I'm already in love with your dog

Pet care experience

I have always been told I have a way with animals, and it's probably because I have been spending as much time with them as possible since I could crawl. My grandmother was a dog breeder and I spent much of my youth caring for puppies. As an adult I worked over a year at a humane society where I was responsible for training maintenance, microchipping, as well as informing potential pet parents of animal behavior. I am comfortable with all dog breeds their baggage. I unfortunately have not had the lifestyle that would allow pets of my own, so I take what I can get. For several years now I have been the "go-to" for family and friends when they needed fostering/ pet sitting, and I swear it does me more good than them!

Desiree helped me out when another house sitter had a conflict. She was able to quickly respond, offer a timely meet and greet, and was obviously a kind, responsible, experienced pro. While I love to use a sitter I have used before, because I already know they are trustworthy, I do realize that there are many times when plans are last-minute and those great people I already know are unexpectedly unavailable. I would recommend Desiree as a go-to housesitter and pet sitter. She was able to quickly ascertain what my needs were and how to manage the responsibilities of taking care of my home and my pets such that I had absolutely no worries during my 3 day weekend away. When I returned home, it was as if I had never left. The animals were totally calm ( including a very sick cat), the house was completely in order, and that’s exactly what I hope for in a service like this. I would recommend Desiree as your primary housesitter / pet sitter as well as a last minute replacement or second person to call. She was trustworthy, capable, and completely came through for me. Isn’t that what we all really want?

Desiree is truly a TOP-NOTCH dog sitter. You can tell that she truly loves dogs. When she met my dogs she immediately cuddled and played with them as if they were her own. On the day that she was to arrive she stayed in constant contact with me to make sure everything was good to go for her arrival. During the weekend she stayed in constant contact with me sharing pictures of my pups and constantly keeping me updated. I literally had no worries that my dogs and house were taken care of. She truly went above and beyond my expectations. I would gladly let her watch my dogs again with no reservations! She is the best dog sitter we have ever had!

Desiree has been wonderful over the past month getting to know our sensitive pup Hilda. She is very cautious with strangers and take a bit of time to accept people into her circle. Desiree has come over 4 times to walk Hilda and feed her and has rolled with the punches of all of Hilda's quirks! I know the pups are looking forward to their stay with Desiree soon!
