Debora K. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Loving and easy-going

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and other assorted species as pets my entire life. I have also fostered dogs for adoption. I live alone and I'm retired. It is a quiet, peaceful home with a laid-back and patient sitter. I can accommodate most routines that your pet has established from sleeping in a kennel or on a doggie bed. They are also welcome in my bed! Your pet will receive lots of love and attention. I WILL accept dogs up to 25 pounds. (Rover doesn't allow that choice.)

As always Debora made adjustments to accommodate Cindy's comfort level with the various real life activities in the household. Debora is so good to Cindy. That says it all!!

I'm not uptight about accidents in the house but I do clean them up as soon as I know they're there. I am able to take short walks to allow your pet to do his business properly. Pets are fed twice a day as well as being given occasional healthy treats with permission. There is a good supply of toys available to engage and stimulate your pet. I want to provide care in line with your pets established routine.
