Love and Respect of our animal kids

Pet care experience

Coming from the swamp lands of south Texas, I have had a love and great respect for all animals (including reptiles, insects and other non-human nature life) since a young child. My goal is to always leave our children feeling happy and loved. I have cared for dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, injured wildlife (when permitted as allowed by law) and most likely any other critters that might come to mind. My goal is to fill in for happiness gaps and take care of othwr basic needs when mom/dad has to take care of other life essentials. I like taking animals out (my reptiles go outside for nature slithers), I have also administered medications as needed to pets I have cared for. I can't day I have done everything, but I am willing to hear your pets needs and try to fit.

Desiree has cared for many different kinds of animals over many years. Her experience brings knowledge, care, and kindness to any animal that she has the opportunity to care for. I would totally recommend her for any animal caregiver needs as she would certainly exceed expectations, going above and beyond for the pet.

I can’t imagine a more trustworthy, loving, and responsible person to care for my pets than Desiree. From the very first interaction, her calm energy and genuine love for animals were impossible to miss. She treats every pet like her own—paying close attention to their individual needs, quirks, and routines. Desiree goes above and beyond just the basics. Whether it’s a long walk, an extra cuddle, or a quick check-in text to ease your mind, she puts care into every detail. My pets not only feel safe with her—they adore her. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same love and respect you do, Desiree is the one. She’s more than a caretaker—she’s a trusted companion to your furry and non furry family.

Desiree has cared for my 4 cats a few times when I’ve been out town. She was also able to give my older, not so nice kitty, meds one of those times, which I’m sure wasn’t an easy task. Before my cocker spaniel passed, she had no problem taking the extra time to prepare his special meals, give him his meds, and change his belly bands, as well as show him a little extra love. I always trust her to care for my animals. She’s simply the best!

Desiree took care of our pets for for 9 days. We have a dog with high anxiety, a older cat, and a skink. She was wonderful. Our dog enjoyed play time and walks with her and she spoiled them just as much as we do. When we arrived home after vacation, they even had their food bowls and water bowls fresh and topped off. It rained while we were gone and she helped our dog feel much better from her love and kindness through the storm. Our skinks cage was still at a good temp and humidity when we got home. It is apparent she is a genuine animal lover. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

Pets that I have kept in my home are treated as closely to thier home roitune as possible. I ask the pet owner to give me details and we try to replicate for the pets comfort. For pet visits in the client's home I ask for clients written and verbal instructions to follow. I always like to give feedback as pets are different with all people and environments and sometimes we find things that enhance the lives of the pets even more.

Information Desiree N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or any specific anxieties around activities. I also like to know what your pet enjoys most. Our house cat loves being brushed. Our dog loves free play. My snake likes to take fresh water soaks. I have pet sat a blue tongue skink that just liked sitting on my shoulder. The activities your pet loves are the activities I love to give them.

A typical day

I love all animals and find it soothing for both the pet and myself to be active in our day together. I like to keep to the pet owners routine and am happy to add in additional activities that may not always fit the owners schedule if requested. I love walking, playing and taking general care of all pets.
