“Ariana was great with my senior dog and very skittish younger pup! She communicated throughout every visit and really made me feel my babies were not just safe but really cared for. Would absolutely book again. Thanks again Ariana!”

“Remy was so good on checking my boy Zeus twice a day while we were gone for the weekend. We definitively plan to use her in the future and hope that we can work our way to daycare days and boarding possibly. Thank you so much Remy!”


“Having Melissa check on our cats while we were out of town for two weeks gave us such peace of mind. We have a cat that we adopted many years ago, as well as a stray who adopted us but who still mainly lives outside and is very skittish around most humans. Both of the cats took a liking to her very quickly. We had been worried that our stray wouldn’t come around while we were away, but I think she was drawn to Melissa because of her calm and sweet demeanor. We will absolutely use her any time we travel now, and we would recommend her to anyone!”

“Raquel does a great job with the drop in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's also been flexible when we've had to reschedule and responsive to anything that you need to communicate. We've been using her visits once a week! Thanks for helping curb our pups boredom behaviors! ?”

“We hired Delilah to dogsit, and we organized a meet and greet, which went well. We ended up cancelling our booking due to outside circumstances, but we then rehired Delilah for a different occasion to pay a house visit and let our dogs out. Delilah is great at timely and clear communication. Will hire again.”

“Julissa was very thorough and attentive to my cats. I felt very safe leaving them in her care, even if an emergency happened while I was out of town. I’d definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Always treating each dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s energetic pups or laid-back seniors, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and provide the same level of care and attention you’d give yourself! I have a flexible hybrid job. I have the ability to care for pets because I don’t have a strict amount of time I have to be in the office everyday . I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my friendly senior dog who does well with others. I provide a calm, safe space and follow each pet’s routine closely feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of love. All introductions are done slowly and with care.
“I had an exceptional experience with Desdrianneja as my dog sitter. She provided outstanding care while I was away, maintained consistent communication, and shared regular photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. My dog returned home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate the level of care she provided, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend Desdrianneja to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet care provider.”

About: I always approach each pet with patience and curiosity to ensure they feel safe and to better understand each animal’s unique personality! I have experience with all sizes of dogs, senior dogs and timid/reactive dogs too. I have cared for the pets of friends and family members, as well as growing up with my own dog who I cared for in her senior years and I now have two cats. I am currently working from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can schedule my day around your pets needs, but the more notice I have, the better I can adapt! For drop in visits and walks, I make sure to approach carefully and patiently to build trust. Each animal has a different history and personality, which I make it my goal to understand and adapt to.
“Marleigh did a fantastic job! I am an anxious pet parent and she sent a lot of pictures, kept me updated and gave our boys lots of loving. Will definitely ask her the petsit again!”

“I just met Ashley, and I can already tell my dog will be in great hands. She has a calm, confident energy and a lot of experience with dogs, which immediately put me at ease. She asked all the right questions and genuinely cares about making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I feel very confident leaving my dog with her!”


“Brittaney was an awesome cat sitter who we'll definitely use again! She was so sweet during all of our communication and even offered to stop by for a visit ahead of time so I could walk her through where everything was located. She took great care of my kiddos and sent tons of pictures as well. I highly recommend using her services!”

“This is my 5th time using Alexia. She’s extremely convenient and easy to work with. Communication is prompt as well. She does a great job of only communicating when necessary, which is nicer than you think while on vacation.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have experience dog sitting for family and friends when they're out of town, and can be a dependable, fun, and caring dog sitter or dog walker for you. Since I don't have a dog of my own right now, I welcome the opportunity to help you take care of yours! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule to help your dog get some exercise, play, and be cared for when you're busy or out of town. Whether your dog needs some exercise, play time, belly rubs, or to be fed, I'm happy to give them the love and attention they deserve. You can book me for drop in visits, dog sitting, and/or dog walking.

Gabriella took great care of our girls while we were out on vacation. She was attentive in making sure that the girls were doing well and sent us detailed follow ups throughout the daily check-ins. We will definitely be looking for her help in the future.
Stephanie has been absolutely WONDERFUL and soooooooooo accommodating to my crazy schedule. my pups are not the easiest dogs AT ALL:( theyre very reactive and extremely anxious and scared.She has taken time to let them warm up to her and is willing to continue visits to allow my dogs to warm up to her! Her husband david has also been soooooo helpful in helping me with my reactive/scared/angry pups.
