Debra is incredible! I am a first time pet owner with a shy cat that takes a while to trust people, but Debra is so kind and patient with her every time. She sends texts with updates about your pet, photos, and sometimes even videos of your pet whenever she is scheduled to stop by! It really makes me feel at ease while traveling knowing my girl Fiona is safe and happy. The online booking and payment system is also quick and efficient which is a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend this business! Attached are some photos Debra has sent me during her visits.

In June of this year, I set out on an internet search for someone who could transport my aging dog, Tashi, back and forth to her weekly veterinary rehab appointments.

After a painstaking effort, I chose Debra from Always Loving Pet Care. Each review of Debra was full of sincerity, of earnest appreciation for the way she cared for people’s critters and how she ran her business. From the very first interaction with Debra, I knew that I had found the right person. She came over for a meet and greet and was both kind to and interested in Tashi. Debra also already had a ramp to help Tashi get into and out of her car, which confirmed for me that she was sensitive to the needs of older pets.. She has been reliable, professional, communicative, warm and caring. She always kept me updated with texts and pictures, letting me know when she left her home to go get Tashi at ours, when she picked her up, when she arrived at the vet’s office, when she dropped her back off at home. I could tell by Tashi’s expressions and body language in the pictures that she felt completely at ease and cared for when she was with Debra.

This fact, combined with the way Debra runs her business is why we chose her to pet sit when we went on vacation. If she had not been available, I would have stayed home with my aging pup and her little brother. It went great, of course! Debra’s communication about the dog's status was spot on, and not something you get with a boarding facility. It is hard to find words to describe how wonderful it felt to know that our dogs were at home in the environment they know (especially with Tashi nearly blind), with one person giving them personalized attention instead of being ignored in a dog run.

Heartbreakingly, we had to say goodbye to our Tashi shortly after we returned from vacation. I texted Debra to tell her that Tashi’s osteosarcoma had caused her humerus to fracture completely in half and we were at the vet’s office preparing for her journey across the Rainbow Bridge. I was sitting in the exam room alone, waiting for my partner, his child and our other dog, Ravi to arrive when I heard a knock on the door. It opened, and it was Debra, who hugged me and sat with me and cried. Tashi got to feel how much she mattered to Debra just moments before she transitioned and our family knew that we weren’t just people who gave Debra money to do a job. Tashi liked Debra so much that she tried to get up on her broken arm bone with no regard for pain when she saw her (of course, we settled her down).

Debra is a regular part of our lives now—three mornings a week she comes to take our Ravi for walks and is our pet sitter. We didn’t want Ravi to feel so alone after losing his sister, who he had never spent one single night without until she passed way. We are relieved that we don’t have to put him in a kennel. One day we came home to a lovely framed picture of our Tashi and a card on our kitchen counter, and the picture is now on display in our home. The text message updates from Debra about Ravi always accentuate just how tuned into animals she is. As I described above, she is never just going through the motions to get paid—she truly pays attention to the personality and needs of the animals in her care and nothing ever feels transactional.

If you want the luxury of being able to fully relax and enjoy yourself when your pets are in the care of someone else, you have found your pet care professional in Debra. You’ll be grateful you found her and so will the precious family members you call pets.

Debra is THE BEST PET SITTER I’ve ever had! She is SO CARING, loving, and sweet! I’ve trusted Debra with my precious pets for years. It is nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about my pets. She sends me videos and pictures so I can see how happy they are. She even brings her own toys and spends time playing with my kitties!

The only word that comes to mind is phenomenal! We've had many previous experiences with dog sitters that did not go well so we're a bit timid when it comes time to leave our babies. However, now that we've found Debbie, our hesitation and worries are completely gone. She is, by far, an amazing person and our babies, Tink and Cooper, absolutely love her. She does everything and more to put us at ease and put our babies at ease when we're gone. My only problem is that, because she's so incredible, I know I won't always be able to get her when I need her. But, good for her!!! Thank you, Debbie!

Debby is an awesome person and pups sitter. She goes the extra mile in taking pictures of your pups or any fur babies. She releases the stress about going somewhere and leaving your furbabies at home. Thank you again Debby

Debra always takes excellent care of our two cats while we travel. She takes the time to play with them, which they really enjoy, and makes sure they are well fed. She sends frequent updates to let us know they are doing well. We appreciate the security of knowing they are in good hands while we are away.

Debra is amazing! We’ve been using her for 3 years now. She’s so reliable and cares about our cats just as much as we do! She is very good at communicating and will send you daily updates. She has even brought over toys for our cats just because she wants to! We trust her completely with our little fur balls! We feel so very grateful to have her around when we are gone. I know our pets are in GREAT hands with Debra! High recommend her and her company!
