Ratings and reviews
Desiree was absolutely amazing with our two pup - including Murphy who is quite timid and nervous, Ashe gave consistent updates and provided photos which is always appreciated :)
Desiree took care of my cat and dog, however not all issues were communicated as needed when/if issues arose.
Desiree was amazing with Ollie and Saoirse! She took such great care of them and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy comfortable in getting lots of love and attention. Also our dogs got along very well with Desiree‘s dog Aoife. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Desiree again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Ollie and Saoirse!
Desiree provided reliable, caring dog service for both our dogs. Over the years, she’s been patient, trustworthy, and great with animals - would definitely recommend her.
We have been using Desiree for pet care for several years and highly recommend her services! She approaches care holistically with positive reinforcement! Our dog loves spending time with Desiree and comes back happy and tired each time from the long walks and exploring the trails! She has taken care of our dog in our home and respects our space and follows care instructions. She has also watched our dog at her place which is immaculate and well maintained. We sure appreciate all the attentive care Desiree provides to our pup! 100% recommend!
I’ve known Desiree for years and trusted her to care for my dog in a home daycare setting. She’s calm, attentive, and genuinely cares about animals. I’d absolutely recommend her.
