Pet care experience

Stay, play, and snooze the day away

Hi! I’m Desiree — your pet’s new favorite friend 🐶 I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Growing up with family pets and now loving my own pup, Tex, has taught me how special every pet is and how much peace of mind matters when you’re away. I treat every pet like a member of my own family — with patience, gentle play, and plenty of belly rubs. I only board one family’s dog at a time, which means your pup gets personalized attention, a calm home environment, and lots of love while you’re away. Tex and I love exploring the neighborhood, enjoying walks, playing in the yard, and relaxing at home. Whether your dog loves adventure or is happiest snuggled up on the couch, I’ll make sure their routine and personality are cared for. Here’s what you can expect: 🐕 Daily walks, potty breaks, and playtime 📸 Regular updates and photos so you never miss a moment ❤️ A safe, loving home with personal attention 📲 Quick and reliable communication 🐾 Care tailored to your dog’s needs and comfort level I work remotely most days, giving me the flexibility to provide plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. Your pup won’t just be staying somewhere — they’ll be welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family. Let’s make your dog’s next stay a fun and stress-free pet-cation! 🐾

Desiree was great and very communicative. She was very accommodating and gave me multiple updates on how my doggo was doing throughout the stay. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your pup!

Schedule

I’m available seven days a week! I work full-time Monday–Friday and am in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On those days, I make sure your pup still receives a reliable mid-day potty break and plenty of love and attention. I work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which allows for extra supervision, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Providing consistent care, attention, and quality time is extremely important to me, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Please note: • Drop-off time begins at 7:00 AM • Pick-up time is before 10:00 PM If you need arrangements outside of those hours, I kindly ask that you request an additional day of boarding to accommodate the extended stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel relaxed and at home. I have a small yard for potty breaks and will do regular walks based on their energy level and routine. If your pup enjoys social settings, I have a dog park within my complex that we can visit (with your permission). I always monitor play closely and prioritize safe, positive interactions. For pups who prefer a quieter vibe, I’m just as happy throwing the ball in my yard, playing enrichment games, or giving plenty of cuddle time while they settle in and get comfortable. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible — feeding times, crate routines, medication (if needed), and sleep preferences — because consistency helps them feel secure. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and like they’re on their own little pup-cation while you’re away on yours. 🐾✨

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of movement, fun, and lots of love! We’ll start with a neighborhood walk so your pup can explore all the exciting smells and get some fresh air. Throughout the day, I build in regular potty breaks and play sessions to keep tails wagging. If your dog enjoys fetch, we’ll spend time throwing the ball and getting those zoomies out. For social pups (with your approval), we can visit the dog park in my complex for safe, supervised playtime. And yes — occasional puppuccinos may be on the agenda if parent-approved. ☕🐾 Inside my home, there’s plenty of interaction, enrichment, and downtime. My goal is to balance play and rest so your pup feels happy, comfortable, and relaxed. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to match their personality and energy level — whether that’s active adventures or cozy cuddle time.

Before your pup’s stay, I’d love to learn more about them so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know: • If there’s anything we should avoid on walks (other dogs, certain environments, dog parks, strangers, etc.) • Any health concerns, allergies, medications, or special instructions • Feeding schedules and portion details • Crate routines or sleep preferences • Triggers, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of • Their favorite toys, treats, or comfort items The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible and make their stay smooth, fun, and stress-free for everyone.
