Information Destiny N. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a positive experience, please let me know if your pet has any allergies, specific routines for walks, interactions with other animals or people, medications they require, or any restrictions such as furniture access or areas they shouldn’t be petted. Also, if there are particular toys or activities that your pet enjoys, I’ll make sure they have a fun and engaging stay.

A typical day

I have access to a beautiful dog park with multiple walking paths and a pond, which I enjoy myself as well as for the dogs I care for. Your pet will have plenty of opportunities to play and socialize, including the possibility of play dates with other friendly dogs.

Pet care experience

I have been passionate about animal care since volunteering at the Animal Care League in 2012. During that year, I discovered my genuine love for animals, which has only grown since then. I have numerous years of experience dog and cat sitting, providing customized care that includes playtime, long walks, behavioral rewards, and all necessary health support such as administering vitamins, baths, medications, brushing, and blended foods. I prioritize ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for, and I am committed to keeping you updated with regular reports, so you have peace of mind when you're apart. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs or preferences your pet may have. With over 200 pets cared for since 2012, I maintain a dedicated and personalized approach. I do not host multiple pets from different owners in my home unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon. My goal is to provide a consistent, trustworthy, and loving environment. I am available with flexible scheduling, except during times I may be walking other dogs. I stay with your pet 24/7, and I am doing everything I can to move closer to achieving my dream of opening The Collared Inn Suites, a premier dog hotel. I also have cameras both inside and outside to facilitate frequent updates and ensure your pet’s safety. Caring for animals is my life and full-time passion. Your pet's well-being is my top priority—feeding, bathroom breaks, and attention come before anything else! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member and hope to establish a lasting relationship.

Destiny watched our dog and house while we went on vacation and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Very communicative, sent photo updates, and took great care of our home. Will definitely rebook!

Destiny is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She cared for my dog, Stanley, in her home and from start to finish, the experience was beyond anything I could have hoped for. What sets Destiny apart is how genuinely she treats your dog like her own. Stanley wasn’t just being watched—he was loved, cared for, and fully part of her home. That level of trust and comfort is priceless when you’re away. Her communication is outstanding. She sends daily updates with photos that are not only reassuring but honestly incredible—like professional-quality pictures of your pup❤️🐾 It made such a difference being able to see Stanley happy, relaxed, and thriving every single day. If you’re looking for someone who will provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment—and keep you completely at ease while you’re away—Destiny is the one! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She goes above and beyond and your fur babies will be in the best care with her😊🐾

Destiny was wonder with our dogs! They looked so happy in every photo and video we received. We loved how many videos and photos we got every day. The house was clean upon return! Would definitely hire again
