Availability
🤍 Updated Schedule 🤍 • Tuesday–Thursday: Mornings are open for drop-in’s and walks until 10:00 AM, with availability again after 7:00 PM for any house sitting or check in’s ☺️ • Friday–Monday: Generally flexible and available for house sitting, including weekends 🎉 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I balance school and part-time work while maintaining a consistent, organized schedule. I’m reliable and intentional about providing pets with consistent care, attention, walks, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m happy to communicate about specific care needs and make sure each pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible while you’re away.

About Desiree R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking services, and I do not provide pet care in my own home. All care is provided in the client’s home or during scheduled walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and maintaining the pet’s normal environment to help reduce stress while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secured before and after walks, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to ensure they are comfortable and safe at all times. I also keep the home clean and respected, leaving everything as I found it. Trust and communication are very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so owners always know how their pet is doing.
Information Desiree R. would like to know about your pet
Please feel free to provide me with any information about your babies before I meet them! I normally take my notebook with me the day we meet to write down their food & potty schedules and additional important information ☺️
A typical day
With the pets I watch, I focus on activities that match their energy level, personality, and routine so they stay happy, comfortable, and engaged. For dogs, I enjoy going on structured walks where they can get exercise, sniff, and explore safely. If the dog is more active, I’ll include extra time for play like fetch or light running in a safe area. For calmer pets, I focus on slower-paced walks and plenty of attention and comfort. I also love taking my clients dogs to the beach. For cats, I engage them with interactive play such as wand toys or gentle games that keep them mentally stimulated, along with plenty of companionship and care so they feel relaxed and not lonely. Overall, I aim to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and entertained while still keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible.

Pet care experience
I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

Reviews
We had a wonderful experience with Desiree as our sitter and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our six-month-old puppy. She was very attentive to all the details we shared about our puppy’s needs and asked thoughtful questions to ensure we felt heard and completely comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Desiree proved to be an excellent choice, and we look forward to having her care for our puppy again at our next booking!
