Lifelong animal lover

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats have been a part of my life since I was little. My first dog to care for was my Dad's bird dog. Living in the country we had all the dogs people discarded, we took them in and gave them a loving home.

Deborah has always been very helpful and was used to watch our animals previously. Upon seeing she was still caring for fur kids she was the first pick for us. We reached out to her as well as others very late in the evening believing the rover app likely sent them an email and we’d just get a response within a few days. Deborah was the first to respond and did so almost immediately after sending the request for her to watch our animals. By the following morning she was already chosen and booked by us. It was one less concern for when the day came for our own vacation. We have chosen to use her as a house sitter both times for our great dane(s) and cat. The first stay she watched two Great Danes one of which required extra care due to his age. Recently he passed she showed how much she cared about him and you could tell she honestly cares very much for the animals she has stayed with. Our female Dane has been taking some preventatives to ensure as she is aging that she is given every opportunity to live a healthy life with less risks of health issues. Deborah is always more than willing to help with any medications or preventatives while we are away. She also continued care for our cat which had been dumped out in our driveway that we decided to provide a home to. That cat also seems to enjoy the care she receives and Deborah also provides pictures and information while caring for them. If there are any questions or concerns she will reach out as a responsible house sitter should to ensure the pet is receiving any/all care as you would want/expect or do yourself has you been home and available. Will definitely book with Deborah again, our animals really enjoy their time with her and the attention she provides them.

Deb was fantastic and truly an animal lover. We came home to 2 very happy dogs for being able to stay in their own home with Deb during our trip. Will definitely rebook with Deb again.

Deborah was very good with my two Great Danes, and also the stray cat we took in after originally booking her to stay with our animals while away for a few days. Our dogs are very big and at times that concerns people. I think I was more concerned than Deborah was about their size. She took great care of them and great care of our home also while we were away. Would definitely recommend her to friends/family. Hopefully she will be available for our next out of town trip. She requested we leave her instructions and emergency contacts. I hadn’t even thought of that previously but decided it would be a great idea to just make it up online Thanks again for all your help!

Deborah came through for us at the last minute due to a death in our family. We had to go out of state and she stayed at our house with our puppy. She was very good with our high maintenance puppy. She took very good care of him. Kept him entertained. Left our house ckean. And, sent us pictures and texts about how he was doing. We had used Deborah one other time for just a few hours and was pleased to see our Sam was excited to have her return. Thank you Deborah!

I'm on SSD and need to keep moving. Dog walking and sitting gives me the benefit of playing with a dog or cat. They are great mood enhancers.
