Pet care experience

Let me love your fur family!

I've had cats my entire life and dogs for the last 15 years. Currently I have 6 cats and 2 dogs. I have a way of getting chosen by animals lol. We have many strays in our neighborhood and the cat distribution system seems to know I won't let them die lol. I have bottle fed many, including 4 of the six I currently own. I had a third dog but he sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in March after 14 loving years. My dogs need medication daily and I have no problem giving it to them. These experiences will only help me to take care of your fur family to the best of my ability!

Desiré was more than amazing, loving and great with our pups. It was also a last minute booking and her schedule was flexible. I enjoyed her report cards because they were very thorough and she provided a plethora of photos. 10/10 highly recommended, will be using her next time.

Desiré was fantastic! I really appreciate sitters like her who proactively communicate their schedules and keep you updated on when they’ll return. She sent updates throughout the day and was always quick to respond whenever I checked in. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Holly absolutely loves her—you can instantly tell she’s a true dog person!🩵

Desiré did a huge favor for my husband and I! We needed a dog sitter for our baby boy Kovu last minute and I can’t be more thankful that she was available! Even though it was last minute, she was on time for when Kovu needed to be fed and taken out. She showed him love while we were away and even put calming music for him so he didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. Will definitely hire her again 100%!!
