Pet care experience

Your dogs new favorite sitter!

I’ve personally had dogs my whole life! I have experience with caring for senior dogs as well as puppies. I have a special place in my heart for labs, but I love them all! I’ve yet to meet a dog I don’t like. I have experience is administering meds, crate training, and providing overall care to your pet 😀

I highly recommend Dessie! My family and I went on a cruise for a week. Leaving a pet for a full week can be very stressful, but she made the entire experience completely worry-free. I received regular updates, and photos of my dog Marley. He came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Dessie was highly professional, reliable, and fantastic from start to finish. She was reassuring and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be booking with her again!

A very dependable caregiver to cats and dogs! Trustworthy and follows directions well. Capable of providing medications and strict diets to those animals that take special needs. Sends pics and videos as well to keep you connected with your pet!

Schedule

As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. For boarding, I offer Thursday evening drop-offs, and pets must be picked up by Sunday. This helps me ensure each pet gets the best care possible during their stay

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly dogs of my own, Sunny and Ruby, so I understand the importance of maintaining a safe, loving, and structured environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I also make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy and well cared for

Pets

A typical day

Pets in my care enjoy plenty of fun, exercise, and enrichment throughout their stay. Activities include morning walks, supervised playtime in my fenced dog yard, enrichment games and puzzles, and lots of one-on-one attention. I tailor activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality to ensure they stay happy, engaged, and comfortable. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience
