Pet care experience

Vet Assistant/Vet Tech Student

Greetings! My name is Desiree, and I eagerly anticipate meeting your beloved pets. I am currently a full-time student pursuing a career as a Vet Assistant and Vet Tech. My dedication lies in providing care for animals of all sizes. I possess many years of experience living with both cats and dogs. Our household includes three rescued dachshunds, two of whom are seniors and one is a young pup, all of whom play a significant role in our lives. I am actively involved in volunteering at the Santa Monica and Los Angeles Animal Shelters. I dedicate a considerable amount of my time to forming bonds with dogs and cats, preparing them for their forever homes. I take great pleasure in spending ample time with them.

I was grateful Desiree came to meet my dogs before I left town. My dogs were very comfortable with her (even the shyish one!) I would definitely request her walk my dogs again!

Personallly for us we were lucky to find her, she is always on time, always has a smile and gives us pointers on how treat the dogs and our dogs loved her. She is also very kind and patient with them and allows them to be dogs.

My dog & I love Desiree! She’s loving, but has a calm & cool demeanor that goes well with my dog’s energy. My Cane Corso is very comfortable with her. She’s great! And this is coming from someone who won’t leave their dog with just anybody.

I maintain a demanding school schedule; however, it is also quite flexible. I work part-time from Friday to Sunday during the late afternoons and evenings, and I typically have no difficulty in coordinating times that align with your animals' schedule.

I can't wait to meet your pet during our meet and greet! It's essential that we connect on the same energy for a more enjoyable bonding experience. I'm also open to any special requests or treatments for your animal to ensure they receive the best care.
