Your Pets Are My Passion!

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover who wishes I could rescue them all... I believe animals should be treated with the utmost respect, love, and kindness. I treat my own pets as if they are my children and love the joy they bring to my heart. I will treat your loving pets as if they were my own. I love all pets and will make sure they are well cared for (mind and body) while you are away. My experience is not professional, but personal. I have had many dogs and cats over the years and presently have a 14 year-old Calico kitty named Zareena (Zee for short). I will play, cuddle and hang out with your fur babies as needed. I administer medications as long as they are a pill and can be put in something (pill pocket, etc.) Or if liquid meds, in a syringe type dispenser.

Desiree has been our trusted sitter for years. The dog and cat both love her and she always leaves the house nicer than when she arrived. :)

Desiree is simply the best! I’ve used her services several times for my dog and cat. She goes above and beyond!. I come home to a clean house and happy animals. Thank you so much, Desiree!

Desiree is an exceptional dog sitter. She is very professional and communicative. We got pictures and/or videos of our two dogs every day we were gone. She clearly loves animals and does a great job with them. Desiree stayed at our house with the dogs, and it was very clean and spotless when we got back. We definitely hope to work with her again in the future!
