Pet care experience

Loves long walks and belly rubs

Hi! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a family dog from the age of 7, and even dreamed of becoming a veterinarian as a kid. That passion led me to work at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. While I eventually chose a different career path, my love for animals never faded. I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for—just like they’re part of my own family.

Destini was a great sitter. She’s met my dog several times and lives in my building. This enabled Sawyer to stay at home in a more comfortable setting. I would recommend booking Destini as your next dog sitter!

Destini is absolutely amazing when it comes down to my Sam. She treats him as if he's hers & I have no worries or care in the world knowing he's well taken care of when he's with her. She sends videos & pictures of their daily outings & I'm so grateful she's in our lives.

Teddy loves his time with Destiny! I have a very demanding job, in addition to frequent travel and Destiny has honestly been a huge street relief for me! Having good reliable dog care is so important and I appreciate all that she does!

Schedule

I work right across the street from my apartment, so I’m able to come home during my lunch break to check in on your pet. Your dog will get three walks a day—morning, midday, and evening. Breakfast is served after the morning walk while I get ready for work, and dinner is given after I return home, just before the evening walk. I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and a consistent routine throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I kindly ask that all pets be crate-trained and arrive clean. Please provide any necessary food, medications, and emergency medical contacts at drop-off. Since I live in a studio apartment, I currently only host small dogs.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of outdoor fun with long walks around the Navy Yard neighborhood, where there are always lots of friendly dogs and chances to make new furry friends. We might swing by Compass Coffee for a pup cup, enjoy some people-watching at local parks and dog-friendly patios, and spend time at the dog park for play and socialization.

It is important that I know ahead of time if your pet is friendly with other pets and people, crate/potty trained, and if they are on medication.
