I like all mutts and I cannot lie.

Pet care experience

I started taking care of cats and dogs at the shelter when I was 13 years old and have been taking care of them ever since! I have trained puppies while I take care of them and have handled the health care of senior dogs (ex. handling medications for seizure or joint pain). My dog is adopted and I have learned a lot on how to approach a dog, earn a dog’s trust, and help them feel safe and have fun!

We have asked Desiree to watch our cat, Willie, three or four times now. She is fantastic, always giving great communication and providing pictures from visits. We could not recommend her enough!

Information Desiree R. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs, behavioral issues to watch out for, and training commands you would like me to practice with them. I would like to know their typical routine as well.

I know quite a few dog parks around Tampa. Most dogs love cars rides and I’m happy to have them enjoy that while we go to their favorite places.
