Pet care experience

Profession: Full Time Pet Lover :)❤

I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was young and grew up surrounded with animals. Through this time, I have helped my family and friends with their pet care needs, including helping out a good friend with their boarding business over the past year. My background is in healthcare for over 10 yrs, mostly in senior care and physical therapy. I’ve also volunteered at the SPCA as well as adopted my now 3yr old puppy, Mocha at 8weeks old and a 7-month-old kitten, Oreo.

Desire helped us out in a pinch with a very last minute request to dog sit for us over the weekend just before an ice storm. She took great care of our dog. She sent us videos of our pup playing happily which helped us relax and feel great about leaving her with someone new. We’re so grateful and happy we found her!

Desiré was such a good sitter for our dog and cat! She was very communicative, kept them engaged, and shared lots of photos and videos with us. She was able to keep up with our high energy dog and worked with us around pick up times and scheduling.
