Pet care experience

Eat. Play. Love.

I have hands-on experience caring for family pets, making sure they’re well-fed, bathed, exercised, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I’ve also owned and personally trained my own dog, which is where my training experience comes from. While I wouldn’t consider myself a professional dog trainer, I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands such as sit, stay, lie down, no, and off. Additionally, I’ve worked in a doggy daycare facility, where I monitored dogs and their behaviors, helped maintain a safe and fun environment, and responded quickly to any issues by assessing situations and working with staff to ensure every dog’s safety and well-being.

Desia F. Took excellent care of my furbaby. Desia kept me updated with photos and videos during King's stay and promptly called with concerns when my spoiled baby would not eat. I won't hesitate to use her services again for my baby.

Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.

I’ve worked closely with Desia and can confidently say she upholds the responsibility and care required for the animals under her supervision. She is incredibly kind, genuine, and committed to their well-being.

Schedule

I work Monday - Thursday from 6:30am - 2pm and Sunday 8:30am - 3pm I am able to provide constant updates and plenty of photos throughout your pet’s stay during my days off as-well as on the days that I work. I’ll follow all requested feeding schedules, take your loved one on walks, and make full use of the fenced dog park at my apartment. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet stays active, happy, and surrounded by love and attention while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

Although I live in an apartment, your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority. My living space is open and uncluttered, giving pets plenty of room to relax. They’re welcome to use their own beds and toys or any toys I provide. Pets are always closely supervised, including during visits to my apartment’s dog park. For added safety, the kitchen will be gated off, and bathrooms and my main bedroom.

Pets

A typical day

Living in an apartment means most playtime happens indoors with toys, but I’m always happy to take pets outside when needed and making full use of the apartments dog park. Walks are typically done in the morning, afternoon, and evening/night, and I can absolutely provide more frequent walks if requested.

I’d love to know about any special feeding schedules, whether your pet is crate trained (and if they’ll be bringing a crate), if they have any separation anxiety, and how long they’re comfortable being alone if needed. This helps me provide the best care possible.
