Pet care experience

Trusted, Experienced Pet Sitter

Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of real-world pet sitting experience. Caring for pets has never been “just a job” for me — it’s something I’ve done consistently and responsibly for decades. At one point, I maintained 8–10 regular, long-term clients, many of whom trusted me with their pets year after year. I currently have one dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important routines, patience, and individual attention are. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, seniors, cats, and pets who require specific feeding instructions, medications, or extra TLC. I’m calm, observant, and dependable — and I communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering how your pet is doing. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Thank you! Debbie

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or staying in yours, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. For client stays, I follow your instructions closely—feeding on schedule, refreshing water, giving medications if needed, and keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time, including letting them out into the backyard for potty breaks and taking them on relaxed walks for exercise and enrichment. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Debbie took excellent care of our boys while we were out of state. She was new to our circle but she came and met all of us and was natural and relaxed around the dogs. They instantly liked her and by the time she left we knew she’d be great and she was! She followed our care instructions and kept us informed at each drop in. We were a little anxious about having someone other than our usual person care for our dogs but Debbie was fantastic! Now we have another qualified amazing caregiver for our boys and we couldn’t be more pleased!

Debbie did an amazing job with our 2 cats and 2 dogs! She is super professional, reliable, and trustworthy. We loved her sending pics and updates throughout the week! Debbie clearly adores animals and they love her! She even weathered a severe tornado warning /watch in our area for over 24 hours keeping our nervous pets comforted and safe. She is detail oriented, highly attentive, and very responsive to texts or questions. I feel so fortunate to have found her! We will use her for future trips as well. Thank you Debbie!

Debbie has taken care of ours cats on 2 occasions. Each time she has been a stellar communicator. The cats are happy and content when we got home. I would highly recommend her for your pet needs.

I want every pet to feel comfortable and understood, so it helps to know a few things before I arrive. Please share anything about your dog’s routine, personality, or quirks that would help me care for them the way you do. I love knowing their favorite activities, what makes them excited, and what helps them feel calm. It’s also helpful to know about any special needs — feeding instructions, medications, mobility issues, sensitivities, or anything that might make them nervous (like loud noises, new people, or other dogs). If they have specific walking habits, training cues, or house rules, I’m happy to follow them. The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is for me to keep your dog happy, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away.
