I work nights in the service industry so my schedule is fairly flexible with time given in advance. Daily check-ins, feedings or walks I am available daily until 4:00, if it is a work day. Pet sitting overnight or for extended stays, I would make proper arrangements.

Safety, trust & environment

If boarding, I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs at home. When staying over, all animals eat from different bowls, and are fed separate from fosters or guests. We work on our manners and listening, as well as walk and play. Crated by request. Dogs can be kept separate if needed. If checking in, we would have covered basics and expectations during our meet and greet. Your space and your home, I treat with the utmost respect. Enter quietly, greet the pet, and proceed with walks, feeding, etc. I ask that we lay out all required services, copies of pet vaccines, and emergency contact information ahead of time.

Information Reta J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special dietary needs or restrictions for your pet. We will cover expectations and information during our meet and greet.

A typical day

Whatever gets us outside-hiking, kayaking, bike riding, visits to the hardware stores. My boys at home love a good lazy day nap and snuggle, but we try to play both to expend energy as well as build trust and confidence. We do touch ups with training all the time. When a foster or guest is over, they are separated when not monitored.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Reta, and I look forward to meeting you and so many new animal friends. At home, we have our seven-year-old St. Bernard, Moose, and Tobi, an eight-year-old shepherd/husky/lab mix. Every now and then we have a foster or an overnight dog friend added to the mix. Volunteering with a dog rescue organization, I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds with different temperaments, needs, and skills. Services provided: dog socialization, check-ins, feeding, walks, play time, general needs, overnight stays at yours or mine. I am an animal lover. I’m the person at the party hanging out with the dog. To able to do that professionally is the dream. Allow me to put your mind at ease whether it’s walking, feeding, checking in on your pet, or an overnight while you’re away. I work evenings in the restaurant industry so my schedule is flexible given time ahead. Any questions, please ask away!

Reta took amazing care of my pets while I went on vacation. She made sure she followed all the directions I gave her. I would 100% use her again!

Reta took care of my 4 dogs, 2 cats, and bearded dragon for a week while I went on vacation. She did an amazing job. I even received daily photo updates on the animals. She followed all feeding directions perfectly. I would absolutely recommend using her!
