Active, Responsible & Loves Dogs!

Pet care experience

As a dog and cat owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog in the hands of someone else. If you choose to work with me, you can be sure your dog(s) is in good hands! I have years of experience pet sitting, dog walking/running, and administering medicine. I volunteer with rescue organizations and have trained my own dog to be a CGC (canine good citizen) certified dog. I am very reliable, experienced, and caring and I haven't met a dog I didn't like! I would love to take your dog on an adventure through my neighborhood, down for a dip at the lake, for playtime at Red Bud Isle and some couch cuddle time. Oh, and I also update you with photos along the way :)

Dessa is a fantastic dog sitter who truly cares about your pet's well-being. My little Pomeranian, Mogley, is very shy and has severe separation anxiety. Dessa understood his needs and personality, was very aware of when he wanted attention and when he wanted to be left alone. Next time I need a sitter, I know who to call!

Dessa is such a loving dog sitter! She has watched my Boxer, Ruby, many times while we have gone out of town. I know Ruby always has a blast when Dessa dog sits. Dessa keeps us updated with all the walks/runs and adventures they go on. I would highly recommend her.

I know firsthand how Dessa treats dogs, our family dog and her own rescue baby. Early on our dog handler was impressed with her skill and I am now awed with her patience and dedication shown to her adopted pup with heartworm disease. She has sit for dogs and children alike who love her and respect her. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Dessa walks my dogs every other weekday. Each time they come back exhausted. Dessa is reliable and flexible. She has walked my dog on very short notice and also always shows up when scheduled. She has been a godsend and the dogs love her!
