Pet care experience
Hello All! I am only taking repeat clients at this time. Hi, I moved here from the N Austin TX area, and I am so glad to be here in Portland OR. I have babysat and owned dogs, cats, and birds, since I was 9 years old, so I have years of experience, starting with my and my neighbors pets. I also have experience with ESA dogs and cats. My adult daughter loves her ESA cat, which has helped her with her Autism. I am taking retiring from healthcare work as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, and find caring for fur children, a great transition. I have cared for many special needs animals, and find doing such very rewarding. My animals are Carmen Dee (5), a rescued Jack Russell Terrier mix and Peridot ,a tabby mackrel mix cat, who just turned 1! My fur babies eat organic and non GMO products, have playtime, outdoor time , and snuggle time on our couch or bed.
Reviews
Deborah is incredible, always feel my little fella is in superb hands with her! She takes care of him as her own - thank you, Deborah!
Deborah is amazing! She takes great care of my little guy super well!
Boz always loves hanging out with Deborah! :)
Deborah was great! My old dog can be quite stressed and not eat while I’m gone. Deborah makes her a topper she gobbles up. And Sophie loves cuddling with her.

Tips: Much appreciated as my rates have not increased in over 2 yrs. If you feel comfortable with Venmo, I prefer it as a quicker route of part of my pay.
Information Deborah (. would like to know about your pet
I need to know your fur baby's /babies healthcare and everyday needs, preferences and precautions,while they are in my care, just as what is needed for a child. I can bathe your pet, when house sitting. For all my fellow healthcare providers, I look forward to assisting you in watching and caring for your pet and have references from other Dr., nurses ... Thank you for all you do! * Please Note that Rover takes 15% for their fees from my rates, which cover several perks, while using me as a sitter. I also noted that Rover charges my clients up to $50 for more fees, so sitter and pet owners are both paying fees to Rover. ***I currently do not take dogs or cats who cannot be left alone for min 4 hrs at a time (with some client exceptions and a somewhat higher rate), as I need to attend a drop in appt or 2, errands and my healthcare appointments. Thank you for considering such. Please Note: I never leave a dog/dogs unattended in your backyard/yard. I do not sit with aggressive dogs, who need further training for such. I am a calm, patient, firm and loving fur baby caregiver, who has a heart for rescue animals,, and I have previously donated my time and financial gifts to an Animal Rescue in North Texas. I so look forward to helping you with your fur baby!
