Pet care experience
Dog & cat lover who works remote!
I have two pets of my own, a 6 year old dog named Mochi and a 10 year old cat named Tails. But I’ve owned dogs and cats (yes, under the same roof!) my entire life. I’ve house and dog sat for Jas Leverette, host of Canine Intervention and owner of the dog training business Cali K9. I watched his home and 3 dogs, 2 German Shepherds and 1 pit bull. At his home, I, along with the 3 big dogs, also cared for Kylie Jenner’s lovely 4 wiener dogs named Ernie, Penny, Odie, and Moo Pants for one week while she was away at the Met Gala. Finally, I nanny and house/dog sit for the Carney’s a producer couple with a large home in NoHo. I’ve worked for the Carney family for nearly 3 years, watching their 5 year old Akita named Aero along with their home when they are away for vacation and film shoots. I’ve also babysat their children, driven them to soccer practice, and picked them up from school.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I work from home, I rarely have to leave during my sits unless it’s for my martial arts training (with permission, of course.) And since I am trained in Taekwondo, you can trust I can protect the castle! I am great at communicating, but within reason as to not disturb any vacations or me-time. I also love sending photos and videos of pets being happy and having fun during play times. With walks and drop ins, my remote practice is one for which I make my own schedule, so I can easily block off time in my calendar to give pets the proper time they need for the best care
Ratings and reviews
Destini was exceptional. She was very attentive to every instruction we gave, the house was tidier than we left it when we returned. Also, while she was housesitting last summer, we had very valuable animals with us. Kylie Jenner‘s four wiener dogs needed watching while she was overseas. The dogs were well taken care of and we received updates on the status of the dogs via pictures and video of her playing and having fun with the pups. She’s a lovely, warm and reliable person and I would highly recommend her.
I have Destini come to stay at my home to watch my cat Asher when I go home to Chicago to visit my family. Asher took to her right away when she would come and hang out so I knew she was perfect. Def a cat person. She does train for her martial arts but always communicates when and how often she’s leaving. Great communication overall!
Destini has worked for our family for almost 3 years and we consider her a member of our family. My wife and I are both producers who have to leave town often for productions, and we have two teenage twins who she will watch. If we are both stuck in meetings, she will also pick them up from school and take them to afterschool activities — they have a lot of fun with her. We have an Akita mix named Aero who she is very good with. When we are out of town as a family, she is always available to watch Aero and our home for sometimes weeks at a time and is very responsive. Follows our list of tasks reliably and is good about sending us photo updates of Aero. We allow her to have guests, but there’s never been an issue and she always leaves the home spotless. We feel lucky to have her!

Schedule
I own my own remote nutrition counseling practice, so I’m home pretty much all day long. The only times I leave my home is to train taekwondo MWF and Saturday in calabasas from 10am to 11am. However, I’m happy to compromise with training days if pets I’m caring for cannot be left alone for very long.
