Beautiful West Virginia and happy Kitties
Deb’s home is so lovely. Surrounded by nature yet close to everything! The cats may sound intimidating, but everything is very well organized and they are sweet, fun and full of personality! The dogs are super easy, friendly, and love a good walk! You get to feed deer, watch birds, and enjoy the best of the area while staying in a home that’s like a museum. I highly recommend the opportunity to stay and help out Deb. We hope to return one day!

Housesit for cat lovers.
We spent two enjoyable weeks looking after Deborah’s cats in her beautiful house in a wooded estate subdivision near Charleston, West Virginia. The house was spacious, comfortable and light filled. Deborah kindly took us out to dinner on our arrival and spent a day showing us around the house, the feeding schedules for the dogs and cats, and the neighborhood. We were made to feel very welcome.

Heavenly Mountain Experience
I had arrived to town way ahead of time and Deborah took me in. I really enjoyed the time, together, before she left. She lives on top of a beautiful mountain, her sun room and views are angelic. Having help come twice a week isn't something we typically get and it was super helpful and nice. I teared up, leaving her animals, my kids and I loved the time we spent with them and although sixteen cats may seem like too many, you will find yourself wishing for more! lol I chuckle and smile, thinking of their different personalities, habits and they're just so cute and sweet! She definitely has a great system (purposeful, ingenious and clean) in place for the care of all the pets and plants. We enjoyed doing the tasks (my daughter would insist on/be eager to do some herself lol). OH, did I mention there's deer, too!?! HOPING we can sit again, or even just visit!

Fun sit!
I enjoyed my short five day sit with Deborah's kitties so much, I booked a three week sit with her in the future! The house, the location, the felines, pups, and Deborah herself, were all wonderful. The number of cats might sound intimidating, but they get along well, are easy to take care of, and are enjoyable company. I am looking forward to spending more time with Deborah and her fur babies.
