Pet care experience
Experienced and Trustworthy
About Debbie’s Pet Care ____________________ Exceptional pet care begins with genuine trust. At Debbie’s Pet Care, I believe every pet deserves personalized attention, unwavering compassion, and the comfort of maintaining their routine in the place they know best. With over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I have dedicated my career to providing an elevated pet care experience that gives both pets and their families complete peace of mind. Since establishing Debbie’s Pet Care in 2021, I have built my reputation on professionalism, reliability, and treating every animal as though they were my own. Personalized Care ____________________ Unlike larger pet care companies, I intentionally provide individualized, one-on-one attention tailored to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether caring for a playful puppy, a senior companion, a shy cat, or a multi-pet household, every visit is thoughtfully designed to keep your pet comfortable, engaged, and stress-free. My philosophy is simple: consistency, patience, and genuine affection create the happiest pets. Professional Standards ____________________ Your trust is something I value deeply. Debbie’s Pet Care is fully insured, providing an added layer of protection and confidence while your pets are in my care. I maintain high professional standards and am committed to clear communication, dependable scheduling, and exceptional service from our first meeting through every visit. Experience That Matters ____________________ Growing up surrounded by farm animals gave me an early appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every species. From caring for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes—including large breeds such as German Shepherds—to tending to farm animals and small pets, I bring a calm, experienced approach to every home I enter. Every animal deserves to be understood as an individual, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel secure while you’re away. An Elevated Experience ____________________ My services extend beyond basic pet sitting. I strive to create an experience that feels seamless for both you and your pets through attentive care, detailed communication, and thoughtful updates that allow you to travel or work with complete confidence. Whether you need daily walks, cat care, overnight stays, boarding, medication administration, or customized care for multiple pets, my goal is always the same: to provide the highest level of service while ensuring your pets remain happy, healthy, and loved. I would be honored to care for your beloved companions and look forward to building a lasting relationship founded on trust, reliability, and exceptional care.

Ratings and reviews
Rover is a great service for us to use when we travel. Our dog likes staying with Rover far better than staying at our vets office. First time having Debbie watch him and he seemed quite happy in the photos she provided us daily. Will use her again.
Debbie is hands-down THE BEST! Not only were our pets cared for like her own, but our house was as well. Coming back from an international trip to happy pets and a clean house was truly incredible! We will ask for Debbie to watch our pets again without a doubt. I deeply appreciate her communication, forethought, and transparency. As an anxious pet momma, I cannot say enough about Debbie and the care she provides!
Debbie took great care of our boys, got them lots of exercise, and sent lots of pics!!
Debbie took amazing care of our four pets: three cats and a dog , and we couldn’t be happier. From day one, she treated them like her own. She followed all our instructions perfectly, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave each pet the individual attention they needed. Our pets can be a handful, but Debbie handled everything with patience, love, and genuine care. We came home to happy, relaxed animals and a clean, well-kept home. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals. Debbie is everything pet owners wish for in a pet sitter — and so much more. We trust her completely and will absolutely book her again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much Debbie! Blue was in a good hands at this busy summer, we are traveling a lot and sometimes it gets hard to plan for our little friend, but Debbie was very accommodating.
Debbie was great and provided my two pups all the love and care.

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time career, not just a side job. My schedule is intentionally built around providing dependable, personalized care for every pet I look after. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, or boarding, I carefully plan my days to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. My journey as a professional pet sitter has been enriched by the incredible Rover community. A heartfelt thank you to all of my wonderful clients who have trusted me with their beloved pets over the past 6 years. I truly can’t believe how quickly the time has flown—6 YEARS! 🥹🥹🥰 Every pet I’ve cared for has become part of my story, and I’m so grateful for the relationships and memories we’ve built together. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love. It is my privilege to provide reliable, compassionate, high-quality care that gives both pets and their families complete peace of mind. ❤️
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My priority is creating a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can maintain their normal routine and feel secure in my care. Building Trust & Reducing Anxiety I believe trust is earned through patience, consistency, and kindness. I allow pets to get to know me at their own pace, using gentle interactions and positive reinforcement to build a strong bond. My goal is for every pet to feel relaxed, confident, and genuinely happy during our time together. Support for Separation Anxiety Many pets experience stress when their owners are away. I provide companionship, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of affection to help reduce anxiety and keep them engaged. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I tailor my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Personalized Care for Every Pet No two pets are alike. I carefully follow each family’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, house rules, favorite activities, and daily routines. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, shy, or has special medical or behavioral needs, I provide attentive, individualized care designed specifically for them. Safety Comes First Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. I maintain a clean, secure environment, monitor pets closely, and communicate promptly if any concerns arise. I also carry pet care insurance for added peace of mind and am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pet but also complete peace of mind for you through dependable communication, thoughtful updates, and compassionate, professional service.

A typical day
Enriching Walks & Exercise Every walk is about more than just getting from point A to point B. I tailor each outing to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality while allowing plenty of time for safe sniffing and exploration. Scent work is one of the most enriching activities for dogs, providing valuable mental stimulation alongside physical exercise. Whether your dog enjoys an adventurous walk, a leisurely stroll, or an energetic game of fetch, I adapt each visit to what makes them happiest. Mental Enrichment & Interactive Play Keeping pets mentally engaged is just as important as physical exercise. I have a variety of enrichment tools that I can bring to visits, including KONG® toys, freezable enrichment toys, snuffle mats, lick mats, puzzle toys, and interactive games. These activities help reduce boredom, build confidence, encourage natural foraging behaviors, and provide a fun, rewarding experience—especially for puppies, highly intelligent breeds, and pets that experience separation anxiety. My goal is for every visit to leave your pet happy, fulfilled, and looking forward to our next adventure together.
