Pet care experience

I'll love your pets as my own

I have owned cats and dogs for over 9 years and have cared for the fur babies of many of my neighbors and friends. I love animals and will always treat your pets as though they were part of my own family. I am experienced in administering medication. However, at this time, I prefer not to administer any medications that require injections.

Desiree is great! Bayroo always seems happy to see her and comes home tired.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 13, 2026

Chicory has been going to daycare at Desiree's for almost a month now and she absolutely loves it! There's clearly a lot of love for animals in their home and I'm so happy knowing my pup is happy.

Desiree and her husband always take such care of Abby. We feel very comfortable leaving her with their family.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 10, 2026

My cats and I couldn’t have been happier with everything Desiree did for them on her drop-ins. It is clear that she loves animals and they feel the same way about her.

Schedule

I have a 2-year old playful black lab mix, Tui, who loves to play with other dogs, so we'll be able to run your pup around plenty. I am home all day and can let your pup out for potty breaks every few hours or as needed. As for cats, I will come to your house with an arsenal of toys that even my picky cat can't resist. I understand the need to provide sufficient play time and cuddles, and will be sure to give your pet the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced large backyard where your pup can run around with our pup. I am happy to crate your pup as well if requested (we have a large crate available for use upon request). I am also available to visit your pup in your home and take him or her on walks and spend extra play time at your house. For in-home cat care, I can bring toys and will stay 30-60 minutes at a time (usually 2 drop-ins per day) to play with your kitty and empty the litter box. I also know how important it is to have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands, so I will commit to sending you daily pictures and updates of your pet so you can be assured that they are being well cared for while you're away. I understand the importance of communication and trust when hiring a pet sitter, and I am committed to delivering the same quality of service that I expect for my own fur babies.

Pets

A typical day

Our Tui loves to be stimulated physically and mentally at all times. We play fetch inside and outside, tug, explore the smells of the neighborhood, and wind down at the end of the day with couch cuddles. Tui is very playful, but is also great with older dogs who are more laid back. She is also great with cats!

✨PLEASE READ: For the safety of all pets and their owners, I am only accepting pups that are current on flea preventative medication and current on basic vaccines (DHPP, Rabies & Bordetella).✨ Please let me know in advance if your dog has any special needs or allergies I can account for (or quirks I need to watch for!). I want to be sure that I can provide the service needed to make sure your pup feels safe and happy in our home and that I can safely provide the necessary care for your fur baby. I do not take dogs with aggressive tendencies, so please let me know if they do.
