Pet care experience

Hello fellow animal & pet lovers: I live here in HalfMoonBay and have noticed there aren't many resources for us souls who love living the Coastal life (at this time, I can only accept stay requests located on the Coast). NEW..Now offering rides for your fur babies. Whether your pet just needs a ride to the veterinarian; delivery to a loved one's house due to unforeseen happenings (late home from work; bad traffic; emergency @ work, etc) Ask me how this works! I can help by providing safe and loving care for your pet(s) in your home, or mine, while you travel for leisure, business, etc. Currently, I walk dogs; do drop-ins & home care/pet-sitting for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, birds, including chickens/ducks; rats, reptiles...I care for plants; take in mail; take out trash; administer special needs/ medication, etc. My fees can vary depending upon the number of animals and their needs. Thank you, Dee in EG * I have raised, fostered, cared for and rescued animals most of my life. * Own/cared for my own dogs, rats, cats, birds, fish * Walk & care for dogs, etc. full-time ! * Excellent driving record Why I love dog sitting I have rescued, cared for and loved many types of animals for most of life. My history with dogs is varied, including owning ChowChows, Dachshunds. My experience administering medication: I currently care for several senior animals. Previously: A diabetic cat which required daily insulin shots; administered subQ fluids, including on my own kitties.

Debbie is very gentle and bones with my shy pup. She is very experienced. Ella loved spending time with her. Highly recommend!

Deborah was an absolute delight! We had to leave our puppy for five days, and she was an easy fit. It’s clear that she’s an animal lover, and our dog adored her from the moment they met. Deborah sent us photos and video updates, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely use her again in the future..

Deborah was so helpful and responsive when our initial dog care plans fell through (a friend couldn’t do it anymore). She was quick and ready to respond and set up all needed details so we’d be all set even though we’d be out of cell service later that day. We also loved getting the photos and they had a sweet time together.
