Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Desi. I want to tell you a little about myself so you know who is caring for your fur kids. It is my passion to work with dogs, cats and all creatures. My career started 20 years ago at a Humane Society who I was with for eight years. I worked as a vet assistant for several years and then went on to manage at a canine campus. Now I’m working for myself in caring for animals. I have worked with most medical conditions that dogs, carts and other creatures may have. I have experience with dogs who have special behavior or temperaments. If your animal has special needs or temperament, I have the time and patience to get to know your pets needs. I love all animals and have no discriminations. I look forward to meeting your fur baby(s) and building a wonderful friendship.

I can’t recommend Desi enough! She took great care of our dog, Lily, while we were away. I received photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind. Desi even stayed in our house while we were away to give our dog the extra attention she needs. She went above and beyond for our long trip. We will absolutely be booking Desi again!

This is the second time we have had Desi watch our pit bull and my dog loves her! Desi follows her medication schedule and sends me lovely pictures throughout the day! We will always have her watch my girl!

Desi was absolutely awesome. She was very professional and loving. Our babies fell in love with her as soon as she walked into the house. Desi made us feel like we were leaving our babies with family. We would definitely recommend her for your babies. We will be utilizing her during our upcoming travel season.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
