Love animals of all kinds!

Pet care experience

I've always had animals growing up! There is nothing like a dog or cat to make you feel at home! I would insure that your dog or cat would be treated as if you had never left. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet, and treat them as if they were one of my own. I don't mind long walks, and I have plenty of experience dealing with rambunctious dogs. I have had my fair share of puppy raising, so if you have a puppy, I do not mind helping you with the training process. I have two cats and a dog, and they all love new fur friends. If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to answer them! We have a huge neighborhood with side walks for all of our walks, along with a large park area.

Desiree was fantastic and went WELL above and beyond with Wilbur who decided that he would throw up almost the ENTIRE time she was watching him. She got Wilbur seen by our vet AND went out to buy rice and cottage cheese because the vet suggested Wilbur eat only that. She was really incredible and caring and we completely and totally recommend her.

Desiree was a great sitter! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and she was flexible about pick-up and drop-off times which I greatly appreciated. I also got an update on how my dog was doing. I'd definitely leave my pup with her again.

Desiree was very professional and gave us updates on how our puppy was adjusting to his first weekend away from us. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Desi was our dog sitter for 4 years. We have Great Danes of our own, plus we foster for a rescue. This means our needs changed with the foster(s) coming through our home. Dealing with giant breeds also means understanding health concerns and risks associated with the breed, such as bloat/GDV. Desi never flinched from learning our Danes' needs, nor from alerting us to issues including behavioral changes or health concerns. Because of her attention to details, she was able to alert us that our male had begun to act oddly during her visits. This enabled us to catch and correct some behavior issues early on. She then helped us implement a new regimen suggested by our behaviorist in order to ensure the issue was rectified. Desi's duties varied from simply letting our dogs out and then feeding them, to a few overnight stays. Initially, we had two Danes, but with fosters it could be as many as 4, and for a few months even a litter of 7 puppies! Never once did we have an issue nor complaint about her care, nor concerns about our property. We trust her implicitly. All of our Danes and fosters have loved her and were always excited to see her, which speaks volumes in our opinion. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our Danes, nor a better friend!
