Desiree is amazing!! Our pups get so excited every time she walks through the door. She is very thorough on everything she does during her visit, sends us pictures and is on time during her visits. She is great on communication with us which we enjoy greatly as our schedules have been all over the place lately!! We couldn’t be more happy we have found Desiree to watch our pups!

She was absolutely wonderful with my dog! I needed help on late notice and she was able to come by without hesitation. She followed all instructions perfectly and remembered every little task I asked her to do. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable pet care.
