FURRY FRIEND EXTRAORDINAIRE

I have had the pleasure and opportunity to have feline and doggie animals in my life since I was a young child. I believe all animals are energy and want and need love and attention just as humans do. Being a very calm person, animals tend to be comfortable around me and are always attracted to me as a person. To have the opportunity to love on an animal for a few hours or days would be a great pleasure and value add to my life. Thank you for the consideration to care for your beautiful furry pets. A little about me personally, I am a recently retired Air Force Officer of 22 years of service. I am currently attending college as a software developer, so most of my time is spent on school work, enjoying the outdoors with lots of exercise, reading. I am an outdoors person for sure and also enjoy hikes and riding my bike locally.

Desiree was great with our dog Olive! She has a calm manner and reassured us about Olive adjusting.

Being fairly new to Tucson leaves us with few people that are able to take care of our little girl when we need to travel. Our little Dahlia had a great time staying with Desiree and we came home to a happy and well cared for pup. We will definitely book again!

I had never boarded my 13 year old Maltese “Sammi”. I was concerned but Desiree immediately put me at ease and made Sammi feel at home! The experience couldn’t have been better!

I was so scared to leave Gizmo for 10 days with anyone and as soon as I met up with Desiree there was no doubt in my mind that she was going to baby him as muchgzzrrzzzdzzz as we do at our home and let me tell you they spoiled him rotten ! And I honestly couldn’t have picked a better person to watch him, she’s definitely Gizmos dog sitter ❤️?

Desiree was terrific and very accommodating! I could tell Maggie had a great time with her because she slept like a baby when she came home! I would not hesitate to let Desiree care for Maggie whenever we’re back in Tucson.

Great care givers for Willie -- he came home tired and happy. Lots of walks and attention. He was a happy boy -- and so were we, knowing he was in caring hands. Would rebook again!!!
