Highlights
Pet care experience
CPS-DW Certified Animal Caregiver
I have many years of experience in Animal Care, studied Animal Science at UMASS Amherst, and have a CPS-DW (Certified Pet Sitter-Dog Walker) Certification. I’ve cared for all sorts of animals for friends, family and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I’ve only ever worked in the Animal Care workforce and my professional career started when I was 14. I can adequately care for all animals, especially cats, dogs, rodents and parrots. I can adept at administer meds as well as injections. I’ve worked in kennels, doggie daycares/boarding facilities, and veterinary hospitals, and have also fostered kittens through A Pawsitive Approach Animal Rescue in California.

Ratings and reviews
Destiny was absolutely wonderful with our pup Marla! Marla is older and requires a lot of attention and Destiny was so attentive with her and took her on all the walks she wanted. She left our house spotless and was so communicative with updates. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed she worked with us to ensure Marla was well taken care of. We will be booking with Destiny again!
Destiny was reliable, communicative, friendly and awesome. She gave extra snuggles and sent lots of photos. Thank you!
Destiny was incredibly knowledgeable, capable, and thoughtful watching my dog. I'd never left my dog with anyone before, so I wasn't sure exactly how it would go, but Destiny did a great job following all of our routines, keeping my dog enriched, and sent really through updates every day. I would recommend Destiny to anyone looking for a dog sitter or walker.
Destiny is incredibly passionate about care for animals. From professionalism during meet and greets, information grabbing questions, and overall thoroughness, really made me feel incredibly comfortable with handing my pup over. Destiny is great, would book again, recommend to everyone
