I am working full time, usually from 7am to 7pm, but I am usually free from Saturday to Monday. I know such long hours will not suit most dogs. On House Sitting: I have a chihuahua with a mix of personality and health issues that requires me to medicate her every 8 hours. Due to that she goes with me on house sits. She's is kennel trained and I will keep her seperate from your pets. (Beetle has gone with me to 3 house sits as of Jan. 2025) Beyond when I'm taking your dog out for a walk, I will not leave her at your home.

Safety, trust & environment

I will be just as paranoid over your pets as I am mine. With each visit I’ll keep a detailed log of behavior and actions—as much as for your records as for mine.

Information Desiree M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any triggers for stress or reactivity. I’d like to do whatever is possible to avoid those things. What are some of your pet's favorite things?

A typical day

I feel like nothing can beat a good neighborhood walk for a dog, or an adventure down to Lincoln park to hit the trails and the beach. For cats, I love to get them going with their favorite toy if they are up for it. Also, there seems to be no better companion for a day in than a cat or dog.

Pet care experience

Beyond having my own rag tag group of creatures (fish, cats, dog) I work with a variety of pets during the week and am comfortable giving a variety of meds, including fluids and injections. I currently keep 4 fresh water planted tanks (let me know if you want some pearlweed), and may be able to do water changes for an additional fee.

My first 2 full days away from my Bibi. I missed her every minute, but I was confident she was in good hands! Thanks beyond words to my RoverDog Sitter, Desiree!

Desiree is my go-to pet sitter on Rover She takes great care of Bibi and I know this because Bibi barely notices when I get home after a full day away. If I left my dog alone that long she would be a nervous wreck upon my return. Thx again to Desiree. Highly Recommended.

Desiree continues to provide excellent dog-sitting service for my 6mo old Boxer. She also takes great pet photos, which I love, and share with friends & fam.!

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.
