I'm not just about dogs!
Pet care experience
I have an extreme amount of love for animals. They seem to be drawn to me just as much as I am them. I grew up with dogs, our family Lab and Dachshund, and our neighbors Golden Retrievers. As an adult I have had the honor of being mommy to a Golden Retriever. Over the years I have had experience walking/playing with/caring for a variety of dogs. In addition to the two I have mentioned, I have experience with Pugs, a Teacup Poodle, German Shepherds, Huskies, Rottweilers, Pittbulls, Corgis, etc. From very large to very small they are equally fun. I have experience administering oral medications but not with a needle, nor do I know CPR for dogs. I am, however, a quick learner and seek information that will better me for the situation. I never take chances with other dogs or people. Being observant and proactive are two of my strongest characteristics. Your furbaby's safety and happiness will always come first. I WILL DO DROP IN'S FOR YOUR OTHER PETS TOO!!! Cats, bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, birds, fish, etc. Please no snakes or tarantulas. Please contact me about the possibility of other pets.

Connie has been everything we could have wished for in a sitter! Both of our cats love her and she treats them so well. She’s very quick to respond to messages and if she’s available she’s worth booking!
Connie was great! Our dog loved her care and company. She even managed to take a picture of our skittish cat. Connie helped bring in a package for us and put it in the freezer while we were away. Our pets were well taken care of and we look forward to booking with her again!
Connie was wonderful. She provided loving care and timely visits. Thanks Connie!
Connie exceeded our expectations! She is a passionate pet caretaker and we could relax all weekend knowing that our kitties are in great care. We would definitely re-request her time :)

Safety, trust & environment
I always follow direction from my client. I keep a close eye on the babies to make sure that they stay out of harms way. In my own home, I take special care to keep anything harmful to animals out of reach.
Information Connie R. would like to know about your pet
All animals are special and deserve all the love you can give them. Before spending time with your fur baby I like to know their routines and if there are triggers to watch for and how the animal typically plays/relaxes throughout the day.
A typical day
When I walk a dog I always check out the area ahead of time to see where the best place is to walk. I prefer a park or neighborhood and try to say away from busy, noisy streets. Regardless of where I am picking up your dog I will figure out a place that is best suited to your baby and welcome your recommendations and preferences. I enjoy giving belly rubs and ear scratchies, playing fetch and tug of war. And snuggling is always a must!

I work part time and prefer to spend as much of my spare time as possible with fur babies. I like animals more than most humans I meet and find that spending time with them is the best therapy!
