The pet comes first! I would plan my day around your pet's usual routine. I would stop by in the mornings and stay until the evening (or stay the night, if need be) so I know your pet is content and entertained.

Safety, trust & environment

When in my client’s home, I like to keep the dog’s normal daily schedule so they feel comfortable. I usually add an extra walk or two to get them nice and tired.

Information Desiree W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how often/how long they usually go for walks. I usually ask how comfortable your dog(s) are with water/rain. I also ask if there’s anything you usually do to make your dog more comfortable during thunderstorms or any other loud noises that occur (traffic outside, construction, etc).

A typical day

I enjoy playing games with pups. If you have toys to hide treats in, I will definitely use those! If not, I will practice commands I know they know to mentally stimulate your dog(s).

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've been the go to person for my family and friends dogs. I take pride in my spa like doggie baths. I like to put on essential oils, soft music, and make sure they get plenty of treats afterward (in case bath time isn't their favorite).

It was great to have Desiree watch our dogs while away. I appreciate her flexibility with last days timing as my flight arrived later then originally thought.

Desiree looked after our puppy and apartment with such amazing care. She provided updates and photos every day, and we knew just from looking that Lady was feeling safe and happy with Desiree. They even rode out an ice storm together, and we were so grateful for Desiree’s thoughtfulness towards the care of the apartment and of Lady’s comfort throughout that time. Will absolutely book any time she is available! Thank you Desiree!

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.
