Highlights
Pet care experience
Active dog sitter available!
To say I'm a dog lover is an understatement! I had a dog of my own, so I know the ins and outs of caring for one, and I have over 4 years of experience. I don't have the schedule yet to own a dog of my own, so caring for other dogs is the next best thing. I don't have any preference of size or energy level, so I would love to tend to the needs of yours whenever you need it. My areas of experience are pet sitting, entertaining, walking, and boarding. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog!

Ratings and reviews
Cargo enjoyed his extra long walk, thank you for spending time with him!
Desiree was amazing! She was available for us very last minute and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. Even though we were only gone for one night, she kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older and very relaxed, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She took them on a walk, stayed longer than planned, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Desiree again and highly recommend her!
We are so glad to have connected with Desiree to take care of our 2 small dogs. She had great communication and is patient with our dogs (and us!).
Great job, helped my dog expend some of his high energy!
Desiree was excellent, very communicative and took great care of our pups.
Was very kind to my pup and I! Responded in a timely manor and was understanding!

Schedule
I just started graduate school at Syracuse University and am looking to continue pet sitting in my free time! My schedule during the week varies, but I am very flexible and whatever the request may be, I will try my best to fulfill it! Nothing is ever too last minute, I am open to all requests.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for dogs in my home/apartment, I like the be around the dog playing with them or just keeping them company. Whenever I do have to leave I make sure they have food/water and that they are comfortable while I’m not there. Being an athlete I am very active already, so taking a dog outside for fun/scenic walks in the city/park would be my pleasure! When caring for dogs in other homes, I am sure to keep the dog entertained. I always keep an eye on them and keep them comfy. When walking a dog, I like to walk them through nature filled areas or parks. I almost always walk dogs for longer than the requested times—- I enjoy them just as much as they do! Also, I have many independent clients outside of Rover so I am open to doing pay/booking outside of the app to avoid fees on both ends. Just ask!
A typical day
I Stay active! Fetch, tug of war, and belly rubs, you name it. I am also a huge cuddle-lover so if your dog enjoys being cozied up to people, they’ll get all the attention they could imagine with me!
