Experienced Petsitting Couple
Pet care experience
We’ve helped to care for dogs in various different states from abused and aggressive to passive and shy ones during our travels as a full-time traveler. We travel full time and we keep my calendar and location up-to-date. *IN PROVIDENCE, RI* Never be afraid to contact my fiancé (Glen) and I (Desiree) about if we’ll be in town. If we’re not chances are if you contact us I could possibly switch my location for when you need me mainly for house sittings. We love to go for long walks from 20 minutes to an hour around town to explore and also help with training and socialization for the dogs that we are watching. We take the time to really get to know my client as well as their pet to can gain the trust of both in order to better help their pets needs. I love being active and vocal with the pets that I watch I also make home made treats for pets with their parents permission as an additional incentive for the pet to understand that we are not here to be intruders but a friendly face that they will hopefully see often.
Reviews
Dee and Glen were amazing! They spent a lot of time playing and walking Holly. I would 100% book them again.
Dee was perfect for our pup! Took great care of her and worked on leash training and socialization. Can’t wait to have her watch our dog again!
Dee was wonderful - she took great care of my home, dogs, and chickens for a week. She sent me regular updates, photos, and a video and took care of things like getting the mail and overseeing a furniture delivery. She is friendly, professional, kind, and was flexible with last minute unexpected changes. I highly recommend her!
Desiree is the BEST! I would not hesitate to book with her if you have the chance! She is super accommodating and took my baby for a walk with short notice. She’ll send you updates and cute pictures and takes time to make sure your pup is happy as can be!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We remove any and all hazardous items from their reach and ww ensure that no animals enter the kitchen for their own safety. We regularly clean up after pets to maintain a clean and odor-free environment. If any messes do occur we promptly sanitize the area to prevent spreading germs. We ensure that your pet is leashed comfortably and correctly for their health and safety for all walks around their neighborhood. If we are sitting a dog who is not socialized their first few walks will be inside the neighborhood to work on building trust between them and myself as their primary handler. Then Glen we take over as a secondary holder to let them know that they can rely on more than one person to protect them and prioritize their needs. We also create small videos on how we obtain their with your fur baby. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to send me a message and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Information Desiree B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to be aware of I’ve personally handled blind, deaf, and physically disabled dogs.
A typical day
We love to play catch, going on jogs, hiking, making obstacle courses and so much more with the dogs that we sit for. We love creating new experiences for them.

Availability
I run my own tutoring business remotely working with young scholars, helping to create lesson plans, trainings and so much more. My fiancé Glen is a freelance digital artist and animator. We travel full time and stay in a country/city for months at a time and due to this it is always simple for me and my fiancé to establish a routine. Now how does help you? Well I’d love to tell you by breaking it down a bit more. 1. One of the benefits of being a business owner who works remotely is the flexibility to set my own schedule. 2. I plan my day in advance, allocating specific time slots for tutoring sessions, prep work, and pet-related tasks. 3. I communicate my availability to all of my clients and make adjustments as needed for emergencies without any hassle. 4. I offer flexible pet services such as pet sitting, walking, drop-in, and house sitting. I also update my services for when I do have the capacity for additional services. 5. I group similar tasks together to maximize my efficiency to provide enough one-on-one time with your furry friend/child. 6. I leverage technology to streamline my scheduling and communication. 7. There might be instances where tutoring and pet-related activities overlap. In these instances I have my partner that I travel with to help as well if I’m not able to step away from another task/meeting. 8. I clearly communicate my availability and boundaries to all our clientele. 9. Balancing two different types of activities can be demanding. So we make sure that we take breaks as needed and just spend time cuddling or meditating with your furry loved one. 10. I regularly review our schedule to see what's working and what needs adjustment. Yes I know it’s a lot however I really do take joy in all the work that I do for my scholars and my furry nieces & nephews to come!
