Pet care experience

I am a VET with MSc and PhD =)

PET CARE EXPERIENCE The day I got my first pet was one of the best days of my life. I was 7 years old when my cousin gave me a small fluffy ball. I called him Pupi. He was a lovely Pekingese who stayed with me until I started my studies in Veterinary Medicine. I was 22 years old when he passed away from Leishmaniose disease; I was completely heartbroken. After Pupi, I had a lot of pets, and right now, I have a 12-year-old dog (Loloca). When I lived in Wauconda, Illinois, I worked on a dairy farm, and my main job was caring for the calves. In addition to the calves, I adopted a white cat living by himself at the farm. When I lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, I cared for a dog (Honey) and a cat (Grace) for 5 months. Then, when I moved to Madison, Wisconsin, I took care of two lovely cats (Stahoo and Bobito) for over 3 years (I lived with them in the same house). Additionally, in Madison (WI), I took care of two small cats (Betsi and Petsi) from a friend for one week. I have been in Rover since 2020 and have acquired many memorable experiences caring for pets. For me, it has been a time of fun and learning! As you can see, I love animals so much that I decided to dedicate my life to them :)

With a last minute request, Debora came to my house and helped make a long day shorter for my dogs.

Drop-In Visits • mar. 20, 2026

Deborah had done drop-in visits for us a few times, she’s communicative, reliable, and our grumpy cat likes her, which is amazing! We feel safe knowing g she’s keeping an eye on him when we’re gone!

Debora is a great pet-sitter, very knowledgeable, and highly professional. My two cats were well taken care of during my absence, as Debora spends quality time with the pets she watches. Book Debora to make sure your fur babies get the love and care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY I like to schedule a meet & greet to get to know the owner and the pet. I feel this is the best way to learn about the pet and any other important detail that might be relevant.

A typical day

A TYPICAL DAY I like the pets to feel comfortable with me, so when I am doing dog walking, I usually go to places where the owner advises me to go and where the dogs are already familiar. When I do drop-in visits and house-sitting, I like to provide the pet with a calm environment so that they feel relaxed and confident with me.
