Will care for them like my own <3

Pet care experience

I have cared for /managed up to 150 dogs at once, from a pet resort to a dog rescue. I'm looking forward to having more one on one experiences (or 3 or 4 haha at a time, ) rather than such large numbers. My quiet nature makes me able to help any shy type dogs come out of their shells and gain confidence in themselves. Those are the types I've fostered and rehabilitated. I have helped friends help their dogs, most recently getting a pooch comfortable with the treadmill so her Mommy can give her proper exercise. I have been known to surprise owners with a calm nail trimming session when all they knew was panic and fear. I triple check everything to make sure I follow instructions perfectly and keep everyone safe. I love to love them, it is in my heart and soul. I have a lot of experience with medical dogs from working in rescue, have seen and helped with just about anything.

I've known Desiree for over 17 years and consider her the most responsible pet advocate I've ever known. Not only have I seen her with her own pets through the years but she has cared for mine on many occasions. She takes the time to get to know each animal and understand what makes them special. She is a bit of a dog whisperer! She invests the time and effort into understanding what makes them tick! She ran and managed a dog rescue in recent years and worked with traumatized animals to rehabilitate them for new homes. She has years of grooming experience, as well. Desiree has cared for my cats and puts the same interest into knowing them and helping them feel loved and special. She also has experience with horses and knows how they are unique. I call Desiree whenever I have a pet question. She has become an 'layperson' expert in animal health issues through handling all the animals she's crossed paths with. I would recommend Desiree to anyone who wants a pet caregiver who will get to know your animal and help them feel relaxed and happy while you are away.

My wife and I have known Desiree for 3 years since we volunteered at a dog rescue center that she was running. Desiree is a wonderful and caring person who cares deeply for the welfare and comfort of all animals and has a special affinity for dogs. We have seen her calm the most ferocious of large dogs and cuddle the sickest of puppies. She is definitely a bonafied 'Dog Whisperer'! We have no hesitation of recommending her as a dog walker/sitter; the animals could not be in more caring or safer hands.

I've known Desiree for over 2 years. She managed a rescue with 60+ dogs at any given time. What separates Desiree from other dog care professionals is her ability to "communicate" with the dogs. She is intuitive and has a calming effect on them. I've seen her work with dogs who had "issues" and the results were happier dogs who were then ready for adoption. Desiree loves animals, knows about medical care and is patient with them; I trust her implicitly with my Blue Heeler! Her positive energy, dependability and sense of responsibility makes Desiree a perfect choice to care for anyone’s fur baby! Bonus - Desiree trains and has groomed dogs too!

Desiree is a animal lover of both small and large she has a passion that is hard to find. Desiree is everything a person could ask for in a animal caregiver she loves each and every animal she meets as much as her own. Desiree not only walks and cares for your pets but truly bonds with every animal that crosses her path. Desiree is the most caring, responsible, and experienced animal lover and professional I know.
