Pet care experience
Whiskers, Feathers & Fins-FT Sitter
I recently moved to this area from the Capital District and am excited to meet new "fur friends" and the "families" who love them! I have loved and cared for dogs since my childhood. Rusty, the very first dog I raised on my own, was a very smart and gorgeous Golden Retriever. I've had fish, a talking Green Cheek Conure named Peanut, and often cared for my daughters' ferret, Franklin, when she went on vacations. Since my parents weren't fond of cats, I didn't know much about them until I was out on my own, but I was soon to learn. Every day, my neighbors' cat would come to visit. She lived next door with a single mom, 2 little girls, and 4 other cats. I think her household was a bit chaotic for what was about to happen with her so the reason for those daily visits had a specific purpose. I would eventually become the proud step-mom/gramma to her and her 5 kittens. And there began my love for the feline species, lol. No pets are off limit ..... except snakes and spiders. Willing to administer oral meds. Senior pets, kittens and puppies welcome! Your babies will be treated like my own!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a dog and cat so care outside my home is preferable. Feeding, fresh water, accident clean ups, litter box scooping for cats, meds if needed, and playtime inside and out as instructed by you. I am hoping to add a few more services soon.
Ratings and reviews
Debra is an excellent pet sitter. She is very reliable and amazingly earned the trust of my extremely shy cat with her patience and time. I feel totally confident my cat is in good hands with Debra.
Our experience with Debra was amazing! She took such great care of our two cats, Momo and Shumai, while we were away. We could tell they were well loved, comfortable, and getting lots of attention from all the updates and photos she sent. Momo and Shumai can both be particular in their own ways, and she was so patient, attentive, and thoughtful with them. Coming home to two happy and relaxed cats made such a difference. We would absolutely trust Debra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter for their pets!
Great choice for taking care of your pets!
Debra is a godsend she takes very good care of my dogs and always sends me great pictures and gives great updates I So glad I found her!
Reliable and great with my cat!
Debra showed much concern for my cat who is too shy to come out and interact with strangers. Once she got a sight of the cat at a distance, Debra seemed more relaxed. She was extremely responsible and contacted me daily. If anything, I was the one who was not reliable in letting her know I received her reports. Strongly recommend!
