Pet care experience

Trustworthy & reliable

I have been around animals all my life and love spending my time with them. I volunteered for a grooming facility that was affiliated with a rescue group so I worked with both sides regularly (with walking, cleaning kennels, and bathing). I have rescued and rehabbed all kinds of animals to the point where my Great Pyrenees is not surprised by any animal I may bring home. I have worked with horses, dogs, cats, and bird (even chickens). Therefore, I have definitely picked up on some things and gained some experience from it. I am always looking to continue to learn and gain experience with more animals of all ages and sizes so I hope to further expand my knowledge for the future. Most importantly, I love animals and I will never put myself or an animal in a situation that I do not see fit or feel uncomfortable with. I am currently going to grad school so I am in class on two week nights. I mostly work from home and am available for the rest of the day to help with your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog who loves playing and requires a lot of exercise. I ensure that all dogs I work with are safe on our outings and ensure they are safe wherever we end up. I will work with owners to make sure the correct harnesses/leashes and precautions are taken.

Desiree is such an animal lover and it shows how she interacts with my pets. I feel so calm and comfortable knowing Desiree is taking care of them while I’m away.

Schedule

I work from home most days and will be available during the day. I am going to grad school 2x a week in the evenings but will work with you to find if I can meet the needs of your animals.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Desiree can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your dog is on medication or has any additional needs, please let me know right away. I like doing a walk through a day before including walks and their usual routes so we can go over any triggers (bikes, other dogs, squirrels) so I can be prepared for our future visits.
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.
