Following Your Routine: I follow your established routine explicitly to keep your pets comfortable and stress-free. Daily Updates & Photos: You will receive regular photo/video updates to give you peace of mind while you are away. Family-Friendly Care: My 4-year-old may accompany me, which provides a gentle, loving atmosphere for pets who enjoy family-style interaction. I ensure that all interactions are supervised and gentle. Safety First: I respect all animal boundaries and keep them safe and comfortable in their environment.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in northern Michigan with all sorts of fun critters. I love animals and wanted to be a vet for the longest time. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school and would definitely do that again if I could. I served 5 years in the Navy and was devastated to leave my dog behind. I would love to give owners a peace of mind when they are away. I worked as a Full time dog groomer where I dealt with all sorts of dogs (from puppies to seniors) before having my amazing son. I have lots of time now that I'm a stay at home mom. I can also provide some grooming services if needed such as trimming nails. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Desiree was great! Our babies were well taken care of the week we were out of town. We would definitely recommend her services and look forward to working with her in the future.

Desiree did a great job taking care of my pets on short notice! She even got my nervous dog to warm up to her. I am very grateful and I’d recommend her to anyone!

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.
