About Desiree

I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and looking after homes while families are away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to treating every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

I have extensive experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities—including high-energy breeds, shy or nervous pets, and senior animals who need extra support. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, grooming needs, and quiet time. For example, I may do morning walks, administer midday medications, provide enrichment through puzzle toys or training sessions, and ensure pets have calm, consistent bedtime routines. I’m comfortable giving medications, whether oral, topical, or at specific times of day, and can handle specialized care, such as insulin injections or pets with dietary restrictions.

My motivation as a pet sitter comes from knowing I can give both pets and owners true peace of mind. Pets receive the attention, structure, and affection they need, and owners can travel or work without worry. Caring for animals brings me joy, and being a pet sitter allows me to combine that passion with my dedication to helping families feel confident that their homes and pets are in good hands.

I’m always very communicative with families while I’m caring for their pets. If you’d like updates, I’m happy to send daily photos, videos, and notes about our activities so you feel connected and reassured. I also stay attentive and calm in unexpected situations—whether a pet is feeling anxious, not eating normally, has an accident, or a minor household issue arises. I’m trained to handle emergencies responsibly, including contacting veterinarians or following emergency care plans, and I adapt my approach to each pet’s unique personality to keep them calm and comfortable.

My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as stable, comforting, and joyful as possible while you’re away, providing both care and companionship that ensures pets feel loved and safe every day
