Highlights
Pet care experience
10 Yrs XP, Dog Mother, Coffee Lover
I have 10 years of experience with my own disabled dog which has provided me the opportunity to learn how to tend to both puppies and senior dogs. Some skills include: - Provide dietary accommodations - Stick to a strict schedule (outside, inside, play time, feeding time, etc) - Administer oral medication - Create new games and experiences for disabled dog without walks, with gentle mental games, and reducing overstimulation - Keep a watchful eye on behavior - Train puppies and older dogs (potty train, leash / walking, provide mental stimulation, learn commands and tricks like sit / lay down / stay / paw / dance / jump / go to bed) - Provide positive re-enforcement - Create a safe and loving atmosphere All dogs are different - some need extra cuddles and extra play time, while others need more space and quiet time to relax. Every dog deserves a high quality of life and to have their needs respected.

Ratings and reviews
Desirae takes such good care of my girls. Thanks for her flexibility with a last minute request.
Desirae goes above and beyond... the way she interacts with my two dogs and the time she spends with them. I know my girls are in good hands with Desirae.
Desirae treats our girls so well. So attentive and they love her. 🥰
Desirae is hands-down the best dog walker we’ve ever had for Tigger! Even after we moved she went way out of her way to keep walking him—driving the extra distance without hesitation. Tigger absolutely adores her; he gets so excited the second she shows up. She’s super reliable, always sends the cutest pics and videos mid-walk (love seeing his goofy grin), and makes sure he’s fed and watered. You can tell she genuinely cares—Tigger is happy, tired, and perfectly taken care of every time. If you need someone trustworthy, patient, and amazing with dogs, Desirae’s your person. We’re so grateful she stuck with us after the move! —Manny & Tigger 🐶

I can't tell you how comforting it is to know my girls are being taken care of by Desirae. She is so caring and she provides me guidance when I have questions and concerns about my dogs. She's the best! 🥰

Schedule
I usually work Monday-Sunday as needed. My common work hours are 9am-8pm, special requested hours can be accommodated upon availability. I can’t wait to come visit your dog(s) for some extra attention, walks, playtime, and training. Benefits of walks and home visits: - Reduces your dog’s anxiety during the day - Provides enrichment opportunities for your dog - Creates a strong bond between you and your dog during training practice - Reduces energetic dog’s need for play when you get home, AKA more time for relaxing cuddles after work - Walks can provide a 30 minute time of quiet for you during your day to make that important phone call or take some self-care time
