Love, Care, Wag!

Pet care experience

With a deep-rooted love for animals, I have honed my abilities through hands-on experience including with my own dog and continuous learning. One of my standout features is my proficiency in training puppies, ensuring not only their basic obedience but also fostering a positive and enriching environment for their development. From mastering the art of leash training to teaching essential commands, I prioritize creating a foundation for well-behaved and happy furry companions. In addition to my expertise in puppy training, I specialize in providing compassionate and tailored care for senior pets. Understanding the unique needs of aging animals, I am dedicated to creating a comfortable and supportive environment. Whether it's administering medication, implementing gentle exercise routines, or simply offering extra TLC, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of senior pets, ensuring they enjoy their golden years to the fullest. Furthermore, my commitment to excellence extends beyond a genuine love for pets. This commitment, coupled with a track record of satisfied clients, has earned me a reputation for delivering exceptional service. Your pets deserve nothing but the best, and I am here to provide just that. Trust me to go the extra mile in ensuring the happiness, health, and overall well-being of your furry family members. Join countless satisfied pet owners who have experienced the difference in choosing a sitter with a passion for excellence and a heart for animals.

Ixchel (Rhia), is such an amazing person and a responsible, hardworking pet owner. She has put a lot of work into the training of her own dog, Falcor who is just as amazing as his owner. This dynamic duo visited me recently and they were so respectful of my space. Falcor never jumps on furniture without an invitation and his social cues with other dogs is a pleasure to behold. He completely ignored my sister's yippy chihuahua mix and become fast friends with her elderly dog. Rhia always leaves a place better than she found it and she will love your fur baby as her own. Choosing Rhia is always the right choice.

Ixchel watched our dogs over a weekend and did an amazing job. She kept us updated on how they were doing while we were away. We definitely will be using her services again soon!

Caring for pets in your client's home involves a combination of personalized attention, adherence to routines, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. Here are some key aspects of how I approach pet care in your home: Meet and Greet: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I schedule a meet-and-greet to familiarize myself with your pets and discuss their specific needs, routines, and any special instructions. This ensures a smooth transition and builds trust between your pets and me. Routine Maintenance: I prioritize sticking to your pet's established routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any other daily rituals that contribute to their well-being and happiness. Exercise and Play: Engaging pets in regular exercise and play is crucial for their physical and mental health. Whether it's a brisk walk, play sessions, or interactive toys, I tailor activities to suit your pet's age, breed, and energy level. Feeding and Medication: I follow your instructions meticulously when it comes to feeding your pets. If any medications are required, I ensure timely administration, maintaining a detailed log to keep you informed of their health status. Comfort and Security: Creating a comfortable and secure environment is a priority. This includes ensuring they have access to their favorite spots, cozy bedding, and familiar toys. I also pay attention to their comfort levels during different weather conditions. Regular Updates: Communication is key. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep you informed about your pet's well-being. This helps alleviate any concerns you may have and keeps you connected with your furry friends while you're away. Home Care: Beyond pet care, I also take care of your home. This includes basic tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and maintaining an overall tidy environment. Emergency Preparedness: I am well-versed in handling unexpected situations. In case of emergencies, I have a plan in place and will contact you immediately to discuss the situation and take appropriate action. By combining a genuine love for animals with meticulous attention to detail, I ensure that your pets not only receive the care they need but also experience a stress-free and enjoyable time in the comfort of their own home.
