Golden Heart <\/strong>Pet Care<\/h1>\n

Dog Walking & Pet Sitting in Portland, Oregon<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello! \u00a0I’m Deborah.\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since 2016, I have served hundreds of happy pets and their parents, dozens of whom I have worked with regularly for years.<\/h3>\n\n

The best part of my work is growing long-term relationships as a “pet auntie”, as many clients consider me an extension of their family.<\/h3>\n\n

I truly adore pets of all breeds (especially Pitbulls-my favorite!). I’m here to care for your fur babies as much as you do, so you can be free to travel with peace of mind.<\/h3>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\"IMG_7994\"\n\t<\/figure>\n\t

I use a professional mobile pet care app (Time To Pet) where clients can communicate with me, view and schedule services, and pay for invoices. \u00a0I also carry professional pet care provider insurance.<\/h3>\n

If you’re interested in services, please contact me at deborahgoldsman(at)protonmail.com<\/strong> so we can set up a quick chat to see if I can best meet your needs.<\/h3>\n

After that, I offer a free half-hour meet and greet in your home to meet you and your pet(s) and learn their routine.<\/h3>\n

      “Deborah is a valuable member of the family! She cares about our fur babies as much as we do<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

      She is reliable, kind and communicative<\/strong> 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<\/strong> to care for our pets whenever we need an extra hand.”<\/em><\/p>\n

      “Deborah has taken care of our <\/em>cats several times and we highly recommend her.<\/strong> She sends regular photo updates while we’re gone, clearly genuinely cares about our cats, and most importantly, we trust her and her judgment. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      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!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/i><\/p>\n

      “Deborah has become indispensable to our household.<\/strong> 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<\/strong> is a big part of that.<\/i><\/p>\n

      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.)<\/i><\/p>\n

      She is extremely dependable, a great communicator, an expert cat snuggler,<\/strong> and treats not just our kitties but our home with care. We’re lucky to work with her.”<\/i><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

      “Deborah has sat for our very rambunctious Bernese Mountain Dog and two cats (according to my husband, 1-7\/8 cats — one of them isn’t … quite right … ) any number of times, and I can recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      She’s reliable and responsible<\/strong> and has been wonderful about staying in touch while we’ve been gone.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Plus it’s evident she really is an animal person — our beasts adore her.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      -Willa Perlmutter \/\/\u00a0Bumpy, Boomer & Booger’s mom<\/p>\n\t

      “My two dogs absolutely love their walks with Deborah. She is fun, reliable, safe, and truly cares about animals.<\/strong> 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.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      -Leah King \/\/ Jack & Jill’s mom<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n\t

      \n\"\"<\/em>\n“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<\/strong> (except for when Deborah is asleep, at night of all times-it’s the best time for playing!!). <\/em>\n<\/article>\nDid 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. <\/em>\nMy 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. <\/em>\nSo 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.<\/em>\n\nOh 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.<\/strong> With that I must go and do whatever it is I feel like doing.<\/em>\n
