Pet care experience

It all started on the farm

As a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine affection to my role as a pet sitter and dog walker. Growing up on a farm, I had the joy of being surrounded by animals of all kinds, and I even trained them for shows. This hands-on experience taught me the importance of patience, trust, and understanding when working with animals. As an adult, I’ve always had a family of cats and dogs who are cherished members of my household. I truly enjoy extending that love and care to other animals, ensuring their needs are met with kindness and attention. Walking dogs is one of my favorite ways to spend my time—it combines fresh air, exercise, and the joy of being outdoors under the sun with my furry companions. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or energetic playtime, I aim to make every visit a positive, enriching experience for the animals I care for. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, fun, and attention to their unique needs.

They were very accommodating! One of our dogs was going through some medical issues and they were great about giving him his meds, cleaned his vomit and replaced his belly bands. Definitely will be using them again for any pet sitting needs

We had an amazing experience! Desiree was constantly giving us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of our dogs is very needy and struggles with separation anxiety, so we were really worried about leaving him (for the first time) behind for several days. But because of her care, patience, and attention, we were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing all of our dogs were in good hands. We’re so grateful and will definitely be booking with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

If caring for pets in my own home, I have a fenced in divided yard with lots of grass and room to roam. There is a dog door so they have complete access to the yard and I ensure they get out for a long walk at least once a day. Aside from that, the care is based on your needs and preferences.

Pets
