Experienced, caring pet lover

Pet care experience

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.

Deborah is a gem: knowledgeable and genuinely affectionate with all four leggers who share her path. She's experienced, conscientious, and asks all the right questions. She proved to be completely capable of managing the high energy of my German Shorthair Pointer, as well as providing training reminders to keep her manners on track until I return.

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.

Information Deborah F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special likes, needs or fears. Do they have a special toy or a favorite place?

A typical day

I will take your dog for a fun walk in your neighborhood. If you have an enclosed yard, we will play catch with a ball or frisbee. I love to play with cats too! I always take time for a good scratch or petting session. I'll send photos do you can see that your pet is happy and safe.
