Pet Sitting in Macomb

About: I've been a dog owner and pet owner my whole life. I have extensive experience with older animals, puppies and kittens, aquarium pets, reptiles, guinea pigs, and more. I am working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your special pet. I have availability every day and I all day long. I have two friendly female pugs to cuddle with your furry loved ones. Although I do not currently have a fenced in yard, I am happy to walk your dog often as they enjoy.

About: I'm a cat-care expert. I moved to Macomb from Seattle where I catsat for over 50 clients, and I am now taking new clients here. I'm a cat-lover to the bone. I have four kitties of my own right now and have always had cats. I foster kittens for the McDonough County Humane Society. I'd love to be your catsitter. I'm honest, respectful, a great communicator, and a retired professional who now makes her living as an author (Catsitter Mysteries!). I can spot a hairball at a hundred paces, and I have over 40 years of experience with litter boxes. I have experience giving all kinds of medicine to cats (pills, liquid, salve, subcutaneous fluids, and shots). I have bottle-fed kittens. (In the interest of transparency, I do not have official training as a vet tech.) My schedule is extremely flexible. Recently, I needed someone to care for my cats while I was on a trip, and I realized how much stress it caused me. I was so worried about who would care for them. I'd like to relieve this stress for others and make going away more peaceful. If you have a dog or other animal that also needs care, we can discuss whether I'm able to provide what you need. I have experience feeding and caring for lizards, snakes, fish, birds, and even tarantulas. Wishing you all the best, Angel... Fully vaccinated. MORNING DROP-INS. Due to home responsibilities, I'm not available until 9am. OVERNIGHTS. For overnight stays, I'll be at your place all night and most of the day. I will have to leave for a little while to take care of my own kitties. I work remotely from 11am to 5:30pm, so I will be working in your home for a portion of the day. [WINTER CAVEAT: In terrible road conditions, I may have a hard time getting to your home. I will do my best, and I will work with you to give your pets extra food and water so they can weather a longer time alone. I will keep an eye on the forecast for you and will let you know if there's a chance something might come up. Thank you so much for understanding! (Note, this especially applies if you live somewhere off the main roads.)] I work from home, so my hours are very flexible. I can match your cat's medication or meal schedule, spend the night if you want someone there for them, and do up to four visits per day, either 30 or 60 minutes each. I will treat your home like my own and respect both your privacy and your wishes. I cannot care for your pet in my own home unless it is in a cage, crate, or otherwise contained.

About: I have been an avid animal lover since birth!! I have a wide range of experience with animal care-taking. I have babysat a farm, volunteered at shelters, and have had my own pets. I have had large German Shepherds who I have practiced training. I have managed troublesome groups and have had to del with ensuring dogs are separate for behavioral reasons. Whatever your needs, I promise I may have already done! I am able to drop-in early mornings, but will do most walking/care after 12pm some weekdays due to school. I volunteer at the Prairie land conservancy, so some random times I may be busy, but I promise for good reason!! I am available most weekends. Your pet’s safety is really important to me. I make sure they’re always supervised and comfortable. I follow instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, crate routines, and any medications.

“Exceeded every expectation. Debbie not only provided reliable care for our dogs, but she did extra things to make sure they were loved, exercised and ate well. Our dogs usually don’t eat unless someone is hanging out with them, and Debbie would take extra time to sit with them while they ate. It was extremely hot while we were gone and she gave them plenty of time to get out and exercise while being attentive to their heat tolerance and promptly brought them inside to keep them safe from overheating. I will definitely rebook with Debbie and highly recommend her.”
