I have plenty of toys and will play catch until my arm falls off if need be. My dog is more of a tug and war dog.

Care & Love!

Pet care experience

Laid back comfy environment! I can offer plenty of play time and frequent walks. Only smaller dogs accepted (less than 15 lbs). Feel free to bring your dog's favorite food, snacks and any other items that will make your pet comfortable while you are away. I can send you daily pictures of your pet or Facetime, if requested. I'm an early riser and late night owl, so you can always call if you have any questions while you are away. Prefer house trained dogs, but I have doggie gates, if your pet is not house trained. Willing to help and continue with your preferred method. Also, my furniture is covered so I am fine if your pet loves to sit on the couch. Please set up a meet & greet before making a reservation.

Desiree was wonderful! We had a Meet and Greet prior to the stay. Murphy did great at her home. She was very attentive, sent pictures and updates on his eating and care. He came home tired, which means he had a great time!! I will definitely use Desiree again. Murphy was very well cared for and loved! Thank you, Desiree!

Desiree was responsive and flexible! She helped take care of my senior dog while I was away and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. My dog looked happy staying there. Thank you Desiree!
