Fun, Loving, Active Companion

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets since I knew how to walk. Dogs and cats were always part of my household growing up and were a highlight of my childhood. I love the genuine affection and loyalty animals have to those that they form a bond with. I am the family member and friend that people call to watch their pets when they are out of town.

Desiré is one of the kindest people you’ll meet. She was recommended to me by a friend, I had her walk my three dogs while I was out of town for the week. She was amazing she sent me updates made sure they had food and water at all times she even stayed a few extra mins to play with them my dogs just love her she’s becoming a good friend to me and to my doggies

Desire’ is a very kind pet loving person. She has kept my three dogs for me multiple times over the last ten years. My dogs absolutely love her. They greet her with wagging tails, excited whines of joy, and lots of dog kisses. She will hold them, lay in the floor to play with them, and even take them for walks. I absolutely trust her to take care of my dogs and to make sure they are safe, feed, and loved while I am away. Sincerely, Vickie Dragoo

Desiré is absolutely amazing with not just pets but as a human. I have been friends for her for years. I went outta town a few times this year. Every single time I chose Desiré. My pets were always taking care of. She loves animals so much sometimes when she comes over she greets them before she greets me. She comes at appropriate times, she even gave me updates without me asking. She’s very trust worthy, and if she has to enter a strangers home you don’t have to worry about anything going missing or that ever being problem. I even recommend her to another friend who absolutely loved her services.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets generally need affection, playtime and feeding. I love to get outside and go for walks or just throw a ball with dogs. Cats are usually more relaxed so I like to pet them and play with some cat toys if available.

I’m able to visit early in the mornings until afternoon the days I work and the days I’m off I am available all day. I love drop in visits or just walking dogs if you don’t have the time to get a dose of exercise in for myself every day !
