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

Information Desiree R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks and letting them explore. With an owners permission, in a controlled environment like a backyard or dog park I love to initiate playtime especially in puppies , fetch and chase are some of my favorite games to play. Depending on the area some of my favorite ares to go on walks are places like gemini springs and blue springs there's a lot of areas to walk around and explore.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for pets since I was 16. I would do overnight sitting for families that took trips out of town. I also have experience with senior dogs as well , I have cared for dogs that were deaf and blind as well as elderly. I provide multiple visits as well .I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages.

Desiree is a perfect 10! Zoe can be very particular but she warmed up to Desiree immediately. Her communication, respect of me, my home and my wishes were perfect. I am definitely going to use her again.
