Highlights
Pet care experience
Active & Attentive Dog Lover!
I’ve cared for dogs for many years for friends, family, and as a TrustedHousesitter both in the U.S. and internationally. (See glowing reviews here: bit.ly/trustedhousesittersprofile-desiree) I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and care needs. I absolutely LOVE dogs and it is my joy to share moments with any pups I cross paths with. My approach is to follow the owner’s care instructions & routine closely to maintain the dog’s familiar routine and environment. This helps maintan a sense of calm and stability for the dog, and keeps things consistent while you’re away. I focus on attentive care with lots of play and love, reliability and adherence to care instructions, and clear communication with you, so your dog stays comfortable, and you return to a happy, well-cared-for dog & home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure that pet and home care instructions are understood and adhered too at all times to create consistency and trust with you and your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Desiree and Taylor came to sit at my house in the UK with my 9 year old English pointer Tinka and from the first second we all met I knew Tinka was in the safest and most caring two pairs of hands we could ever have wished for. Desiree and Taylor and the most kind, compassionate and giving couple of souls, they immediately put Tinka at ease and made her feel relaxed and a priority. They followed her rather complicated feeding routine precisely, took her for long walks and adventurers and in between gave her so many cuddles and ball throwing attention she just didn’t want them to leave! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting such a worldly wise and empathetic couple, and could not recommend them enough to any pet owner lucky enough to have them take care of their animals and house. If the rating scale was up to 5* I would give them a 10*!
I have know Desiree for years. She is loving, patient and kind. Her big heart for animals shines through with the way she cares for them. Conscientious and reliable, Desiree follows care instructions and always provides much affection and attention. I highly recommend Desiree for the care of dogs, cats and all furry friends.
Desiree is one of those rare people who genuinely connects with every dog she meets. She is kind, compassionate, and truly happiest when she’s surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve personally seen her interact with countless dogs, and it’s always the same result, they trust her, respond to her, and clearly enjoy being around her. Beyond her natural warmth, she’s incredibly diligent and responsible. She pays close attention to each dog’s needs and temperament, and she takes her responsibilities to both the dogs and their owners seriously. Whether it’s sticking to routines, ensuring safety, or simply giving a dog the attention and care it deserves, she shows up fully every time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with genuine care, respect, and reliability, Desiree is an excellent choice. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with any dog.
Desiree watched our 2 golden doodles for 10 days while we went on vacation. She was truly terrific with our dogs - took them on walks, car rides, and even let them sleep with her :) She sent photos daily, so we could see what we were missing out on. We hope Desiree can return for another pet sitting gig soon.

Schedule
I am an entrepreneur and independent contractor so my schedule is my own. I am flexible and experienced with molding my schedule to suit the needs of the owners & dogs I care for.
