Highlights
Pet care experience
FLD Happy Tails
Getting back to business as my daughter is a freshman in college. Now located in Great Falls. Extensive personal experience with senior dogs, both my own and other’s pets. I now have two senior horses (off-site) and another blue Aussie cattle dog rescue, Bluey. * Lots of one-on-one time as I do not work 9-5 weekdays or weekends * Ample floor time to include hugs, rubs, wrestling, massage, comfort as needed! Red light therapy for inflammation and magnetic wave therapy available for nominal additional fee * Proceeds support my two older horses!

Safety, trust & environment
I have always loved animals (horses, dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, skunks, birds, even worms) and enjoy establishing trust and joy once they get to know me!
Ratings and reviews
Reiko did great with our two dogs. She clearly loves animals and is very detailed oriented. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dogs with her again!
I felt wonderful about leaving Jazzy, my 12.5 year old golden, with Reiko. She is so kind and thoughtful, sent me photos every day, worried about her scratching, recommended vets (we are new to the area). What a great experience for Jazzy and for me! I am delighted and return again.
I loved Reiko, and so did my dogs. She is very caring and knowledgeable about animals. She is also very personable to work with. I will definitely be boarding my boys with her in the future and can highly recommend her to care for your dog.
I have an elderly Shepard-mix that is 15 years old. I chose Reiko because of her experience caring for elderly dogs and I am so happy I did. Reiko cared for my girl as if she was her own. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to watch over their pet. Price was higher than most, but in this case, given my concern over watching a 'special needs' animal, it was worth every penny! Thanks Reiko (and Dog Vacay)!
It was our first time being away from our dog, but Reiko took excellent care of him and treated him like family. She sent me photos and updates and I felt very much at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely have Bauer stay with her again and I highly recommend her. Thanks!

Schedule
I am available most weekdays, usually after 9 (regular client at 8:30) through 5-6pm. I typically spend 30-40 minutes ($30) with your dog, whether it’s walking, playing, throwing a ball, massage, PT for post-ops, whatever she/he enjoys. I can also spend an hour ($50) doing the same types of activities. I have a no phone policy when I’m with my clients (unless it’s to take a pic!). I am also comfortable administering medication and injections and have experience doing so. I am also comfortable with senior dogs who might need to go out more often and/or might need a sling to go up and down steps to go outside.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsReiko can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I am comfortable with special needs animals. One of my long term clients was blind and deaf but she could feel vibrations and would bark her head off when anyone approached the front door. I still miss her spunk and remember how protective she was even when she couldn’t see or hear. We spent many days sitting together, just enjoying each other’s company outside. I used to sit solely for senior dogs because they have distinctive needs: lots of outdoor potty breaks, lots of clean up afterwards on their behinds, help going up and down stairs, navigating in general, multiple night trips outside, etc. I am experienced with giving meds as well as sub-dermal and intra-muscular injections (diabetic dogs, etc.)
- These prices are for 1 dog.
