Let me know if your dog has any behaviors or conditions. If your dog is friendly with other dogs (must be please), and any other preferences I need to know about.

A typical day

I have a bunch of toys and some tennis balls so I take the doggies to the backyard and let them run wild! I’ll throw them the tennis balls and chase them to get them moving.

Love meeting new furry friends!!

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs, specifically Great Danes and a Chihuahua! Friends and family relied on me to care for them, play with them, and love them unconditionally!

Desiree was wonderful with Penny. She was commutative from the start all the way through pick up which made being way a lot easier. Her home is lovely and she has a great fenced yard out back, plus a very sweet dog of her own. She paid close attention to pennies routine and needs without me having to remind her. Booking with her again.

Desiree was amazing, she took great care of my Winston. We got daily updates and she stayed in contact for any questions. She was also really flexible and accommodating for a last minute booking. 10/10 will book her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
