Destiny can care for
Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have the flexibility to give animals the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I genuinely enjoy being present with them, and I make space in my schedule to prioritize their needs. For longer bookings like stays over three days or week-long care, I do ask for a bit of notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pets my full presence. As long as communication is clear, I’m reliable, consistent, and happy to accommodate what your animals need.

About Destiny R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely. Feeding, walks, litter, meds, play, while keeping the environment calm and consistent so your pet feels secure. I pay attention to the details, whether that means soft energy for an anxious animal or active engagement for one that needs more stimulation. I understand that it’s not just about the pet, it’s about the home, too. I leave things tidy, follow instructions carefully, and do what I can to keep your pet’s world feeling steady until you return.
Information Destiny R. would like to know about your pet
I like to get a full sense of your pet’s personality, needs, and routine ahead of time so I can care for them as smoothly and respectfully as possible. I usually keep a light checklist of things like feeding times, walking or play preferences, medical needs, triggers, boundaries, and any specific habits or quirks that help me understand them better. Knowing things like how they respond to new people, what comforts them when you’re gone, or how they like to sleep or play makes a big difference. Every pet is different, and the more I know, the better I can meet them where they are.
A typical day
It really depends on the animal’s personality. Some love to play and need stimulation, so I’m happy to play with them and engage with toys like balls, puzzles, feather wands, tug of war, or even just a good old-fashioned game of chase around the yard. For dogs, I enjoy mindful walks, exploring new smells, or just a little fetch if that’s their thing. For more relaxed or older pets, I’ll simply spend quiet time nearby, offer brushing (if they enjoy it), or give gentle affection and companionship. I let them set the tone! I just follow their lead and make sure they feel seen, safe, and cared for.

Pet care experience
Welcome!🌟 I’m Destiny, and I'm an insured pet sitter! I’m so happy you’re here, and even happier to meet your fur baby💞 I’ve spent most of my life around animals, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped raise both cats and dogs. From playful kittens and puppies, to seniors who need a little more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when needed, how to bring calm into the room, and how to make animals feel safe when their person isn’t home. What sets me apart is the way I pay attention. I notice shifts in behavior, I follow instructions closely, and I respect the unique rhythm of every animal. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is steady, gentle, and reliable; something animals tend to trust quickly.

Reviews


Destiny was fantastic! She was communicative, reliable, and extremely trustworthy throughout her stay. She took wonderful care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and affection, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. She also left our home spotless and in pristine condition. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house, which gave us great peace of mind. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to others.


Destiny is so sweet. Jackie the cat liked her. The husky snow snuggled with her. She sent pics and kept me up to date. She was on time, dependable, responsive. Will use again

Destiny took great care of Jax while we were gone

Took care of my cat and place while I was on a ten day work trip recently and did a GREAT job
