Experienced animal sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner myself since I was 7 years old. I currently have 2 kitties of my own! I’ve cared for multiple dogs and cats over the years for friends and family, and of all sizes. Occasionally I’m recommended through those channels so looking to expand my network. I’m passionate about animal care due to my love for animals in general! My goals are to get some extra face time with your furry friends/family, get extra exercise in and save extra money for my future home! My priority is to deliver excellent, safe and reliable animal care for you and your pets.

Desiree and Chris are the best boarders we've found on Rover. Eternally grateful to them for providing a loving home for our pup while we're away.

We are repeat customers. Our pup Julz absolutely loves Desiree! She’s sit for us 3-4 times now. We always get lots of pics and videos. She is the best with our older girl. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 friendly cats of my home who typically get along with other dogs and cats. We have a well sized atrium/patio and multiple walking paths right next to my house which is perfect if your fur babies stay with me overnight. We maintain a very clean home which keeps the cats happy and comfortable. Plenty of places for the animals to lounge around and hang out!

Information Desiree P. would like to know about your pet

I have no special preference when it comes to breed or age. The only thing I find difficult is administering medication with needles. Although I’ve always done well with them, I get a little nervous. If you happen to have a particularly big dog, I want to make sure they have someone who can handle their strength and energy. If you would still like me to meet the doggo and see if I can handle them, happy to do so! I am not scared of big dogs.

A typical day

I like to take the dogs for frequent walks, explore different walking paths and areas. If the pup is allowed in the car with me, I’ll take them for the occasional puppicino, take them for a nice stroll along the lake. I also like to keep the animals stimulated at home by having them play with different toys, giving them any approved treats and just being generally attentive to their needs. For cats, I will generally keep them separate from the other 2 at first to ensure they are calm and low anxiety. My cats are very comfortable spending some alone time in my room together, so your cat can have my full attention in the living room during their stay. I can also reverse the setup and be with the cat in the bedroom in case they want to be close to me during the night.
