Compassionate friend to all beings

Pet care experience

I have loved animals all my life and have found so much joy in walking and dog sitting throughout the years. The most important thing to me is to treat any animal as a friend and loved one which has made a lasting impression on many furry friends and myself over the years. I'm not a dog whisperer by any means, but I am a dog friend and advocate for life. My dog is the light of my life and I treat other dogs with the same level of love and respect to maintain a mutual bond of trust and positive energy. Caring for and insuring the safety of another life is a heartfelt commitment and honor that I am passionate about creating and maintaining.

Rifqa was a tenant living in our house. She is the owner of an older, very sweet pitbull. We own an energetic shepherd/boarder collie mix that we rescued who just turned a year old, as well as a cat. Rifqa lived in our house for most of our dog's time with us. She helped take care of our dog and cat on a daily basis in addition to her own, as she was usually home while we were working. She kept up with feedings, taking them outside for walks or playtime, and providing lots of love and attention, even though these were not duties that we expected of her as a tenant. She also cared for our pets several times when we were out of town for week long trips and always kept our house well maintained. She was very paitient and helpful with our puppy as she was growing and learning. She supported our dog with potty training and breaking bad puppy habits like chewing and learning her boundaries. She also helped clean up many of her accidents. Rifqa is passionate about animals and nature. She is responsible, trustworthy, reliable and always follows through on commitments. She works well with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I would highly recommend her to be a caregiver for your dog(s).

Caring. Attentive. Patient. Rifqa is all of these and more when it comes to being a true parent and taking care of dogs. She is sensitive to the needs of the dog(s) under her care. She is great at teaching good behavior or tricks, and also reinforces positive behavior. Rifqa is alert for safety and avoids potential hazards or conflicts. She is incredibly loving toward her own and other canine friends. Her loving attentive care and patience are exactly what every dog parent knows those canine friend needs.

Rifqa was an amazing dog sitter/walker for our beloved Charlie. She took care of him when we first got him as a puppy and was so loving and caring. As new dog owners, she taught us so much as well. Charlie would lose his mind whenever Rifqa would come over, he loved spending time with her. We trusted her to care for our Charlie the way she did for her own puppy. We wished Rifqa still lived in our neighborhood! Any pet owner who allows Rifqa to care for their pet can rest assured that she will deliver excellent, loving care.

Information Rifqa A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any medical conditions or concerns. A brief description of your dog's temperament, i.e.. is it aggressive towards strangers or other dogs? Any fears they may have or behavioral tendencies towards an object or noise? Feeding/treats routine/preference? Are there any other pets in or outside of your home that I should be aware of? If you're going out of town, will there be anyone else accessing your home? (to avoid a surprise encounter that could result in someone overreacting or acting out of fear. I would want them to know there would be a walker/sitter coming to the home as well so they are aware.) I don't have a breed preference, but the heaviest I have experience with is about 90lbs, so nothing more than that.

A typical day

I LOVE nature walks and don't need an excuse to find myself on a trail somewhere. I would be glad to to take your fur baby for a stroll or a short hike beyond the same old neighborhood sidewalk! I can provide brain stimulating games in your home and engage your pup in some good ol' rope tugging and simple but fun games.
