Ralinda can care for
Availability
I am currently working for a university so am not available most weekdays until after 5, but give me a try for weekdays that fall on major holidays, such as Labor Day, the week around Thanksgiving and December 23rd thru January 2nd. Friday evening until Sunday still will work well for me or if you need evening care for your cat or dog. Depending on the location, I MIGHT be able to accommodate a visit before work, but not during midday. So for a three visit a day request during the week, the 2nd visit would be after work, so around 5ish.

Safety, trust & environment
On a visit, I will typically take dog babies outside at the beginning and end of each visit. For "Dog walks" they are walked close to the full requested time if the dog is tolerating the weather (heat and/or rain). The in between time for "visits" is spent playing, for those that like to play, or for the seniors or those that don't enjoy chasing a toy or playing tug of war, they get plenty of pets. I let your pet or pets guide our activities.
Information Ralinda R. would like to know about your pet
Right now my husband works from home and I am gone during the day so no watching animals in our home. We also have grandpuppies here during holidays so we would already have 4 dogs in the home.
A typical day
On walks, I try to pick paths that have some shade if it is hot. I throw toys for them to chase or try to give cats a moving toy or laser to pounce on. I try various toys they have in the home to try to find what they enjoy. I try to get some pictures of them playing but sometimes it's more like a blur!

Pet care experience
I've owned at least one dog since I was 9 and helped my daughter with her pet sitting business in the neighborhood as she was growing up and have had Rover clients since 2019. The important thing is to read their body language, let them get to know you at their pace, and empathize with how much they need human interaction when their "mom" or "dad" has a long day or is away. I enjoy all their unique personalities! My husband works from home and I am gone during the day so unfortunately I won't be able to accommodate pets coming to my home at this time. There are currently 3 small dogs in the house.
Reviews
Ralinda was amazing with my babies. Our Doberman os really shy around strangers and she got him to play with her some. We are so glad she was able to come care for them!! We will definitely be returning customers for our out of town needs.
Ralinda is very descriptive when she visits our pets and always gives plenty of updates with photos! She makes sure to always give them love and play with them for a little bit on top of following our care instructions . She’s very attentive and even our more shy kitty has slowly warmed up to her.
Ralinda if always dedicated and concerned about the welfare of our cats. She always let's us know how they are, sends photos and makes sure they are doing well. We trust Ralinda and know she takes good care of our cats and our home while we are away!
Ralinda is always reliable, flexible and willing to do whatever is needed to take care of our cats! She makes sure they get good quality interactive play, good food and a clean litterbox each visit. We highly recommend Ralinda for your pet sitting needs!
