I am such a dog/animal lover!

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. 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 2 small dogs in the house.

Ralinda has cared for our cats before and done a great job. On each visit she sends us updates and photos of what our three crazy cats are up to. She works hard to make sure they eat their dry food, and wet food, get medications and get some quality time with her. We recommend Ralinda highly and will use her again!

Ralinda is a wonderful cat sitter. She worked so hard to make sure our cat Rowan got his meds each day. She does interactive play with the boys and makes sure they get time each day to enjoy some time in the screened lanai. We trust her with our pets and our home.

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!

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, Wednesday thru Sunday 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.
