Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority , I follow any and all instructions left by the owner as well as making sure that on walks and visits the environment is safe as well as making sure that anything out of the ordinary is communicated with the owner. I take pet health extremely serious and am always paying close attention to make sure their as safe and healthy as possible while in my care

I can’t say enough good things about Desiree. She is so attentive to my boys and I know whenever I’m gone they’re in the best care.

Desiree is so amazing! Anytime we need to have someone stay with our babies she’s the first one we ask. She loves them like they are her own! Our babies love and trust her and much as we do!

Desiree is our go to!! She’s the best and our dogs adore her. We had her watch them during our wedding weekend and had such peace of mind that she was with them cuddling the days away!

Desiree always keeps our pets happy, and house as clean as she found it. We will continue to use her because she's simply the best. We love her pet updates with pictures attached.

Its important for me to know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or requirements. For walks if your dog needs to be redirected away from other dogs or people please inform me so I can be sure to keep us away from others on our walks, if at the end of a visit or a walk your dog normally gets a treat please specify what kind and how many, I know some dogs have a strict diet or get upset tummies easily and I dont want to upset any routines or balance you might have. Also please specify where you would like your pet to be at the end of a visit ( crate, bedroom, backyard , free roaming). I look forward to working with you thank you for your consideration.
