I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Cats, Dogs, Fish, Frogs, Turtles, Ferrets, Hamsters, you name it! I truly love our furry and non furry friends. Animal Behavior experience. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters in my free time.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Destini did an absolutely amazing job taking care of Siggi, our dog — she was incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and kind, going above and beyond in her care. In short, we’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic care for their pup and will definitely be booking with her again.
Destini was great. My Arlo was well taken care of . Arlo is a high energy puppy and Destini was able to handle and even calm him and continue to enforce training.
Destini has been walking my Husky- German Shepherd for about a month now and has been great! She is communicative and reliable. And always brings special treats for my pup!
I loved working with Destini and would love to do it again. She accommodated a last minute request due to a family emergency and I will forever be grateful. We discussed my dogs (Sadie) needs and she was able to accommodate those as well. Sadie is 14, has a few health issues and can be a bit aloof and stubborn with strangers. Destini was able to set Sadie up with her own space and kept her comfortable until her personality came out a bit more. From the videos and pictures I was sent, Sadie did great!! Destini allowed my dog the freedom to relax in her backyard and porch and even helped her a bit with her potty training. (Being so old at this point she can be prone to some accidents.) I was able to put my mind at ease (as much as it could be) and spend some time with my family. I would absolutely visit Destini again, hopefully the next time it’s under better circumstances.
Destini is absolutely amazing! She keeps in contact the entire time she watches my pets, sends video updates of her playing with and walking my dogs. I’ve used her several times and you can tell my dogs love her, tail wagging constantly and they look very happy and run to her when we get out of the car. Her house is gorgeous and very spacious. My dog’s personally are not crate trained so it’s important that they have space to roam. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. My dogs always come home safe, happy and eager to go back anytime.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is an extremely welcoming environment. It’s private and quiet. I have secured gates on both my front and backyard so your pets will be safe. Both yards are cleaned daily to maintain safety and health. Plenty of open space for your dog(s) to roam. They will have access to both yards to do nose work, play fetch, sun themselves, get fresh air, dig and just run around and play. I have access to several parks and quiet streets in the area for walk times, potty, training, and exercise. They will have access to fresh water, my bed, several pet beds, couch, bedroom beds, blankets, and an XXL crate (only should you want your pet to be crated). I have google home in my house to play soft music or green noise for nervous pets! I have toys, chews, treats, snuffle mats, slow feeders, and treat puzzles for indoor mental stimulation. Pets will be able to free roam 24/7 unless you request or require otherwise. I do have several extra bedrooms if you’d like to isolate them, or if they need to be isolated for any reason. Since this is a pet friendly area, all cleaning supplies/products are kept in an area that is inaccessible to pets. Your dogs will always be safe on walks as I double check harnesses and collars, typically use double leashes, or carry an extra with me. And reinforce re-call with treats and positive reinforcement. If your dog is very small or disabled, I will gladly carry them outside for walks so that they may still get fresh air and mental stimulation. My phone will be on and available for you to check on your pet as much as you’d like. I will send you several updates, pictures/videos, and keep communication open daily.
Pets
A typical day
I can provide treats, toys, snuffle mats, puzzle toys, etc for indoor mental stimulation. I’m big on exercise for higher energy dogs. We can go on a run together, or just extra walks. If they’re boarding with me I have a huge (and safe!) backyard for nose work, running, jumping, digging, fetch, etc. I love to “hide” treats for extra nose work, sort of like a dog Easter egg hunt! I can provide soft music and ambient/green noise for our more nervous companions. For cats, I can provide toys, treats, snuffle mats, feathers, catnip, etc for mental stimulation. If nothing else, I’m here to provide plenty of love, cuddles, and pets. For a small fee, I can provide basic grooming like nail filing or brushing.
