Desiree and Blessing are just that a blessing! Thank you for having Amorra although she thinks she’s more human than dog lol. She really enjoyed herself she’s been smiling since we picked her up. I know I said she loved men but she fell in love with Desiree fast. We would definitely use you guys in the future again thank you so much!!!

Desiree and her husband are a blessing. Our boy Jade is happy, better trained, and all around beautiful. They truly cared for him and made him a part of their family. Desiree sent us son many comforting pics and videos throughout his stay. They will truly love and care for your gem. We call them Jade's God Parents. He loves them and they clearly love him! Our new family!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I’ve structured my schedule to make sure i have plenty of time each day for walks, feedings, playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whether I am at home or out for a walk, pets are always my priority. Because I work from home I am able to give pets the consistent care, supervision, and love they deserve throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, cozy, and completely pet-friendly — free from hazards, with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. If I’m in your home, I respect your space as if it were my own, keeping things tidy and secure. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Their happiness, health, and your peace of mind is our top priorities.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. We’ll start with a nice morning walk or some playtime to burn off energy. Throughout the day, I make sure they get plenty of attention — whether that’s fetch in the field right outside, tug-of-war, or just belly rubs and cuddle time. For dogs that enjoy it, we’ll go on walks, explore the neighborhood, or have safe outdoor play. I stick to your pet’s routine for meals, potty breaks, and nap time, and I’m always tuned in to their needs. Plus, you’ll get photo updates so you can see the fun too!

Before caring for any pet, I like to know their routine, personality, and any special needs they might have. Things like: • Do they have any allergies or medical conditions? • How do they get along with other dogs or new people? • Are there any fears, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of? • What’s their favorite activity or toy? • Feeding and potty schedule. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for — just like they would at home.
