Fur-Baby-Filler Wanted!!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with and taken care of dogs or cats most of my life. As of last spring, we lost our family dog of 15 years, and her void is still felt today. I have thought of getting another dog, however I am not quite ready for that level of commitment, so I have been filling my fur-baby void by walking my neighbor's dog for the last several months. I forgot how much I missed having little paws join me! Which has brought me here. I have boarded dogs for friends in the past and thought that this would be a great way to spend time with someone else's furry family member without the long-term commitment of owning another dog. I think of it as being the fun "auntie"! Come and hang with me while mom or dad take some time for themselves or need someone to watch their pet on short notice due to an unexpected trip or an extra-long day away from home. I work remotely, so no worries about morning or mid-day walks and frequent potty breaks, and I live close to two parks to play in. There is a lot of love and attention waiting to be shared with your fur-baby when they stay with me.

As always, Desi is wonderful! Penelope is very well taken care of and comes home happy. She is given lots of love and attention. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Such a kind spirit! Desiree helped me in a real pickle and took care of an old girl for me. Thank you!

Desiree is a fantastic sitter who cared deeply for my sweet old-timer dog while the family was out of town. While my pup, Ophelia, doesn't need any special treatments, Desiree went above and beyond to ensure my dog's happiness and comfort during my absence. Sends lots of cute pictures and partakes in many cuddles so doggo doesn't feel lonely. There was even a scheduling conflict in which Desiree graciously allowed us to make alterations last minute and was very accomodating. When we need another sitter, I would not hesitate to call Desiree again.

Highly recommend Desi! As always, she caters to our Penelope and gives her lots of attention and love. Penelope is so happy, and it's clear she is very well taken care of.

Information Desiree L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that need to be considered. I want to ensure the best pet-stay-experience possible for the ease of your dog and the family who is entrusting me to care for it.

A typical day

I love to take walks in the park with your pooch! I live near two great parks that are great places to run and play that will burn off lots of energy and tucker the little one out. For dogs that don't mind car rides, and as weather permits, I especially enjoy taking them to parks with trails to venture on.
