I live with my cat Danny (3yrs) who I’ve had since he was a lil baby, he gets lots of love and play everyday. Each pet has its own needs and I work to make sure each one I am working with gets the perfect care they need <3

Information Desiree P. would like to know about your pet

Of course the breed, age and name etc. But also any special needs or requests you may have you know your pup the best. My aim is make both your pet and you at ease.

A typical day

I love going on good long walks with as much play time to fill your pups needs/wants. I always carry water with me especially with summer time and the heat waves coming up (gotta stay hydrated!). If you're dog is social I also enjoy dog parks or any special locations you or pup may already love.

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my entire life; dogs, cats, reptiles, and everything in between. I've helped with work on farms even. I have always been connected to animals in a different way and have found my peace with them. On top of personal experience I have walked and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors.

Desiree was excellent with our new puppy - so warm and caring. From the very moment of our Meet and Greet, it was clear that she is a dedicated professional. Regular updates on a daily basis, pictures and texts throughout the day. Thank you, Desiree for your terrific care and wonderful personality. Our very highest recommendation.

Desiree was wonderful with Scooby! He clearly loved spending time with her, and they seemed to have a great time together. She was great with communication, kept me updated, and was very caring and attentive. Would absolutely book with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
