Information Desiree M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's anything I need to know about your pets. Give me details about the food and feeding schedule, silly things they enjoy, or anything else that comes to mind. Thank you.

A typical day

I believe in giving dogs a job to do depending on their skill. It could be fetching or herding. I love to play games with them and learn about their personality. I love taking them for walks and exercising. And just spending time petting them, grooming them, and loving them.

Grateful to love your loved ones!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I've had small dogs and big dogs! My family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and train their dogs especially while they leave on vacation.

We've left our dog with Desiree and family several times already. She's our first choice. Our dog gets spoiled with walls and trips to the dog park. We know she's loved and having a great time when we're away.

Desiree is the best! She loves my dogs and they love spending time with her and her family when I travel for work. They are always so tired when I pick them up, they sleep for a whole day!
