Reiko can care for
Availability
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.

About Reiko G.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Reiko G. would like to know about your pet
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.)
A typical day
A typical day depends on each animal’s needs. Sometimes the day includes walking and feeding. Sometimes the day includes jogging or hill work and treats. Medication administration is not a problem.

Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
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.
