During inclement weather, your dog will be provided with outdoor breaks every 2 hours. Currently, I’m only taking one or two dogs at a time from the same home. I do not have any pets currently. If your dog is comfortable being caged at night, this option can be arranged.

Information Desiree M. would like to know about your pet

For first time dogs, my preference is for a brief meet and greet, including your provision of information on vaccinations, veterinarian and upto date flea and tick treatment.

A typical day

My yard is great for playing fetch off the leash. The neighborhood is great for long, safe walks and can include hills for more active dogs or flatter areas for those less inclined to hills.

Pet care experience

Over the years, I’ve been blessed with 2 dogs. My most recent,Keisha, I adopted at 8 years old and with her recent passing, I’m looking forward to sharing my home with your amazing pups. I am familiar with looking after senior dogs with particular diet needs. Your pup will have the opportunity to roam inside and outside at will. I look forward to taking your pup on a 2.5 to 4 mile walk each day. Your darling will be part of our family while you’re away.

Desiree took such amazing care of Bella. She watched Bella for over a week with no issues, leaving me feeling stress free on vacation. I’d definitely book with Desiree again!

We had a great experience boarding our two dogs with Desiree for a week. Each of our dogs has unique needs, and she accepted and handled everything without question, which immediately put us at ease. Communication was reassuring, and we felt very comfortable being away knowing our dogs were in great hands. Would absolutely book with her again.

Desiree was great with Cash and provided updates on how he was doing since he can be anxious at times. I can tell he was happy and healthy once his stay was over :) Thank you!

I’ve had Desiree care for my dog several times, and she’s absolutely wonderful! She’s attentive, reliable, and truly cares for the animals she looks after. I always feel completely confident leaving my dog in her care. She’s happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with her. It’s always a relief knowing she’s in such good hands with Desiree. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
