I am a pet owner. Or should say she is the boss of me. I am kind and patient and like all animals. I can feed a cat and clean up but cannot hold them as it flares up allergies. Dogs are not a problem I can hold and pet. Walk them and even bathe them. Thanks for viewing my profile.

Amber S. says "Deborah was excellent helping me recover after a procedure. She also took care of my dog so that I could rest."
