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.

Could tell she took really good care of my Z. You can tell she really loves what she does and that she truly cares for the animals. My only “issue” was I had to prompt check ins. Everyone’s communication style is different, but I definitely would’ve appreciated more check ins.

Desire took great care of Kiva and Roy and they came back well walked and in good spirits. We had a cancellation last minute and Desire was able to fit them in on short notice.
