About
My clients value me as a friend and companion for their pets. I offer 30, 45, 60 minute walks.
DOGS: I walk only one dog at a time (or two in the same family). This gives me the opportunity to bond with each dog, provide the most beneficial exercise for the time allotted, and personalize my service to each dog’s individual personality, temperament, and needs. Most important, we have fun together—just the two of us or, if you prefer, with other dogs in a park setting. I have had 3 different clients for over 5 years!
CATS: The cats I serve get the same level of care and attention. I feed and clean up after them, and change their litter boxes. And if it works for them, I love nothing more than giving them play time and lots of affection.
After six years and 69 of dog and cat relationships all over San Francisco, I love my work more than ever.

Deborah’s cat care was the best! I had recently adopted a 5 year old cat and 2 months in I had a one week trip planned. My cat is a big scaredy cat! While he wouldn’t have much interaction with her, she was always there at the same time as she said she would come (I had a blink camera set out so I could kinda keep an eye on him) and feed him and clean his box. I was so worried but he was in the best hands with Deborah and he was in great shape when I returned. She also texted me updates even with pictures 😄
Details: Cat • 1 pet • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

I had just gotten my brand new puppy and was looking for a dog walker or more so someone to play with him when I had to step out. Deborah is lovely. It’s a great feeling to trust who is watching your dog. I can’t recommend her enough.

Deborah is an excellent dog walker; very knowledgeable, caring, keeps up on new behavioral trends re: leash-reactivity, positive reinforcement & really goes out of her way to give your dog a safe, fun experience. I'd highly recommend Deborah, your pup will connect with her immediately & so will you!
