Pet care experience

Experienced, caring pet lover

I have taken care of pets all my life - cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, chickens, ducks, and an occasional rescued wildlife critter. I was a foster home for Second Chance Animal Shelter and the St. Francis Animal Rescue for several years and specialized in socializing semi-feral cats. I have lots of experience feeding, walking, giving meds, and making your dog, cat or any pet feel safe and loved.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can come to your home to feed, walk, and play with your pets. I have cats and chinchillas, so boarding at my house is not really feasible, but I can do pet and house sitting at your home if needed.

I can’t speak highly enough about Deborah. My husband and I travel a lot and we’re looking to find someone to develop a long relationship with who would take care of our 7 cats. We were happy to find Deborah and immediately got the good vibes- after her first sit where even our shy/particular cats came out for pets and food, it was clear they liked her! Deborah not only fed, watered, and cleaned up after them but took the time to give them love and attention. It’s not easy to feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in someone else’s hands, but we are happy, confident, and secure with Deborah caring for our cats. If you’re looking for someone who not only speaks cat, but also is willing and able to go the extra mile for them you have to ask her to watch your babies!

Deborah has her own animals even chinchillas & parakeets! My parrot liked her from the start of our meet & greet! How nice to go on vacation with out worrying. If you need a bird sitter she's the one!!!
