“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”


About: I have a passion for animals. I am sensitive to their needs and have trained my own dogs. I am also trained in calming techniques. I am available for short term or regular care during the summer. With advanced scheduling I can be available mornings, evenings, and weekends. Give me a try.

For open play time, I can go to the local dog park at Carvery Country Park Reserve or use your own backyard.
