Pet care experience

Loving your pets is my goal!

I have cared for animals of my own for one 30 years or more. I also have taken care of my friends pets when they were traveling! This past January I lost my 16 year old Chihuahua. He had heart issues and went blind. I cared for and loved him to the end. I am a healer and found that energy given to animals creates trust, love and comfort!

Very disappointed. I chose Debra based on 5 stars and great reviews and I met her prior to staying with my dogs. Don’t feel like I got anything close to 5 stars. My dogs aren’t difficult, food, water, treats, outside, repeat. Debra sent pictures of dog poop in my home of BOTH dogs while I was gone and NEITHER of my dogs have ever had accidents in my home! One of my dogs needs to be encouraged to go out because she’s older and can’t see well, but she’s not a problem, she’s very sweet, just timid!! When I got home today, their water bowls were bone dry and food bowls were empty, and they never eat all their food. I SPECIFICALLY asked her to check food and water am and pm before she leaves. I watched my indoor camera of the last visit today at 1230 and Debra was sitting at my kitchen counter on her phone the entire visit until i texted and told her to let my dogs out! I’ve used another Rover sitter who wasn’t available this weekend and my dogs NEVER have had issues with her. No food, no water, not letting my dogs out…This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE and shame on her for treating anyone’s pet this way!!

Debra was absolutely incredible with our cats, we came back to two happy girls who had been well fed, watered and cared for during her visits. A clear communicator and great overall person! Highly recommend!

Ms. Debra was great with our handicapped little guy. He immediately took to her and she sent updates throughout the day. We also appreciated her flexibility to work with us and our scheduling needs. Definitely recommend and would use again in the Baton Rouge Area!

She did great, just wished she soaked wet food bowls between visits

Debra was excellent with my senior dog Henry. She was always on time, she was able to find a way to get him to eat breakfast and she gave regular updates. Highly recommend.
