Hi, I’m Debbie

You can relax while you travel, knowing your pets are getting loving, customized, attentive care.

For me, it’s not just a job.

I have a huge passion for animals and a nurturing spirit. The Sacramento area has been my home all my life and knowing I can offer people peace of mind when it comes to their pets and their homes is very special to me. I truly treat every pet as if they are my own; each is unique and exceptional.

Testimonials

Bezzell

Finding Debbie, The Pet Nanny of East Sac, has been one of the best finds ever. The unique care she gives our pet children is second to none. We are able to have a much more relaxed vacation knowing she is taking such good care of our loved ones. One of our favorite things is coming home to our cats and reading their 'daily journal' from the time we were away. I am a professional photographer yet she takes the BEST photos of our cats (not kidding, much better than mine). Her photos make us happy when we are away. Debbie also helps to watch over and care for our house. She waters our plants, takes in the mail and keeps an eye out for anything needed. One can easily find a pet sitter but not one as kind, caring, thoughtful, loving, responsible and giving as Debbie. She is one in a billion.

Maggie

We couldn't go anywhere if we didn't have Debbie to cat sit. She is completely responsible and knows exactly what to do. She leaves notes to tell you how the visits went and will let you know if she notices anything unusual. We always worry when we leave the 'kids' but she sends pics and assures you all is fine. She always instills complete confidence, and her excellent care of our outdoor plants is a wonderful perk! We don't know what we would do without her!

Cathy-Jean

We have been using Debbie as a dog sitter for almost 8 years now. She is the absolute best! Our dog, Cathy Jean, loves her to death, and Debbie treats her as if she was her own. We completely trust Debbie on overnight visits, and we have absolute peace of mind that our dog is being well taken care of and is given tons of attention while we are gone. What we like the most about Debbie is that she sends us pictures and videos while we are gone of her playing with our dog, giving her attention, etc. We always come home to a clean house, a very happy dog and notes left on our table telling us about her day-to-day activities with our dog. Debbie is the absolute best, and I highly recommend her.

Sydney

From the first time I met Debbie, it was evident that she possesses a special connection with animals and Sydney is living proof (Debbie also cared for my previous pet, Benny the cat). Debbie has been an integral part of Sydney’s life since she was a puppy. Her consistency and unwavering commitment to providing the best care have made all the difference. One of my biggest concerns is ensuring Sydney gets the exercise and attention she needs while I am at work. Debbie takes Sydney on walks and engages her in playtime, keeping her rambunctious spirit satisfied. It’s a great relief to know Sydney is in such capable hands during those long workdays. I cannot recommend Debbie enough to anyone seeking a professional who goes above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of your furry companion.

Rocko

i have trusted Debbie to care for my cat Rocko for many years, especially when I am traveling away from home. I can always count on Debbie to help when needed and she gives Rocko undivided attention and love, which I am forever grateful for. She has also administered his subcutaneous fluids on a regular basis when he was sick. On top of all that, she even brings my mail inside, waters my plants and other small tasks when I'm away for long periods. Debbie is a lifesaver!
