Pet care experience

Owner away? I walk, sit and stay.

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 put my mind at total ease during my wedding weekend while she cared for my doodles. I will always reach out to her going forward if I need someone to care for my crew! Thank you Desiree!!

Amazing experience. Desiree and her husband took excellent care of my sick kitten. She needed meds round the clock and feeding and they took great care of her. They didn’t keep her in a cage and isolated her in a room where she could play free. They played and socialized with Muki and kept me updated. I hot regular texts and pictures. Highly recommend them. Kind and caring people.

Desiree and her family were wonderful with our cat. They were reliable and communicative. We received daily updates and photos, and the photos are so cute! Our cat didn’t have experience living with a dog but now he gets used to it. We would love to book with her again!
