Safety, trust & environment

I will respect you and your pets home knowing it is their safe place and where they feel most secure. I know when their human is away their anxiety is up, I will do my best to keep your pets routine the same and will make sure they feel loved.

Information Desiree L. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any silly quirks your dog has so I can give them the best time. If there are any toys or favorite walking areas or even if they have a silly meal routine! Whatever makes them feel most comfortable.

A typical day

I love to be physically active with the pets I care for. I enjoy walking dogs and playing fetch. For our older pups I enjoy setting up puzzles and enrichment toys and spending time with them on the couch to give them extra love.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Desi. Saying that I love dogs is a severe understatement. Im new to the greater Seattle area after finishing my bachelors degree at wsu. I have a year long gap before going off to medical school. In Pullman I worked at a boarding facility and learned how to take care of a plethora of animals. I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have training with giving medication in all routes (intramuscular, subcutaneous, inhalers, pills and liquid). I also learned how to care for rodents and reptiles. All my training was done under the supervision of a vet so I am well versed in health and care of your best friend

Desiree is the best! She walked both of our Rottweilers and they absolutely adored her. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Desiree is such a great walker! She was available for Blueberry more than once in a pinch and leaves great updates that make us feel like our pup is truly being cared for. Thank you Desiree!

Desiree is an amazing sitter - so conscientious and caring. It gives us great peace of mind when we’re gone to know how well she is caring for our sweet Coco.
