Pet care experience
Hi! I want to introduce myself so that you can get a sense of who I am so that you can better understand me and trust me with your companion. I am a 21 year old college student and I recently graduated college with my AAS degree in Automotive. I am now going back to school to become a Vet Tech! I have multiple online certifications in animal care such as, Dog Behavior, Dog Walking, Cat and Kitten Care, Animal CPR and First Aid, Animal Therapy, Animal Grooming and Veterinary Support Assistant and I am still working on others as well and will update my bio with every earned certificate I get in the future. I work at a vet clinic on the weekends and volunteer at an animal shelter every Sunday. I work during the week as a Mechanic but would like to focus my time on switching my career and working with animals as much as I can. As for animals, I absolutely LOVE them. ALL of them. I currently own 2 cats but growing up I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, turtles, frogs, iguanas and I even had a horse. I am a beginner at dog walking since I haven’t done it much since I was younger about 6 years ago when my dog passed, however, I am extremely patient and a very fast learner and I will connect with your dog on a one on one so that I can better understand him and his needs and behavior. I will check in after every walk and make sure that your dog is absolutely safe. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I would love to answer them and work with you and your pup(s)!
Reviews
Desiree was fantastic. Hired her without knowing anything about her but her bio. Had to take my kids on a 2 day travel baseball trip and she took care of everything for my 3 dogs and 1 cat perfectly while we were gone. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Responsible and kept me informed couldn’t ask for more. Thanks!
Desiree has such a beautiful soul, so caring for others pets as they were your own. She walked my two full size goldendoodles, which are very energetic and friendly. Upon returning, I saw them outside and both doodles and Desiree were smiling and you can tell how genuine she is. Definitely recommend especially with her extensive knowledge and background of pet safety, pet cpr, nutrition, etc.
Desiree shows the utmost compassion and care for all animals. She is attentive and gentle and her passion for providing excellent care for animals is hands down the best I have seen. I would highly recomend her as a care giver and friend to your furry family memebers.
