Experienced Veterinary Technician🐾

Pet care experience

I have been working as a vet technician for 8 years. I feel very comfortable caring for a range of animals, not just cats and dogs. I can do certain reptiles, and small animals. I come with a background in general medicine as well as ICU care. Can manage pets that have chronic diagnoses that require medications and whatever treatments you may have to provide at home so you can relax while you’re away : )

I feel so fortunate to have found Desiree! She's a wonderful, caring sitter. She even managed the impossible task of clipping my cat's nails. I've tried myself, many times, but this normally sweet guy becomes very feisty about his paws! Thank you, Desiree!

Information Desiree L. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know dietary concerns, such as food allergies or any chronic medical history. I am familiar with many medical diagnoses due to my profession and would love to give peace of mind while you’re away. Leaving a pet is always stressful, but when that pet requires very specific care, it can be even worse, I want to create trust so you can enjoy your time away knowing they are enjoying you being away : )

A typical day

I believe in creating a relationship, much like babysitters for children, it is important to not be a “boring babysitter” or one who hands your child an iPad to watch while they play on their own phone. I will try and stay as close to the routine you share with them as possible, while also respecting safety.
