Desire did a great job watching my Cavapoo for a week while I was on vacation. Photos and videos every day. The individual attention my dog received was amazing! Highly recommend!

Desire and her daughter took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! They were kind, flexible with drop-off, and understanding when our dog was a bit anxious at first. Their home is very cozy and in a nice area for walks, both of which Duke loved. We appreciated all the adorable photo and video updates! Would be happy to book with them again in the future.

Desire and her daughter were fantastic! My first time using Rover, it was a week vacation, so needless to say I was a bit nervous. They couldn't have been better. I received regular updates, and Higgins was happy and healthy. Seems it was a good vacation for both of us.

Desire was a fantastic sitter for my dog Cinna! She checked in multiple times each day with pictures & videos. She responded almost immediately every time we talked. She was incredibly helpful & friendly & made my time away even more enjoyable knowing Cinna was being cared for so well.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 2 story house, and a basement. My backyard is average sized, but not gated. I do not own any other pets and I live with a family of 4, there are no children under the age of 15. Smoke is not permitted in our house. Also, I live 7 minutes away from Cleveland Hopkins airport if you’re boarding your pet while you’re on vacation, a parking space is available for you.

A typical day

Playing fetch is my forte. I live near a variety of parks, I’m only a few streets away from the metro-parks. I often times love to go see the sunset by the lake, it’s the perfect place to bring any fur baby.

Please notify me if your dog has any social troubles, whether they are anxious being left alone or if they have trouble interacting with other dogs (for walking safety.) If your dog needs any special care please let me know, I have limited experience with dogs with special needs and elderly dogs, but I’m always willing to learn and adapt to your dog.
