Experienced & Responsible Pet Lover
Pet care experience
As a child my parents told my brother and myself that we could have any pets that we could take care of ourselves. We then started a small zoo, with turtles, rabbits, lizards, dogs, and anything else we rescued! At the age of 10 I started pet sitting and taking care of neighbors pets as well as my own. I have volunteered for rescue organizations as well as kept up with pet sitting. Now that my children are in their teen years I find that I have time on my hands to enter back into the world of animal care more than ever before. I work a full time job in addition to volunteering as a Girl Scout troop leader, but would love to help take care of pets in my downtime.
Reviews
Receptive to my instructions. Understood my cats' boundaries but was able to pay with them. Sent pics every day. Checked to make sure the cats were healthy and didn't make a mess.
So grateful for Desirea’s help taking care of Pepper today! Very responsive, punctual, and shared pics. I felt confident my Pepper was being well cared for. I will definitely request Desirea’s help again.
Desirea is easy to communicate with, reliable, flexible, and overall great! She sends updates and happy pics of my furbaby. Couldn’t ask for a better person to drop in and take care of my dog for an hour while I am at work. I am so grateful and I totally recommend her services!
Desirea is awesome! My baby loves her!

I am happy to take care of client's pets in their homes. I follow their instructions explicitly and am more than happy to send pictures of their well cared for furbabies.
Information Desirea L. would like to know about your pet
If they are dog or people reactive, what commands they know, what their activity level is like, if they have any food allergies or if they're on a special diet.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks, either around their neighborhood or for a hike at Santa Teresa or Quicksilver. Playing catch is the best! Sometimes they just need a good cuddle session, though. When I'm watching cats I like to wear them out by playing with feathers or little stuffed toys. They also love cuddles and being brushed. Guinea pigs and rabbits love to be played with, too!

I have a full time job and also volunteer, but both are flexible. My preference at this time is for dog walks and pet visits. Please reach out to me to see if our scheduled coincide!
