Pet care experience

Long walks, warm cuddles

Your fur baby isn’t “just a pet”.. I truly get it. I have two cats and 3 dogs myself, so I know firsthand how much patience fur babies can need, how picky they can be, and exactly why they’re so important to us. All my fur babies are seniors now. Some need injections, some take their medication orally. So whatever your fur baby needs I can handle it! I’ll treat your baby exactly as you would! Following every instruction, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll always send check ins and updates, and whether your kitty prefers space, affection, or a little bit of both, I’ll meet them where they are 🐾

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether I’m stopping by for a walk, giving medication, or staying for house/pet sitting. In your home, I follow all instructions closely. Feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, litter box or potty needs, and any specific preferences your pet has. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets safe exercise, attention, and a quick check-in on their overall well-being. If medication is needed, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to make sure it’s given properly and comfortably. For house or pet sitting, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I respect your home, keep things clean, and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Every pet is different, so I adjust my care to match their personality. whether they need extra playtime, lots of affection, or space and quiet companionship.

House Sitting • juil. 04, 2026

Desiree was fantastic! She was professional, reliable, and communicated with us throughout our trip with frequent updates and lots of great pictures, which gave us real peace of mind. She also brought in our packages, kept our home exceptionally clean, and took wonderful care of our dogs. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Desiree again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

You’d be gifting yourself peace of mind with Desiree as your sitter. She’s insanely kind and loves animals with her whole heart. I have been grateful to know her and can confirm she is sweetest, most honest person that loves animals deeply. She’s the kind of person you would trust your life with and if you’re like me, your animals are your life. Every time Desiree has house sat for us she has taken great care of our fur babies (Rosco & Bella) and our home. If you’re looking for a sitter you can trust that will send you plenty of pictures and videos Des is your girl!

I have known Desiree for about 10 years now and I can tell you that she is one of the gentlest souls I’ve met in my life. The warmth that she has towards animals is what I wish to see in others. She is honest, patient and truly kind. You know when you go to a party and there’s that one person that would rather make friends with the dog instead of socialize with the people? That’s Desiree! As an animal lover myself that will always prioritize my pets first, I trust very few individuals to care for them and Desiree is at the top of my list. She is very responsible and a natural when it comes to providing the love and care a pet deserves.

Schedule

As a freelancer, pet care fits naturally into my daily life since I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get the time, attention, and consistency they need. I genuinely love fur babies, so spending time caring for them isn’t something I squeeze in.. it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize 🤍🐾

Let me know if you pet has special needs or instructions. Whether that be medication, food, water needs ex. I accept booking for ALL BREEDS but please do not book if your dog has human aggression of any kind. A vet owned boarding facility will meet your needs. I have recommendations if you need them!
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.
