Information Desiree J. would like to know about your pet

Please share details about how your pet best enjoys their days. It is important to share their relationship with other pets and children as they will be around during your pets care. As always, sharing important medical history is a must to ensure your pet gets the care they need.

A typical day

While under my care, your pet will be provided a space filled with genuine and intentional care. From short walks, long hikes, to walks on the beach, we will enjoy Mother Nature and a nice nap afterwards.

Desiree’ was absolutely amazing. My Belgian Malinois is a high energy and aggressive breed. Desiree’ demonstrated great poise and assertiveness when walking and visiting Tre while I was out of the country. Tre grew a close relationship with her fairly quicker than his past dog walkers. 10/10 highly recommend

I cannot express how grateful I am for the outstanding care and attention to detail Desiree provided for my baby! She was prompt with her arrivals and made sure to keep me up to date with the day to day activities of my pup. They went on incredible adventures I know my Winnie will never forget. Thank you Desiree for creating an unforgettable first experience for both of us. I fear no other pet sitter will be able to compare! 😭

Desiree was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Sage. She was very prompt with updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Sage was well cared for, loved, and comfortable the entire time. Desiree was attentive, reliable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and safe. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.

Desiree took such great care of my Rocky! She made sure he was comfortable and gave such a wonderful update on how he was doing while with her and her beautiful family. Loved all the pictures she sent of him as well. I will most definately book with Desiree again. I highly recommend Desiree to take care of your fur baby!
