A Plus Loving Touch Pet Sitting

PET SITTER NIGHTMARE:
We unfortunately hired Debbie to look after our two German shepherds while we were away on vacation. She seemed nice and we had no other options in yucca valley, so we hired her. She met me at my house and took copious notes. She told me that she had a girl who helped her in yucca valley and that she was going to bring her to our meeting which she did not. I realized a day before we left for our trip that I still hadn’t met the other girl so I sent Debbie a text and asked if the other girl was available to meet me any time that day. Debbie gave me a long run down of why she herself wouldn’t be able to meet me and that she trusted this girl with her life and that I shouldn’t worry. Which doesn’t necessarily mean anything to me since I don’t know this person. However, we trusted her and went on our way. Second day into our trip we get a pic update and the water is in the food dish and not in their large water container. No big deal, I sent a nice double checking that the water was in the larger bucket instead of the smaller dish and she responded to me that «she’s not stupid. Lol she actually has a degree» I thought that really odd and it made me uncomfortable. I called her and she said «hi, have you had a stupid pet sitter before or something? It’s common sense to put the water there.» I told her that I actually never had a pet sitter before and was really put off by the way she was choosing to answer. She responded «I put lol, can’t you take a joke? Where is your sense of humor?!» She proceeded to tell me that the pic update she sent was an old pic from yesterday that the never sent so decided to send it to me that day and it was before she did her services. The whole thing just made me uncomfortable so I asked a friend to go to my house and check for me because I was worried about my babies and she in fact had filled the shallow water dish and their water container was bone dry and blowing around in the yard. It’s a 3 gallon container when has never tipped over a single day when filled to the top. My friend said that she could actually watch my dogs for me instead so I cancelled service with Debbie very politely and told her my friend could do it for us the rest of the week and if my friend could just pick our home key from her the next day. Next day came and Debbie would not respond to messages about picking our key up from her. So I felt uncomfortable and stopped payment on the check I had written her for 9 days of work and let her know I wanted to send her a new check for the two days of services rendered. She called me and exploded on me. Yelling and telling me that I better pay her non stop fee on a check that she wrote to me and that if I did not pay her a new check with an additional $ 30 on it that she would exploit my husband who is Marine. That she would go to base and report him for God knows what. And told me that she never deals with people in yucca valley because of WHITE TRASH like me. And continued to send me a string of threatening messages about how if I know what’s good for me I’ll send her $ 100 instead of $ 70 and she has lots of marine clients who are going to help her somehow have my Marine husband reprimanded at work? Apparently she had sent me a reimbursement check for the rest of the funds she owed me, I told her that I would just sent the check back to her and would not cash it. She turned into a COMPLETE PSYCHO and wanted to use any information I gave her in case of an emergency against us. Trying to exploit the fact that my husband is a Marine… Shame on you… Military families, stay away from this one. Complete nightmare. I’ll post screen shots in the pics portion.

I can’t recommend Debra highly enough! We’ve used Debra for over two years now. She’s very reliable, responsive and great with our two cats. They are always happy, brushed, loved and well-​fed when we return from a trip. And she always seems to know when we’re missing our kitties most, sending us a text/​photo of them while we’re away so we know everything’s all set back home. Thanks Debra!

We have been using Loving Touch Pet Service for about 5 years. Debra’s service is exceptional! Not only are my very elderly pets well taken care of, I feel that Debra goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable when I am gone. Daily notes are left for me to know how the visits went and the occasional text message and picture of my pets is above and beyond! She was also available to just house check at times and when there were weather problems around Debra was able to check for any damage. A comfort when I am 1400 miles away!

I have used Debbie’s services for quite a few years to care for my Kitty when I am
away and as one might suspect, I am more than just picky about who cares for her.
I have always found Debbie to be reliable, professional with a superior attention to
detail. I feel lucky to have found Debbie because believe me, I have been through
my share of less than perfect pet sitters. I trust her 100%.

One of the best parts about our seasonal visits to the Coachella Valley is the professional, competent and loving care we get for our two fur babies from Deb. Our two small pups just love Deb and we do to because we can relax knowing that they are being well cared for. We highly recommend Loving Touch.

Deby does an amazing job with my little girl. I hadn’t been on a vacation in over 2 years when I was lucky enough to find her. She’s very conscientious and really cares about your pet — like she’s her own. I just returned from vacation and have already booked her for the next one. I still feel guilty when I leave my baby, but I know that she’s in good hands.

Our first time we had Debey in our home, was for a short trip, since we had four spoiled dogs and wanted to see how it went. With this number of dogs, our travels were short and far between. And it was an expedition when we attempted to take them with. She came in and we had an interview, in which she met all the dogs, and they took right to her. Since that initial time, it went so beautifully, that my husband and I felt very secure in her care and being in our home, that we took a 6 week trip to Australia. During this time we did not worry about our babies at all, and came home to not only happy and healthy pups, but a home that was clean and organized and even fresh doggy meatballs made for one of our special needs dogs. Our four dogs really range in size and age and they all have different diets, which have to be assembled. Mealtime is not simple and then there is all the different medications. Our senior dog had cancer and required a lot of medication administered at different times of the day. Then our Brussels had extreme eye problems that required face cleaning and multiple drops given at different times daily. The third has bad stomach problems with occasional clean up that requires a strong stomach. And lastly, a lab that needs daily exercise. Needless to say, this is a job that requires time, patience and skill and Debey Do has all the above and more. We just got back from our last trip of 26 days and she has changed our lives. Thanks for your love and care.

We recently moved to the desert after my husband retired. We have 2 English bulldogs that definitely are part of our family so we were very hesitant to travel since we did not have a pet sitter here. I called Debeydo, the owner, and she came over to meet our dogs. They loved her! She is such a caring, compassionate woman who sincerely cares about every pet she meets. I also met Teresa, who is a wonderful person, so my husband and I felt so comfortable leaving our babies in Debeydo’s hands. The dogs are so happy when we return and keep looking for Debeydo for days since they miss her.
If you have any hesitations about leaving your pets with Loving Touch, please call so I can assure you that they will be in loving hands.

Debra saved the day. We moved into the La Quinta area and took a trip a couple days later. She figured out way to keep our escaping dogs in the backyard and unlock a bolt lock without a key in order to get in to our home. She went above and beyond the typical tasks of a petsitter and refused to take more money. She is a true professional and works hard for her money.

I have used Loving Touch on several occasions for overnite care for my 2 Aussie Shepherds and Debey is AWESOME! I never worry about my «babies» when Debey is with them. They’re always very happy pups when I come home and they have obviously received lots of love and attention from Debey. I can highly recommend her. She is dependable and reasonably priced.

Debra was the best pet sitter I have ever had, rates were lower too! Certified, licensed, insured and bonded to match. But my dogs and cat don’t care about that, they were well taken care of while I was away. She also texted me to let me know they were doing ok, and when I arrived home there was a comprehensive day by day check list. Thanks!!!

Came to the rescue when I had a short time left before leaving for training. Debra did an amazing job taking care of the three kiddos. I couldn’t have asked for a more experienced person. Very much in touch with both dogs and cat. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter in the desert cities area!
