She is amazing. I highly recommend this pet sitter. I have two cats and one of them is fairly standoffish and nervous around people. And for some unknown reason, this cat, is in love with her. I had no idea he could be so sweet and cuddly with people and somehow, something magical about her makes him safe and feel loved. I'm almost a little bit jealous of her as a result. I don't think he's ever been as cuddly with me as he is with her. He's a wonderful cat but he definitely has human preferences.

Desirée is great and our go to when either we’re away for a few days or just need some extra assistance. She’s prompt and thoughtful and Berland loves seeing her. I strongly recommend her.

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.
