Debra can care for

Cats

Availability

I have loved cats and all animals my whole life. I had a cat before I was born (because my Mom had a black cat before me). She almost named me after her cat! I am not working full-time, but fit in exercise every day. I do like to take a few days here and there to visit my Mom who lives a few hours away from Austin. While I love all animals, I especially love cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I do want to meet your pets and get to know their routine and any quirks. We will discuss all duties in person, but always appreciate the client leaving detailed instructions. Let me know of anything that is unique to them or unusual such as trying to get out of the house or yard, hiding places or sensitives areas such as not rubbing bellies or touching their tails or feet.

Information Debra P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any behaviors that I should know about. Do they have hiding places? What makes them nervous such as loud noises, etc.? Do they have sensitive stomachs or need medications? Leave a cell number in case questions arise and a vet or urgent care clinic in the event of an emergency.

A typical day

I would play with your cats using their favorite toys. I know some cats like to bat at toys like a baseball, play fetch or play with the fishing poles or lasers. I love petting, brushing and talking to cats.

Above and Beyond Cat Lover

Cat care experience

I have been around cats my whole life. As soon as my parents brought me home, I had a beautiful black cat sleeping with me. I cannot remember any time I was without a cat or cats and I have three of my own now. Litter boxes don’t bother me. I’ve given oral medications, ear and eye drops to my cats and kitty clients. I’ve even given subcutaneous fluids and insulin injections to my cats and kitty clients. I really love playing with and petting cats!

Debra is my go to sitter and an absolute gem ❤️. Her daily updates often make me laugh and feel like I'm right there with my babies. My cats adore her and it's clear she adores them in return. I can go out of town and trust with full confidence that the most important things in my life are being taken care of in the way I would. I love her, I will continue to entrust my kitties with her, and I would 200% recomm

My cats never come out around strangers and during her first visit she got them to come out and even play! Cleaned the litter box and food bowls and even put the trash out as well
