I work full time from 8AM–5PM, but pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. On my days off, I’m available for all day care and lots of dedicated time with your pup. During workdays, I can offer early morning and evening walks or drop-ins, ensuring your dog still gets consistent exercise and attention. I’m also available holidays and holiday weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so fitting them into my routine is something I look forward to!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort come first with me! Living in the desert means I’m extra mindful about weather and walking conditions—I always test pavement temperature to make sure it’s safe before we head out. I keep all dogs on a secure leash during our walks — so having a properly fitting collar or harness is important. I’ll treat your pup with the same care and caution I’d give my own!

Information Desiree G. would like to know about your pet

Please share any behavior issues, your dog’s temperament and energy level, and how you prefer to give positive reinforcement. I’d also like to know how your dog interacts with other dogs, people, and children so I can ensure a safe experience.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active and happy! I can take your pup on long walks or a run if they’re high-energy. I offer playtime, enrichment games, and plenty of doggy love to keep them entertained throughout the day.

Pet care experience

I’ve spent most of my life around family dogs, and caring for animals has always brought me joy. While my current circumstances don’t allow me to have a dog of my own right now, I still have plenty of doggy love, time and energy to give! I’m very active and enjoy being outdoors so whether your pup prefers long adventures or short strolls I’m happy to match their pace.

Desiree was so quick to respond and schedule a meet & greet with my dog on very short notice! She was very communicative and my standoffish dog grew excited to see her by the end of her visits! Definitely recommend Desiree

Thank you very much Desiree, you arrived on time, in fact, we asked you to come 10 minutes earlier and you did. Much appreciated. Desiree is a confident and relaxed and qualified dog sitter. Our dog Romeo was very relaxed right away with you.
