Pawsitively Pawfect Pet Care! 🐾

Hey there, I'm Dez – thrilled to make your acquaintance! 🐾 Whether it's your four-legged pal or your feline friend, I'm here to lend a paw and make their day brighter! At home, I'm the proud companion of King Bear, my adorable Miniature Australian Shepherd who's almost 2 years old. With his fluffy bear-like appearance, he steals hearts wherever he goes! And let's not forget about Midnight, our cool cat who's currently enjoying the great outdoors – she's our adventurous rescue, about 7 months old and always exploring new territories! What sets me apart? Well, besides being a devoted pet lover, I bring a unique set of skills to the table. From basic obedience training to enriching outdoor adventures, I've got the knack for tailoring experiences that cater to each pet's individual needs and preferences. Plus, with King Bear by my side as my emotional support animal, I understand firsthand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for our furry companions. I'm all about giving unconditional love to my fur babies, and I can't wait to extend that same affection to yours. Got questions or just want to chat about our furry companions? Drop me a message anytime – I'm here for you! Wishing you the best of luck on your search for the perfect rover buddy! 🚀

Dez was awesome! She followed all instructions and always showed up in the agreed upon time frame. Her updates were thorough and with pictures of them playing in the dog park. She took them on long walks and gave them tons of exercise they had a great time playing with her dog King. I will definitely be using Dez again in the future, she was super easy to work with even when plans changed up a bit. Thank you Dez!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 18, 2023

Destiny is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of my furry babies! When I first met her, I got an excellent first impression. She is very sweet, friendly and was great with my pets! Destiny made sure our pets were well taken cared off, walked my dog Clover and made sure the two babies ate. When she bought them back home after the daycare, our pets were relaxed and happy. I absolutely book her again! Her & her siblings are the sweetest! ♥️

Terrible. When I returned to my house, opened the door, the smell of dog waste was so overwhelming I became nauseous. As I turned the corner of hallway, I found 4 piles of dog feces. It was on a very expensive oriental wool rug. Not one (1) plie, but four (4). Immediately I turned the ac down low, turned on three air hepa air filter fans, then started to clean up dog waste. This was after driving back 7 hours. Important to know both my dogs were outside on back porch. I agreed that they be put there in order for her to NOT have to make final visit. So, this means the dogs were on rear porch for at least 7 hours, NOT IN THE HOUSE. Obviously, she didn't clean up their accident. Additionally, I found the kitchen trash can filled with bag of soiled dog waste. So that compounded the smell. Five days of putting dog waste in one trash can, in a home in Florida. Common sense would say she could have at a minimum removed the trash bag, put outside. Back to the night I returned. The smell was so bad I slept outside on the back porch. But before that I cleaned the carpet and other areas with dog feces. Went through an entire bottle of carpet cleaner using an electric carpet cleaner machine. Well, next day, smell still is strong, nauseating. Apparently the smell has gotten into my Carrier High Efficient filtration ac system. This is a NIGHTMARE ! THIS WILL COST ME MORE TO CORRECT THAN TGE COST FOR ROVER DOG SITTER SERVICE. I am requesting a 100% refund to go back on my credit card on file with Rover. Additionally, I am requesting I be reimbursed for the cost to have the rugs cleaned by a reputable carpet cleaner company. And I am requesting that I be compensated for a Carrier HEPA filter for my ac system. I would Not recommend this person, Destiny J. . If I could rate less than one (1) star I would. My dogs are nine years old, Shetland Sheep Dogs. NEVER HAVE I EXPERIENCED SUCH TERRIBLE DOG SITTER SERVICE.

Destiny was awesome! I appreciate her being able to help us on such short notice. This was my first experience having a dog walker help us while on vacation and I would definitely do it again. Thank you so much!

Schedule

Oh, it's like this: I'm all about flexible schedules! Working from home gives me the freedom to sprinkle some pet love throughout my day, whether it's a quick play break or a leisurely stroll. My furry friends keep me on my toes, but hey, that's the joy of it, right? 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

You got it! Think of it like this: safety's my top priority, whether it's at my place or yours. I make sure the environment is pet-friendly, cozy, and filled with all the good vibes. We’ll have daily run around time. I usually have extra bowls, gates to keep them separated (especially when eating!). Your fur baby's in good hands with me! 🏡🐾

Pets

A typical day

Oh, we're talking a full-on pet party! From playful fetch sessions to scenic walks in the park, we'll explore all the fun spots together. Toss in some interactive toys, belly rubs galore, and maybe even a treat or two – it's all about keeping those tails wagging and those purrs going strong! ??

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Destiny can host up to 1 pet per night
I want to know all about their favorite games, whether they're a fetch fanatic or a tug-of-war champ. Plus, let's talk about their go-to treats – are they all about crunchy biscuits or more of a chewy snack connoisseur? And of course, any special needs or unique habits they have, like a certain spot they love to be scratched or a funny little dance they do before mealtime. Crate or bed? The more details I gather, the better I can craft a tailor-made experience that's just right for them! ?✨And Temperament! Of course there’s my dog King who loves anything that walks and breathes haha, so if your dog is a little shy, and a meet and greet is necessary to get them aquatinted and comfortable then we’ll do!
