Highlights
Pet care experience
In it for the snuggles & tail wags
As a proud pet parent to my dog Kuhu and my cat Benny, I’ve gained firsthand experience in caring for animals with love and dedication. My dog Kuhu is a friendly and well-behaved senior pup, who has taught me the importance of balancing exercise, rest, and attention through daily walks, beach trips, and gentle care for his quiet, elderly needs. I've also cared for rambuncous young dogs and puppies, so I know they require a little more energy and time outside playing. My cat Benny has taught me a lot about animal communication, from playful cues to the "don't you dare touch my belly" glare, as well as all of the daily essentials like litterbox care and vet visits. I truly understand how each animal is different and approaching them and caring for them should be tailored to their personality. My bond with Kuhu and Benny has made me attentive to individual needs, whether it’s providing affection for an attention-seeking pup or respecting the independence of a shy cat. I care for all pets as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well looked after.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my spacious, air-conditioned two-bedroom apartment, where they’ll have plenty of room to relax and feel at home. I have a friendly elderly dog and a shy cat who mostly keeps to himself, ensuring a calm and welcoming environment for your pet. If needed, I can gate off areas of my apartment to provide a safe, stress-free space. For dogs specifically, I take them to a nearby park three times a day for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’m home 90% of the time, so your pet will have plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable space where pets feel cared for and happy, just like they would at home.
Ratings and reviews
Destiny is an absolute gem! I was a little nervous about leaving my cat, Coco, with someone new because she can be a bit shy, but Destiny was amazing. From the moment she met Coco, she was so patient and gentle, and by the end of the first visit, Coco was already purring and rubbing against her legs! Destiny sent me updates every day with pictures of Coco lounging around and playing with her favorite toy (which Destiny even fixed when it broke!). It was such a relief knowing Coco was in such loving and capable hands while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Destiny again!
I can’t say enough good things about Destiny! She’s been taking care of my Australian Shepherd, Charlie since he was a little pup, and she’s been incredible every step of the way. Charlie is super energetic (like most Aussies), and Destiny is always up for the challenge. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, she totally gets what he needs. She is great at keeping me updated with pics and little stories about their time together—it’s like I’m never really away from him. Charlie absolutely adores her, and honestly, I don’t think I’d trust anyone else with him. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and goes above and beyond, Destiny’s your person!
Destiny has been like a second mom to my English Blonde Lab, Honey, since she was just a wiggly little puppy! Honey absolutely lights up whenever she sees Destiny, and it’s easy to see why—she’s so caring and attentive. Whether it’s taking Honey for her daily walks, giving her belly rubs, or helping her burn off some of that endless Lab energy with fun games, Destiny always makes sure Honey is happy and well taken care of. I also love how much attention Destiny pays to the little details. She remembers Honey’s quirks, like how she prefers her treats a certain way or her favorite spot in the yard to sunbathe. It’s clear that Destiny really loves what she does, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Honey is in such loving hands. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my girl!
Destiny has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my golden retriever, Lilikoi! Lilikoi is still young and full of energy, and Destiny has been so patient and loving with her. She knows exactly how to handle all of Lilikoi’s zoomies, and it’s amazing how calm and happy Lilikoi is after spending time with her. What I really appreciate is how much Destiny genuinely cares—she takes the time to play with Lilikoi, work on basic training, and even make sure she gets extra cuddles when she’s feeling a little needy. Destiny also sends me the cutest updates, which always make my day! I completely trust her with my pup and can’t recommend her enough. Lilikoi and I are so lucky to have her! She will actually be watching her for two weeks while we are in Canada, and I am so thankful to know she is in good hands!
Destiny is the absolute best! My little teacup Yorkie, Sugarbaby, can be a bit of a diva (in the cutest way possible), but Destiny knows exactly how to make her feel like the princess she is. From carrying her when she gets too tired on walks to giving her the gentlest brushing sessions, Destiny always goes above and beyond to keep Sugarbaby happy and comfortable. I also love how reliable and thoughtful she is—she always sends me adorable pictures of Sugarbaby, whether she’s snuggled up on the couch or rocking one of her little outfits. It’s so clear that Destiny truly loves animals, and Sugarbaby just adores her. I feel so lucky to have found someone who treats my fur baby like her own!
Destiny is an Amazing Pet Sitter You Can Trust! I recently hired Destiny to care for my dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she showed professionalism, kindness, and a genuine love for animals. My dogs can be a little excitable and they were more well behaved we I got back. Destiny kept me updated with daily pictures and messages, giving me peace of mind knowing my furry family members were in good hands. My house stayed clean, and my dogs seemed so happy and well-cared-for when I returned. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for your pets, I highly recommend Destiny. I will definitely be hiring her again!
