Petsitting and hiking adventures!

Pet care experience

I no longer offer boarding, but I am available to petsit in your home. Discount offered if my dog can come along :-) I also am available for hiking and do Griffith Park and Hollywood Hills trails most often as I live in Hollywood. Happy to spend time with cats in your home as well if you need drop in visits. About this sitter: Let me know your details so I can provide a custom quote. Location, parking, house type, amenities, and whether my own dog is welcome in your home are all factors taken into account. Why I love pet sitting I've always loved dogs and cats. Started dogsitting when I was 10 years old actually. If you have a lap cat and a streaming TV I'll cuddle your cat for a whole movie instead of just a drop in visit. Meet my pets: 65 lb Staffordshire/ Shepherd mix, age 12 sweet and submissive. Loves little dogs and calm big dogs. I've also cared for my orange tabby cat for 13 years and now have had a 2nd cat for 3 years so I have 16 years experience living with cats. I've also fostered underage kittens for rescues and LA Animal Services.

Debra has watched our dog L.C. (2 and 1/2 years old) over the last 12 months. Debra is responsible, timely, trustworthy and dependable. She takes the responsibility of a pet caregiver seriously and treated our dog like her own. She walks LC a few times a day and gives her lots of hugs & snuggles. I highly recommend hiring Debra.

My puppy is high maintenance... but despite that, Deborah did an amazing job taking care of my pup and giving it the love it needs. Would highly recommend and hire again.

Deborah was super nice and I had a challenging situation, of a 13 week-old puppy AND two grown cats in an apartment. But she handled it brilliantly and provided good communication the whole time.

I will never let your cat outside. Your dog will always be on leash unless you inform me of hiking or dog park activities being ok off leash. I have a car and can bring your pet to the vet if an emergency arises.

Information Deborah R. would like to know about your pet

I'd want to know if they are destructive, potty trained or have any aggression issues. Also, I'd want to know if they can be trusted off leash at Runyon Canyon for hiking. If they like other dogs in general/ if you think they'll like my calm senior dog and then I can take them both on nature adventures. Lastly, safe parking is super important if I'm staying overnight. I've had to catalytic converter stolen twice sadly.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks In my neighborhood and also I go hiking in Runyon or Griffith if weather/ time permits. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dogs usually end up in bed with me. Time I'll spend with your dog It varies but I am home a lot typically.

My outside of home work schedule is primarily evenings and weekends with 4 hour shifts so I have a lot of time and flexibility to petsit :-) I spend my time off cooking, hiking, reading and watching TV as well as doing admin from my laptop so your pets will have plenty of quality time in your home or out on hikes with me.
