Availability

My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I currently work part-time teaching dance and art to kids and I am also a student at FGCU. Outside of those commitments, my schedule is generally open and I’m able to accommodate a variety of daytime, afternoon, evening, and weekend needs. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your pet!

About Desirée V.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment, or host pets in my home for boarding and daycare. I have a fully fenced yard and a pet-friendly home with four dogs and four cats of my own. Because of this, pets staying in my home would need to be comfortable around other animals and able to safely coexist with them. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s personality, needs, and routines beforehand to make sure my home is a good fit. For in-home visits, I’m happy to care for your pets in their own home and follow your instructions and normal routines. I do not offer overnight stays at a client’s home, but I’m happy to provide overnight boarding in my own home when your pet is a good fit for my household. I have built my life around caring for my rescue animals. Your pet will be cared for by someone who genuinely lives and loves the pet-parent life!! ❤️

Pet care experience

A Lifelong Dog Lover 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my entire life—literally since I was a baby! My parents have always had dogs, and I still regularly help care for theirs. Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to four rescue dogs of my own, who are absolutely my fur babies and, for now, my only children! 😂❤️ Having four very different personalities at home has taught me that every dog has their own routine, quirks, energy level, and way of communicating what they need. I also have over a decade experience and background in childcare and education, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and ability to follow individual routines and care instructions. I understand how important it is to care for someone’s loved one with the same attention and respect I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, some extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them comfortable while you’re away, I genuinely enjoy being there for them. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide because I know consistency can make all the difference. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing they are safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I also understand how reassuring it can be to receive updates while you’re away, so I’m happy to keep you informed and let you know how your doggy is doing. Your pets may not be my own, but while they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family. 🐾❤️ * Experienced Dog Mom Who Treats Every Pet Like Family * Reliable, Loving Care From a Lifelong Animal Lover * Four Rescue Dogs * Years of Experience & Lots of Love * Because Your Pets Deserve to Feel Right at Home ❤️
