Debbie's Purrfect Cat Sitting Service

I'm Debbie

Cat Sitting in Hephzibah, GA

I have loved cats since I was 5 years old. My first two cats were 2 beautiful calicos.

I am early-retired and I thought cat-sitting with Meowtel would give me something to do in my spare time, but it quickly became a second career, as I work nearly everyday! 😻
But when you truly love what you do, it's not even work, it's passion! 💞

I have volunteered in the past at the CSRA Humane Society helping to socialize shy, timid cats, in hopes of helping them adjust to people and earn their forever homes...

I have volunteered in the past at the CSRA Humane Society helping to socialize shy, timid cats, in hopes of helping them adjust to people and earn their forever homes.

I live in Hephzibah, Georgia, and am available across the Augusta-Richmond County area, to include West Augusta to South Augusta, and its surrounding suburbs of Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, and even over the river in North Augusta, SC.

If your cat is sociable, and loves to play, I highly suggest scheduling visits of at least 45 minutes. Oftentimes, depending on the feeding and litter set up you have, these things can take up most, if not all, of a short 20-minute visit, leaving your kitty no time for play and exercise. 😿 For only $10 more, your visit more than doubles, and every bit of that extra time goes into play, pets and loving, whatever the kitty is most comfortable with! 😺 Pick me and I will care for your cats just like I do my own, giving them tender loving care. Your cats will thank you! ♥️ Meow on! 😺

Learn More About Debbie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat-sitting with Meowtel for 5 years. Check out my gallery page featuring many of my satisfied kitty clients! 😺

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know each kitty, finding out what they're motivated by; either treats, play or love, and then tailoring my visits with them to their meet their particular need.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation involves kitties that are active and like to play, or just quiet and want a warm lap to curl up in.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats--a Torbico (tortoiseshell/calico) named Phoebe, 🩷 a gray-spotted male tabby named Gizmo 💙 and a long-haired female black cat with 3 white patches, named Spooky.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Find someone who truly loves cats! 🐈♥️🐈‍⬛🧶 🐾 And who is not afraid to be thought of as a "crazy cat lady." 😸

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Meeting them and their kitty/ies, finding out specifically what motivates each individual kitty, so I can tailor my visits to best meet the need of the kitty/ies.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

1) I lock the door behind me each and every time I enter a home. 2) I would not answer the door if someone knocked. 3) To ensure no kitty escapes ever happen on my watch, I bring a few cat treats in my hand to the exit door when leaving, and I will toss them the opposite way of the door, and exit quickly! (The Red Dot 🔴 toy works well for this purr-pose too!)

Are you usually available during holidays?

ALWAYS! This is when cat parents need me the most! 😺 I tend to fill up very quickly, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What is your favorite cat toy?

RED DOT, (a.k.a., laser pointer), hands down!! 🔴 Few cats can resist its charms! 😸 For those who can, there's a variety of wands to try. Feathers often do the trick!!!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

With patience and calmness. I talk to them throughout the visit, even if I can't physically touch them. If they peek out from behind a piece of furniture, I will offer my fist for the kitty to first smell, and then rub up against if he or she desires. If this is accepted, I will open up my hand to offer an ear rub, a gesture that cats usually love. 💕

Debbie is simply INCREDIBLE! My 15 year old Missy is a formerly feral sweetheart who was transitioned inside only 4 years ago. We lived in a very rural, private area until moving to this area 8 months ago- Missy rarely saw lots of people so she remains very shy and anxious around other human beings. It was simply amazing to see her interact with Debbie right away, even in the “meet and greet”! She actually never hid, let Debbie stroke her, and “talked” to Debbie. subsequent to the meet up, Debbie provided visits, caring for Missy while I have been away. Debbie- sends pictures and videos every single day and my girl has been so present with Debbie- purring, head butts, making biscuits, talking to Debbie! Debbie- has an innate skill with feline friends- that is a fact! Since arriving to this area, I have now used 3 cat sitters including Debbie. Each one has been excellent but I do have to say Debbie is exceptional. There is no doubt I will request her services again! Thank you, Debbie!

Debbie did a fabulous job watching my 3 cats while I was out of town! She did everything she said she would do and always sent me detailed accounts of how the visit went. I loved all the photos and videos as well! Two of my cats are very skittish with new people but she won them over in no time. Debbie will definitely be my first call when I need a sitter from now on.

Debbie took wonderful care of Willow and Bramble. She took extra effort to find Willow who can be very shy. She sent charming videos and kept us up to date on all the details of the cats' care.

Debbie was amazing!! 💕 She took such great care of my cats and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was super easy to communicate with, reliable, and just genuinely kind. One of my cats is super playful and loves attention, and my other two are definitely more on the shy side, but Debbie was so great with all of them. She made sure my playful one got lots of attention and was so patient with my shy ones… and they all ended up coming out to play 🥹 She also sent so many pictures and really detailed updates, which I appreciated so much. It made me feel like I knew exactly how they were doing the whole time. She was incredibly flexible when my plans changed, which meant more than I can say and made a stressful situation so much easier. I would 100% book with Debbie again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and just overall wonderful 🐾💗

This the third time Debbie has cared for my cat Jasmine and my extremely shy cat remembered her to come out of her usual hiding places to play laser tag with Debbie. I have no hesitation about leaving my cat in Debbie's care. Debbie followed my specific instructions about what to feed Jasmine. She treats my cat in the same excellent manner she does with her own cats.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Hephzibah cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
