s pets as a very important and serious responsibility. I promise to take excellent care of your pets and will treat them as though they were my own. They will get lots of love, attention, hugs, and belly rubs. My goal is for your pets to be safely and happily cared for in their own home and enjoy it!
