Pet Nanny

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.

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.

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!
