Reviews
“Our high-maintenance, high-anxiety dog loves her. Our aloof cat loves her.”
Deborah is a valuable member of the family! She cares about our fur babies as much as we do and it's incredibly important to us to have her on speed dial for planning time away as well as on the calendar for regular dog walks. She is reliable, kind and communicative about her visits. We always get great photos. Our high-maintenance, high-anxiety dog loves her. Our aloof cat loves her. We know we can count on her to care for our pets whenever we need an extra hand.
“There was a heat wave during our time away. She really goes above and beyond.”
Deborah has taken care of our cats several times and we highly recommend her. She sends regular photo updates while we're gone, clearly genuinely cares about our cats, and most importantly, we trust her and her judgment. Our last trip was a couple weeks long and there was a heat wave during our time away, so it was especially important to have someone we trust checking in. She really goes above and beyond!
“An expert cat snuggler who treats not just our kitties but our home with care.”
Deborah has become indispensable to our household. With all of the pandemic travel restrictions, the trips we have been able to go on have become even more important, and having total peace of mind that our kitties will be loved and cared for in our absence is a big part of that. One of our furry boys has required a lot of extra TLC, due to infirmity, and it meant so much to us that Deborah supported that. (He's no longer with us, and she was sad alongside us.) She is extremely dependable, a great communicator, an expert cat snuggler, and treats not just our kitties but our home with care. We're lucky to work with her.
“It feels more like we have a friend staying at our place.”
Deborah has sat for our very rambunctious Bernese Mountain Dog and two cats (according to my husband, 1 and 7/8 cats, one of them isn't quite right) any number of times, and I can recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation. She's reliable and responsible and has been wonderful about staying in touch while we've been gone. I pay her for the overnights and also add in one walk per day for our monster dog, but really it feels more like we have a friend staying at our place. Plus it's evident she really is an animal person. Our beasts adore her.
“My two dogs absolutely love their walks with Deborah.”
My two dogs absolutely love their walks with Deborah. She is fun, reliable, safe, and truly cares about animals. Deborah has also been an amazing pet sitter at my home for many vacations. It's great getting updates on how my pets are doing while I'm away. I highly recommend Deborah and trust her.
“I get all the attention I deserve, and the parents have peace of mind.”
I have known Deborah for several months now, and in this short time, we have become BFFs. She values me for my spunk; I value her for her obvious intelligence in being able to anticipate my needs, at all times (except for when Deborah is asleep, at night of all times, it's the best time for playing!!). Did I mention that I am a cat? Yes, I am Thelma, a beautiful, if I may say, tortoise shell cat, 8 pounds of fun and frolic. Don't bother to ask my sister, who is a dog. No, really she is, a collie who is nice but whose nose knows no bounds when it comes to my personal space. The price to pay, I suppose, for being so attractive. My human parents are nice enough to take the collie with them on vacation so I have the house, and Deborah, to myself. It's a win-win: I get all the attention I deserve, and the parents have peace of mind, knowing that I am getting all the attention I deserve. So yes, I would recommend Deborah to you, and even though I find it hard to believe, since she clearly loves me the most, I am sure she will shower you with love, too. Oh yes, and she is capable, competent, and trustworthy when it comes to human concerns, like taking good care of your house and being a great communicator before, during and after a trip. With that I must go and do whatever it is I feel like doing.
Meet Deborah
I founded Golden Heart Pet Care over a decade ago to offer boutique pet sitting and dog walking to pet parents who want loving, dependable care in their own home.
Pet parents tell me they never worry while they're away, thanks to my daily text updates (with cute pictures), clear communication and reliable, compassionate care. They also tell me their shy or anxious pet warmed up to me faster than to anyone else.
