Pet care experience
Growing up on a farm exposed me to all sorts of animals; cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters, fish, amphibians, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, etc. I've provided pet sitting services for friends, family, coworkers, and employers both in their home and in my own. I work full-time from home with a somewhat flexible schedule. I am available weekends, after 5pm on weekdays, intermittently during the day on weekdays, and most holidays. I have one rescued cat, 10+ fish, and 20+ houseplants (all cat-friendly!). Windows and doors are kept closed and locked. I provide many comfortable areas for lounging and naps with a huge window overlooking a river which can provide hours of curiosity and entertainment for fur babies. I have attention for detail and following rules. If you consider me as a house-sitter or drop-in visitor I guarantee I will adhere to your directions while being respectful of you, your pet, and your home.
Reviews
Perfect stay!! Thanks so much for the updates.
I'm so glad I found Debra on rover to take care of my elderly cat. He had a wonderful week with her. She worked hard to accommodate my cat with her own cat. She obviously loves animals, and has a beautiful apartment for them to spend time in.
Debra babysat our Jack Russell, Emma for two days while we had new windows installed. Debra was very attentive and sent pictures periodically and updated us on how Emma was doing. I totally recommend Debra to babysit any pet. Thank you so much we appreciate what you do for people that need it!
Bodhi had a wonderful time with Debra. He's looking forward to his next vacation there in June :)

I love to engage dogs with play to strengthen bonds, build trust, and establish respect. Depending on location, we would walk or jog around a public park, or visit a dog park.
