Your Pup's New Favorite Auntie🥰

Want your pup to have the same amount of love, care and attention they get at home, and a little doggie vacay while YOU go on yours? I'm your girl! 😍 I have a lot of experience with furry friends, and specifically dogs and their body language. As you are looking for a sitter, make sure they understand canine behavior and body language really well and know what to do in a moment of crisis. Even the sweetest, most docile dog can react unexpectedly in a moment of fear or threat, or in a new environment. I pride myself in the quality of care and attention i give the pups I watch, and being able to quickly get acquainted and put a pup at ease with me within minutes, even the more shy ones :). I take the responsibility of having your baby here very seriously and am hyper vigilant about how they are doing under my care. Things like what they're eating (or not eating), are they getting along with others ok, do they feel scared, threatened, etc. A sad dog is my kryptonite😭! Please be aware I also do have two pups of my own, Rocco and Lulu, who hang out by my feet all day, are very friendly and socialized, and used to having lots of four-paw visitors around since we've been watching pups at our home for a few years now ❤️. I am happy to schedule a meet and greet if you would like, and get to know you and your baby better! Just message me and let me know you'd like to meet. Look forward to hearing from you!

While we were on vacation, we felt very comfortable leaving our two Yorkies with Desirée . Our dogs enjoyed playing with her two dogs. Desirée was very responsive with daily correspondence, photos and videos during our trip. When we picked up our Yorkies, we could tell they were happy, well fed, and well taken care of. We highly recommend Desirée!

Desirée took great care of Charlie. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.

Our pup had a great time with Desirée and being in her home! She was patient with my high energy pup and sent updates and was quick to communicate! Thanks again.

Desiree was great. She gave us updates regularly which I really appreciated and asked us questions for clarification. She also responded quickly whenever we had questions. I felt like my pups were safe. I would definitely recommend.

Schedule

Since I am self employed and work from home, I am always in the same room as your pup to make sure they are safe and happy! We love taking them on walks around our neighborhood depending on the weather, as well as watching a show on the couch with a good snuggle buddy!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a bit of a helicopter dog mom when it comes to doggies under my care. I do not believe in leaving dogs, especially from different "packs," unsupervised. Too many things can go wrong! It's super important to me to figure out quickly your pup's personality and preferences. If they love to play, figuring out if their advances are being welcomed by other pups (or not), or if they want to just snuggle with a human and be unbothered by other dogs. I am always in the same room as them, or if not, I have a whole, dog-friendly set up in my mudroom if I need to leave the house for anything. Also - cleanliness is super important around here. Poop is picked up daily and fresh clean water is always available! Floors and carpets are cleaned regularly!

Pets

A typical day

We have two big parks nearby we frequently take our pups for runs and walks. We have a spacious backyard as well. We have plenty of dog toys and puzzles for all dog personalities!

0 to 15 lbs
No females in heat
Desirée can host up to 2 pets per night
We would need to know if your dog is current on vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordatella are required). Both of my dogs are fixed, so its ok that yours isn't, but just let me know either way. Unfortunately, we cannot accept female dogs in active heat. Also if your dog is used to being around and gets along with other dogs in an open environment. Anything that you think would be good to know about your dog in order for us to provide excellent care for him/her. Have they shown aggression towards other dogs before? Are they territorial of their food, toys, bed, 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.
