I'll care for your pets like my own
Pet care experience
Hello! I have 3 cats Rollo, Harry and Lloyd and a dog Maleficent. I grew up with cats, dogs and even ferrets. I have dog sat and walked dogs since I ws young and still love doing it. I worked at an animal hospital/ boarding facility and have a lot of experience caring for pets, all ages, sizes and energy levels. I work 7:30-4 monday through friday every week and am available most weekends. I can take one break to let them out during my work day if you would like. I can stay at your place or stop by and hang out as often as you would like! I have some experience dog training and am willing to help train your pet as well if that's what you want.
Reviews
Reta provided wonderful in-home care for our dog, giving him lots of love and attention while sending us pictures and updates every day. Her love of dogs and experience as a vet tech shine through in her interactions with our baby, and we would highly recommend her to anyone.
Reta is a very kind and reliable person. She has years of experience in animal care and training. She goes out of her way to make sure animals are provided for and all of their needs are met.
Reta would make a great dog caregiver given both her experience as well as her infinite love for them. Reta spent some time working at a hospital for animals; looking after dogs as well as aiding in their nutrition, clean-up, and occasionally assisting in a non-medical (holding/comforting/general extra hand) help when dogs needed shots and other treatments. This paired with her experience growing up with dogs as well as always visiting people with dogs has lead to many occasions of having to take care of them and has proven her responsibility around them. Beyond her experience in caring for them, Reta is completely enthralled with helping and loving dogs. Occasionally I have helped her dog-sit for her friends for a weekend or two when they go on vacation in the past, and I have to say I don't know how she remains so delighted to see them every time. After the first time where the two large dogs whipped me with their tails in not so great places and they love to pretend they're lap sized dogs and lay, drool, and trample on me/us, I was less than ecstatic to see them again, but not her. Reta continues to this day to get giddy at the idea of visiting said dogs as well as any dog she's ever had the pleasure of knowing. Reta's caring nature and infinite ability to be enamored by dogs would make her an excellent caregiver.
Reta was my shift manager at a local animal hospital. Not only was she a great coworker but an outstanding animal care taker. While working with Reta she taught me something new almost every day. I learned A LOT about animal behavior from her. In my training Reta was always showing me little ways I can go above and beyond for the animals on our grounds. Whether it was an extra blanket or simply sitting in the kennel with a sad pup who needed some company. At times our job was really hard and I would not have succeeded in my position if it weren’t for her. She was always a shining example of how to bring love into my job when most we’re pretty negative. I would 100% recommend Reta for any type of pet care because she actually cares. She has a huge heart and strives to share all the snuggles with all the pets!
