Pet care experience

Loving pet owner and caregiver

I am a trustworthy individual and have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I am a cat person at heart but I also love dogs. It stems from a love for all animals and nature. I have volunteered professionally at TAPS animal shelter in Pekin, IL. I recognize that your pet is an extension of you, and I want to take the best care of them so that you can have all the peace of mind that you need.

Safety, trust & environment

I will be respectful of your pet, privacy, and home. I often bring someone along for the initial meet and greet for personal safety, but if I bring anyone else into your home with me I will request permission first. I take extra care to learn your pet's habits in your home to prevent escapes and make sure their life carries on as normal while you are gone! If you need personal character references I would be happy to share some.

Deborah is an absolute lifesaver. Our car broke down on the way home from a two-week trip, and she was already watching our cats while we were gone. Without hesitation, she graciously agreed to care for them a few extra days on very short notice. We’re so grateful for her flexibility and kindness — she truly goes above and beyond.

My cats love Deborah, she takes such good care of them. I’m pretty sure they have adopted her at this point.

Deborah is the best! She took great care of my kitties while I was on my honeymoon. She is very responsive and has taken on additional days with short notice before. (Sorry I forgot to leave this earlier! It’s been busy!)

Deborah did such an amazing job for me! I came home and my cat was perfectly normal and not stressed.

Schedule

I work a job with an odd schedule and am there for only 6-7 hours at a time. My life schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate many different circumstances and needs. Pet care is something that is part of the structure of my life. If your pet has a routine or schedule, that is important to me to follow. As a pet owner for 20+ years, taking care of my pets is the first and last thing I think about each day. As a child, my pets taught me responsibility, kindness, and love - something I would love to share with your pet too ♥️

Let me know any information that is important to you about your pet's care, medications, routines, mealtimes, etc. How do they get along with other dogs? Cats? Are they prey motivated? Do they like children?
