VET ASSISTANT&DOG TRAINER
Hi! I want to introduce myself so that you can better understand me and trust me with your companion. I am a Certified Dog Trainer as well as a Certified Fear Free Vet Assistant, Certified Pet CPR & First Aid Instructor, PawChamp Expert, Certified Pet Nutrition Coach and a Certified AKC Evaluator. I work full time as a dog trainer & a pet sitter! I have multiple certifications in animal care such as Dog Behavior, Dog Walking, Cat and Kitten Care, Animal CPR and First Aid and Animal Psychology! I volunteer at an animal shelter almost every Sunday. I also interned at a vet clinic, so I’m fully aware on how to handle an emergency situation if need be! As for animals, I absolutely LOVE them. ALL of them. I currently own 1 orange cat and an Australian shepherd, but growing up I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, turtles, frogs, iguanas and a horse. I am extremely patient and I will connect with your fur baby on a one on one so that I can better understand them and their behavior. I will check in during and after every visit and make sure that your pet is absolutely happy and safe. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I would love to answer them and work with you and your fur babies! I’m always open to doing meet & greets!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We booked Desiree for a four day dog sitting stay and they were absolutely wonderful. Our dog Tucker was so happy, well fed and relaxed when we got home. Desiree communicated from start to finish. I highly recommend to all dog parents and would rebook with Desiree in a heartbeat.
Our pup was in great hands with Desiree!
She was very good. She sent pictures everyday and kept me informed about Winter. Winter would never drink out of a silver and now she does. She was great!!!
Desiree did a wonderful job checking in on our two pups this week. She sends the cutest pictures of them living their best lives!! I will definitely use her again!
Leaving a pet while out of the country is very stressful. I felt very little of that stress knowing that Desiree was looking after my cat.
Desiree was quick to respond and communicated with me very well. Showed up on time and listenes to me about Gator’s quirks, she was great to work with and I would recommend her services.

Never worry when I’m taking care of your beloved fur babies, I will always give them the absolute best care and I ensure they’ll have a good time with me around!

A typical day
Some pets like to play and some like pets and cuddles, don’t worry! I’m an expert in both! Your pet will have such a great time with me, they’ll miss me when I’m gone! (But I’ll probably miss them more 😉)
