Love to walk, work in all weather!
Pet care experience
I am a certified Veterinary Assistant also going to school for my associates degree in Veterinary Healthcare from BCC, where I am also involved closely in the Veterinary Health Care Club. I have been dog walking/sitting for about fifteen years, working with livestock for about 4 years, and have owned and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. My schedule is very flexible and I work in all weather conditions so long as I can travel safely. I am comfortable with all dog breeds as well as: Cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, other small animals, chickens, goats, horses, fish, and more!! Just ask! I am an active person so I will enjoy walking and playing with your animals and I don't mind necessary farm chores. I care for each animal as if it’s my own and that includes notifying you if I feel there are any health or safety concerns for your animals that need to be addressed. As a trained and certified animal professional I have an obligation to the animal first.
Reviews
C.j. Was extremely sweet. She sent me constant updates and photos. Her set up was exactly what we needed for our boy who didn’t have much experience with other animals. She was very easy to work with and also very thoughtful and considerate. She even went out and bought him a jacket when he seemed to be having issues adjusting to the cold. Would absolutely book with her again!
C.J. was fantastic with our dog Milo! You can tell she is a true animal lover and is very interested in getting to know your pet and their likes and dislikes. I received frequent updates/pictures notifying me of how he was settling in and this made relaxing on vacation so much easier. She treated my dog just like he was part of her family and that was comforting. She was easy to communicate with and replied to me almost immediately. I would definitely recommend her pet sitting services.
C.J is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog several times, both at my house and also at her house, and he loves her! She's attentive, sweet, and reliable and obviously an animal lover! You will never regret asking CJ to watch your animals! She is my go-to for any animal care I may need!
C.J. was amazing with my dogs. She sent photos showing my two having a ball, and made me feel completely at ease with being away from them. Cannot recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
In order to best care for your animals, I require an initial meet and greet to go over they way you do things, feeding routine, where things are, how to access the property, etc. This also allows me to meet the animals and get a sense of whether that animal, or those animals, and I will work well together. I also have a form that I send to all clients to keep on file with all care instructions, vaccinations, contact information, etc.

Information C.j. R. would like to know about your pet
A meet and greet is required to go over things like a history of aggression, whether animals are up to date on vaccines, dietary restrictions, allergies, health conditions, medication needed. As well as commands and hand gestures the animals know and respond to as well and any other little quirks that I may encounter.
A typical day
I love going for walks just about as much as your dogs! Playing with and hanging out with animals has always been something I've loved. Whether you have a bird that loves to bop to music with me, or a cat who goes nuts for a laser pointer, I'm happy to enrich your animals during my visit. This includes livestock! I often sing to the flocks of chickens I care for, and am happy to take your horse for a walk (I do not ride at this time though).
