Pet care experience

Experienced Pet/Dog Sitter/Walker

I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with a Fear Free certification in small animals and birds and a CPR certification for small animals. Whether it is a dog, cat, hamster, parrot, or bearded dragon, I have the experience to provide the best care available to your furry, scaly, or feathered friend! My LVT status can assure you that I will make sure your pet is healthy throughout my time with them. My Fear Free certification aids me in working with more reactive pets if that is a concern. If your pet has any medical needs, I have experience in giving all medications whether it be by mouth or injection. My work history includes working in a veterinary hospital for four years, a boarding/daycare facility for 7 years, and I have volunteered at the Humane Society walking the shelter dogs. I have four dogs of my own, although two of them are in their geriatric stage, my other two can offer some fun play times! I offer Dog walking, Dog daycare, Dog overnight boarding, and Drop-in visits for any species of pets! If you have any special requests, please message me and I will gladly reply and work with you. I look forward to meeting your best companions!!

I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch over my dogs! Desiree was super responsive, kept me updated, and even sent me daily pics of my dogs. I could tell they were well taken care of and will definitely be booking again

We love Desiree! We have come to rely on Desiree for our dog care while on vacation. I am very appreciative of her availability and reliability.

Desiree has watched our cats 3 times now, and we will always rebook with her when we can! Our cats are older and have health issues, and she’s great with them. Plus she’s always on time, and our cats recognize her and come out to greet her. Thank you Desiree!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a couple playful dogs to keep anyone company. If your friend loves to play, we got you covered! I have a crate, but mainly only use it for feeding time.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on your dogs activity level/needs, I can provide walks around my neighborhood. Usually, when I get everyone in the backyard, they chase each other. They love to play fetch, so that will be in the mix!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Desiree can host up to 1 pet per night
If the dog has any existing health conditions that I should know about, just in case. If there are any behaviors you would like me to watch out for that you may be working on with the dog. (ex: jumping up, 'counter surfing', etc.)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
