Fun, caring animal lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets all my life! Especially cats and dogs. I have started rescuing and rehoming animals a few years ago and have experience with “exotic” pets as well, reptiles, Guinea pigs, chinchillas, fish, turtles, birds, etc. I love animals and always go out my way to make them happy, comfortable, spoiled! I dog sit for my neighbors and friend all the time and actively participate in volunteering for the human society (which is where I adopted my oldest dog!)

Desiree was communicative and helpful with our dog! She ran into some traffic, but kept us updated throughout her time. She even snapped some cute videos of our pup!

Desiree went above and beyond for our kitties while we were gone. We had a security scare and she went back to double check that they were fine. Great pics sent daily with updates. Would recommend her!!

Desiree is a super kind and thoughtful human! You and your pet couldn't get much luckier. She'll take fantastic care of what's needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I can administer medication and follow dietary or medical needs for your animal. I do prefer and detailed outline of what your dog needs, feeding schedules, walking needs, and dietary needs, etc., I know routine is important for some animals and I like to honor that!

Information Desiree S. would like to know about your pet

Please just let me know any walking habits your pet has, are they friendly with other dogs, people, children; for drop-ins, is there anything specific you would need me to do while there? For sitting, is there a schedule you want me to try to follow, to keep consistency.

A typical day

I will always try to make walks more enjoyable for your pups, including letting them lead the way (safely). Drop-ins I will always walk your dog and do some play time or cuddle time whichever they prefer. Same with cats, I always try to give as much pets and love to them and respect any boundaries with any ones animals since I will be a new person for them.
