Dog mom and loves all animals!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Destiny. I’ve had a mix of dogs and cats since the age of 3. Throughout the years, I’ve been given the responsibilities of taking care of them on my own. I now have my own dog named Nalu who is a Pomsky mix and got her at 12 weeks. She is now 3 years old. I have also adopted a cat and named her Pumpkin! She’s over 2 y/o and a Calico kitty. I am familiar with all ages of pets! I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and would love to give them walks and play time! If you have any further questions please contact me. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, and thank you so much for considering!

Des has taken my dog, Owen, for daily walks during my illness. She has been excellent at communicating with me, being on time, following instructions, and giving Owen a great walk. I’ve already booked her again.

Des was available last minute for me and kept me in the loop on text updates for the pets. Super sweet and caring to my husky and cat!

Information Des L. would like to know about your pet

Feeding and potty schedule is important! if there are any specific behaviors to look out for. Do they get territorial over food, etc? Are they friendly with other animals, if encountered on a walk? Any other details even minor please let me know!

A typical day

I love to play fetch and going on long walks with dogs! I feel that gets a lot of their energy out and about! If there is a fenced in park nearby that is also a great option. Any toys they like, you got it, I’ll play with them!
