Safety, trust & environment

Inside the home, I’m pretty laid back with pets and tend to lounge with them in their favorite room. However, my preference for them and myself is to get outside for fresh air and mental stimulation. I love going on walks and seeing the neighborhood with your fur babes.

Information Desiree H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any health issues I should be aware of before exercising them, such as recent injuries, joint issues, or simply general fatigue. It will also be helpful to know in advance how well they are on leash so I can plan accordingly.

A typical day

Me and your doggo with wake up leisurely and listen to some music while we have breakfast and get ready for the day. At this point, we’ll get some exercise in which will usually be a walk or jog depending on what we’re both up to. If there’s a nice enclosed outdoor space nearby, we’ll play some fetch as well. After we get our zoomies out, it’s time to head home where we’ll get a treat for a great outing. I’ll head to work in the afternoon, after which we’ll go on a short walk before bedtime.

Pet care experience

I grew up always having a pet around which fostered my love of being with animals. As a young adult, I had the pleasure of raising a laid-back, well behaved Huskador with my past partner/current friend, which taught me so much. We spent a lot of time understand how the mind of a dog works and what are the best ways to guide and love on them, utilizing training techniques picked up from Cesar Milan. That being said, I’m not so rigid to the point where your dog can’t just simply have fun being a dog. Rules are important but joy is more important. I currently care for two fun-loving cats and a recent 7 mo. rescue pup, Bruce. We have a cozy little apartment filled with snuggles, but since we don’t have a yard, I spend a lot of the day getting Bruce outside for exercise and stimulation. I’m a bar manager and single pet mom with an alternative schedule so while I’m happy to make some extra cash helping out the pet owners in my community, my ideal situation would be to find a people-dog family that Bruce and I vibe with to get on a sort of trade system. If you need help during the day, and I need help during the evenings we might just be a perfect match, once some trust and routine is established. I would love to chat more on the idea of going beyond simple pet “services” and moving into the realm of creating a village. Nobody should have to get on alone. Us humans are pack animals too ✌🏼 Please get in touch with me in advance with any specific questions or concerns you may have regarding the care of your pet. I will do my best to accommodate for whatever their needs may be!

Desiree was great with us! She came over before the initial drop-in so both Rosey and I could meet her. Rosey warmed up to Desiree right away. Desiree was very responsive with all her communication. We will definitely be using her again.

Desiree took great care of my babies while we were gone for 3 weeks. I was very nervous leaving them for that long. Desiree sent me info and pictures from every visit enabling me to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing and ‘seeing’ that my boys were fine. (She also kept our flowers alive and well by watering them.) We would highly recommended her as she is responsible, thoughtful and truly cares about the ‘kids’ she’s been entrusted to care for.
