Safety, trust & environment

With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

Information Destiny S. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to share as much detail as possible about your pet - even down to the minute! My goal is to provide the same level of love, care, and routine they expect from you. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, daily enrichment activities, or just extra cuddle time, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in activities that match their personality and energy level! For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and engaging them in enrichment games like treat puzzles or hide-and-seek. If they enjoy learning, I can also practice basic commands or fun tricks. For cats, I like interactive play with wand toys, puzzle feeders, and even leash walks if they’re comfortable. If they’re more relaxed, I’m happy to provide plenty of cuddle time and enrichment like window watching or new scents to explore. My goal is to keep pets happy, engaged, and comfortable while their owners are away!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own fur baby for over 5 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve!

Destiny was a spectacular sitter for us. We knew she would be great when we met her at a meet and great a week before our trip. She was very professional, making sure she had all the details. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures. She could not have been better.

I can't thank Destiny enough for taking such wonderful care of my cats while I was out of town. She is incredibly caring, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy and well-cared for. Not only does she have a natural bond with animals, but her warm and reliable nature made me feel completely at ease knowing my cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!
