Pet care experience
I’ve had pets ever since I could remember. I currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats. I even have experience raising a kitten since day one. I pet sit for my neighbors with pets ranging from small to larger breeds. I have experience giving insulin shots, oral medications, bathing, and walking pets as requested. I know how to clean and change cat boxes. I’m also able to clean fish tanks if you need the extra help! I enjoy being around different pets and working with them. I’m a new nurse, but find that caring for pets while their owners are away is my way of self care on my off days! I have a fenced yard for my animals to roam in as desired. When I’ve cared for others pet, I let them outside so they can relieve themselves as needed. I play and spend time with them as requested and even take them for a walk. My dogs tend to be attracted to mud so I have to bathe them quite often and I’m willing to do the same for yours! Since the weather is becoming nicer, I can bring your pets over to spend some time in the fresh air to stretch their legs and burn some energy!
Reviews
Highly recommend!! Rilen did some an amazing job with our babies. She treated them as her own. I never had to worry about them our entire trip. I loved her drop in reports where she provided updates and sweet photos. Thank you so much, Rilen.
Eilen was absolutely awesome. Even on short notice she was super responsive and took great care of my boys. Will 100% use her again!
House still standing despite Rex’s best efforts. Kindly brought in the mail after I forgot to put it on hold. Cats and dog in good spirits, even the grumpy old lady.
Amazing!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to be outdoors to enjoy the nice weather and allow the pet and I to gain trust with one another in a "neutral" area! This makes for an easier stay on both of us. I am able to crate them as the owner instructs. I am willing to also take them for a walk just to release any extra energy and so they can sniff!
Information Rilen M. would like to know about your pet
Are they aggressive towards other dogs seen while on the route? Are they runners or like to bolt suddenly when excited? Do they know any commands that will help the experience run smoothly?
A typical day
I like to ask if they have a favorite toy as this can be a comfort item since we are both unfamiliar with each other initially. I also like to ask how long they are able to walk for and the route typically taken so I can mimic this as if it was another normal day for the dog and have some familiarity! I have also found that taking them for a walk can help ease any anxiety they are experiencing while the owner is away.

Availability
I am a new nurse who is starting to work day shift (7a-7p). I will update my calendar periodically with available days based on my schedule with work. Depending on your pets needs and flexibility with times, I am offering to do drop-ins after I get off work. If there is a day that is marked as unavailable, but you are okay with a little time flexibility, go ahead and request the day(s) and we can discuss the care in need! As of right now I have months that are blocked off due to an unknown schedule. I update my calendar based on a 6 week scheduling period. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) **My fiancé, Mason, is also helping run this account and will be available from May 14-mid August at anytime to do drop-ins as well! He will have a break from school during this timeframe.
