Love, Laughs & Happiness 4 Them

Pet care experience

Hi and thanks for stopping to read more. I’m an animal lover. I’m patient and attentive to each fur kids needs and personalities. If they are on a routine, diet or have special needs, feel less stressed knowing it will be done. I have a diabetic dog so I am comfortable with administering shots and understand the importance of schedules, dietary needs and alertness for behavior. All the fur cats and dogs are welcomed anywhere in the home and on furniture, including cuddles for naps. I love playing, loving and training. I’ve trained one of my fur kids (Bella) to be my service animal. And because every breed has their own DNA hardwire, I make sure I’m aware of their general habits. I am a full time FurMom and am the go to person when someone needs a sitter because I don’t have other commitments and I can stay home, walk, train and/or care. I have an enclosed backyard patio with some dirt area for the bathroom and concrete to sun bathe. I also have a roof top deck fenced in if it’s a nice day for sun and breeze. I live in a really dog friendly neighborhood and have 3 floors for stretching their legs. I have a spare bedroom for anyone to relax in and an indoor camera to see monitor

Absolutely amazing ! Desiree made my puppy feel so comfortable I felt absolutely comfortable leaving him. Before he even came Desiree made sure to ask every question about him. Allergies, behaviors, etc. My puppy fit right in and felt so safe and happy. Desiree made sure he got along and was comfy with every dog there and sent so many happy pictures of him ! As an anxious dog mommy, we will definitely be coming back ☺️ 10/10 recommendation !

Information Desiree V. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know what are their special needs. Any dietary restrictions? Medications they need? Having any medical concerns? Have anxiety? Are they a rescue or were they abused? How old are they?

A typical day

I love playing mini games with dogs. Putting a treat under a bowl of 3 and seeing them use their senses to pick the treat. Using a laser pen with cats and creating trails with treats to stimulate their visual and nose sensors. I take my dogs on a 2 mile walk, I carry the one who is blind in his back pack, because the stadium is just down the street and it’s an awesome wall
