Pet care experience

Passionate Pet Lover

I have had a love for animals (all) since a young child. I brought home hurt birds, stray dogs/cats etc... Dogs almost at first meeting feel comfortable with me. Even the most timid dogs find me easy to trust in a very short time. I speak their language. I have spent the last 26 yrs in the medical field as a CNA caring for people. Now as I get older, I want to change careers & care for animals, your beloved 4 legged family member(s). I'm looking to be in a less stressful care giver role & one that is more fun. I have had pets my whole life, though I don't have professional experience I do have a lot of personal, day to day experience. I love them wholeheartedly.

Deborah was awesome. I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my boys were well taken care of and at home where they feel most comfortable. Deborah kept me updated with photos that I loved. Coming home was a joy as Deborah had been the perfect "guest," my house was cleaner than when I left it! I have some more travel coming up in the next few months and will definitely use Deborah again!

Deborah was wonderful! Took great care of our dog & kept us up to date while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch him again the next time we're out of town.

Deb was great with our pets! This was our 1st time using Rover and having someone other than family watch our pups but they loved Deb from the 1st time she came over to meet them. She sent us daily updates & pictures and also did a great job of cleaning up after them (they are chewers). Thanks so much!

Deborah is the perfect caretaker! Deborah stayed at our home for several days and nights to care for our moody, skittish, elderly Basenji, Skeeter. She immediately earned Skeeter's trust and that made for one happy ole' pup! Not only did Skeeter get regular walks, exercise, and cuddles, she was fed her geriatric meals and meds with no issues. Deborah IM'd me pet pictures and updates daily. We returned to a clean home, happy pooch, and an orderly fridge...with delicious homemade soup awaiting us! We will most definitely request Deborah's services again... we highly recommend her.

Deborah is awesome with our pups Bodie and Rory! Knowing that our buds are safe and happy gives us such peace of mind when we’re traveling. We loved seeing the pics of them playing and having a good time. We would absolutely recommend Deborah!
