Pet care experience

Experienced & Trusted Pet Sitter

Hi! My name is Desiree, and I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve volunteered with the Washington County Humane Society and Animal Friends, where I helped care for animals with different needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. I currently have both dogs and cats of my own, ranging from small to large breeds, including a Pit Bull, a German Shepherd, and a Coonhound mix. Because of this, I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels—from high-energy dogs that need structure and exercise to more relaxed pets that just want companionship and affection. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the same level of care, patience, and attention I give my own. I follow routines closely, provide plenty of love and enrichment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I welcome all breeds, sizes, and ages, and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies—feel free to message me anytime!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, personalized care in your home to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise, while also keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Desiree is amazing. Prompt response and was able to take my dog on a walk on extremely short notice when I got sick. Banjo had a blast

Desiree is trustworthy and kind. My dogs love her! She was able to help me on very short notice and I felt comforted knowing she would be there to care for my pets.

Desiree is friendly and trustworthy. I was happy to know she was walking and feeding my dogs while I was stuck at work. She was great with both of my dogs- even the foster who can be quite skittish. I look forward to booking her again in the future!
