Loving and caring animal sitter

Pet care experience

Hello. My name is Desiree. I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I have experience working with dogs, cats, birds, snakes, rabbits, ferrets, turtles, fish, a variety of small animals (ex: mice, rats, hamsters), as well as chickens and a turkey. I currently own four dogs, ten cats, two turtles, and three parrots. I am comfortable, and enjoy, taking animals out for walks (doesn't matter if it is a cat or the size/breed of dog(s) ). I have taken care of baby animals all the way up to senior pets. I have experience taking care of animals with medical conditions such as diabetes and asthma. I have also taken care of animals with physical disabilities such as epilepsy, visual impairments, and hearing loss. I am comfortable with administering any medications that may be needed. I have experience administering pills, liquid medication, eye drops, ear drops, I.V. fluids, and insulin. .I keep myself updated on animal first aid with instructional videos that I own. I can provide overnight care, if needed. I've not only taken care of my animals, but I have also taken care of my neighbors and friends pets as well. I am very flexible and I can work any hours and days needed during the summer. I am a teacher, so my availability during the school year is mainly during the weekends and when school is out for vacations (even though I can possibly offer care during the week if it is in the evenings beginning around 5:00 or so). I promise to provide the best care for your family member(s). I enjoy animals and love to spend time with them. It doesn't matter how many animals you own. I am capable of taking care of them. They will receive love and respect. Please consider me the next time you need a sitter. I promise you the best service.

Desiree F is amazing. She was so kind, patient and loving with my kitty, Chloe. Chloe can be a real hanful at times. She is very spoiled, but very much loved. Desiree was so good with her and Chloe loved her and trusted her right away. Desiree also provided daily updates to me with pictures. I would highly recommend Desiree for anyone needing a pet sitter. She is awesome. I trust her completely with my baby.

This was our first experience using a paid pet sitter for our cat, and Desiree went above and beyond expectations. She is very professional and treated our girl like she was her own. We would definitely use Desiree’s services again!

I will make sure your animal has adequate time outside, whether it's playing in the yard or taking walks throughout the day. I believe that dogs need plenty of play and outside time. I will work with families to learn the commands that they use with their animals. I like to meet the pets beforehand so that they can become familiar with me. I am willing to work with feeding schedules, medicine schedules, and anything that may be needed. I am very laid back and I love to have fun with animals. At the same time, it is important for the animal to maintain proper behavior and feel secure. I will do everything it takes to make sure that your animal is stress free, happy and safe.
