Desirée Andresen CPPS
OWNER - Pet First Aid, CPR Certified
I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) and I have been rescuing animals and caring for animals since I was a little girl. From nursing pigeons back to health when I was 10, and then I pull the “oh my gosh mom, this sweet dog just followed me home” trick when I was 11 ( that happened at least four times at that age and we always found their owners!), and really to just always looking out for any animal that needed my help! My experience in caring for animals comes from having my own pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, birds, horses, fish, and rabbits), caring for friends and families pets, volunteer work, and working with a dog rescue in Colorado.
I have my rescue crew, three cats and one dog. Jackson (the pup), Pablo Escobar (cat), Chapo (cat), and then there is Oliver (kitten). Oliver came to me at 2 days old as a foster. The bond is like nothing else when you are bottle feeding them and taking care of them like a momma cat. He stole our hearts and now he’s part of the pride/pack 😊!
It’s a privilege to care for your pets the way you do!

Samantha Lauer
Pet Sitter/Dog Walker - Pet First Aid/CPR Certified
Hi, My name is Sam, more importantly known as Nala’s Mom. I am a born and raised Las Vegas native who grew up taking care of dogs, cats, fish, pet rocks, you name it! I am a true believer that pets are family and should be treated as such. I am pet nutrition certified & a brand influencer for PetClub 247.
In my spare time, you can usually find me hanging out with my four-legged best friend. Whether it be soaking up the sun at our favorite beach or poolside, scratching our backs on freshly mowed grass, or cuddling up watching Lady and the Tramp on the couch, our time together makes my day, everyday.

Alexus Kaltenberger
Pet Sitter/Dog Walker - Pet First Aid/CPR Certified
Hey there! My name is Alexus.
I was born and raised in Nebraska, and I moved to Vegas about 5 years ago. I love it here! Back in Nebraska, I was always surrounded by animals which grew into a passion for them that followed me into adulthood. I currently have 2 dogs- a great dane named Oliver, and a standard poodle named Otis. Our recent addition is the cutest kitty named Link, he’s still a bit unsure about the big dogs, LOL! You could say it’s a bit rowdy in this household but I wouldn’t want it any other way!
I can’t wait to meet and play with your babies, I will care for them as if they are my own!

Vivian Merritt
Pet Sitter/Dog Walker - Pet First Aid/CPR Certified
Hi, my name is Vivian! I grew up in North Dakota and have called Las Vegas home for the past five years. I’ve been lucky enough to care for tons of dogs and animals through pet sitting, volunteering, and working at a doggy daycare! What I love about working with animals is how each and every one has their own unique personality. I love taking the time to get to know them and building that special bond. At home, I have a quirky Poodle named Pepper who’s been with me since she was a puppy. When I’m not with your pets, I spend my free time hiking, scrapbooking, studying, and exploring new coffee shops. I can’t wait to meet your sweet fur babies and love on them like they’re my own!
