I treat every pet as my own
Pet care experience
I have knowledge and experience handling various animals from small to large dogs and even working line dogs. I have been a veterinary technician for 5 years and focused in areas such as general practice and emergency. In my current career I specialize in rabbits and rodents as they hold a dear place in my heart. I have experience with fearful dogs/cats and hyperactive pets. I have knowledge in care requirements for the following species due to working in the veterinary field: rabbits, hamsters, rats/mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and gerbils. I also am experienced and able to care for special needs pets whether if they need medications, a special diet, or have special bathroom requirements.

About Desiree R.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I do have small animals (rabbits), but they have their own private space. Your pet will be able to lounge in the main living areas with no disruption from other animals. I do require dogs to be crate trained in cases or urgencies. My yard is not completely fenced, however this doesn’t deter your pet from being able to enjoy the outdoors as they are constantly supervised and on leash. I also live nearby many parks and aim to provide ample exercise for them in those areas. In the client’s home, I can follow specific directions you may have regarding your pet and any questions on my end will always be relayed to you to avoid confusion.
Information Desiree R. would like to know about your pet
In order for me to provide the best service, please notify me if your pets has any special needs, impairments/disabilities, restrictions, medications, specific dietary needs, allergies, fear or aggression towards strangers and other animals. I’m happy to accommodate to any and all pets as long as I have the proper information provided to me.
A typical day
I love utilizing both physical and mental stimulation for all pets. This includes not only playing with the pet whether it’s fetch or with a cat toy but also providing games that make the pet use their natural instincts and senses, such as sniffing games, puzzles, and even some basic training! For pets that prefer to not play, I’m okay with being a lounge buddy and providing cuddles and scratches.

Availability
I currently work full-time, but love working with animals during my free time. I’m available on the weekends with little restrictions and during the evenings of the week (Monday-Friday) after 3pm. I update my availability on the calendar every month, one month at a time. I encourage meet and greets prior to confirming a booking to ensure you, your pet(s), and I are a great match. It’s also a great way to do introductions and get to know your and your pet prior to a booking. Meet and greets are free of charge.
