Life is better with a dog

Pet care experience

I am an insane animal lover and always have been. Doesn't matter the animal I am always quick to fall in love. With dogs there is a special bond or connection, they depend on you for just about everything. It is important to make sure the pups are comfortable in their environment and have all the basic life necessities accessible to them. Dogs need lots of love, attention, outdoors, and treats! I have experience with just about every dog, large, small, loud, escape artists, shy, older (who need more attention and help), puppies, potty issues, and even the destructable ones. I would also like to point out I have years of experience dealing with large mixed pits, my family has always had pits and my most recent family dog is a 60pd mixed Lab and Pit, which isn't as large as most big he is powerful. Most cases with pits is they are shy at first then have an overmelming love and excitement frenzy not realising their size which can be overwhelming to most people. The longest I have boarded a dog was roughly 25 days, I offer both doggie boarding and doggie house sitting, as well as the other services listed. I have a very flexiable schedule and am able to have frequent breaks while at work which makes it perfect for the the pup potty breaks and much easier to give the dogs all of the attention and care they need. As a dog owner myself I know that I would only want to trust someone with my dog if they truly loved cared for dogs as much as I do. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am available any hours of the day and everyday of the week unless stated otherwise. Feel free to send me a message!!

Very pleased with Destiny's services. She was quick to respond and hit it off immediately with our dog. She sent a photo right after her scheduled visit, which gave us peace of mind that our pet was taken care of in our absence. Will definitely book again!

This is the second time I've hired Destiny, and the first time she's watched all 3 of my dogs. My issues with this stay are: 1) I told Destiny she needed to constantly supervise my dogs in the backyard because one of them often jumps the fence. I got a text from my neighbor while I was out of town for work telling me that not one but two of my dogs were in her yard. According to Destiny, she only left them unsupervised for a short time (to use the bathroom), but it was long enough for a dog to jump over the fence and a second dog to dig under the fence after her. 2) The gate that keeps my dogs safely contained in the backyard was not fully latched when I returned home. I'm not even sure why Destiny needed to use this gate. 3) I hired Destiny with the expectation that I would return Friday evening. When I texted her Friday morning to coordinate, she informed me she had checked on them at 10:30am before going to work...and wouldn't get off work until 9pm that night. I rearranged my schedule and excused myself from a work dinner to get home early. I am not comfortable with Destiny gambling with my dogs' safety. And I am not happy about a sitter thinking it's okay to leave my 3 dogs alone all day for 11 hours without a bathroom break. Destiny did not ask me if this was okay or tell me this was her plan. I did not pay for house sitting so my dogs could have one AM drop in visit. 11 hours between visits not what we discussed when I hired her the first time and is unacceptable. Based on this stay, I have determined that I cannot trust Destiny to properly care for my dogs and I will not be using her again.

Destiny was great with our Pit Bull. A lot of people are hesitant when first meeting her, but Destiny seemed immediately comfortable with her. We told Destiny that she could leave any time the next morning. She stayed until 10am and texted me with an update before leaving. We came home to a happy puppy!
