Availability
I am a nurse who works day shift (7a-7p). I will update my calendar periodically with available days based on my schedule with work. Depending on your pets needs and flexibility with times, I am offering to do drop-ins before I head into work. If there is a day that is marked as unavailable, but you are okay with a little time flexibility, go ahead and request the day(s) and we can discuss the care in need! As of right now I have months that are blocked off due to an unknown schedule. I update my calendar based on a 6 week scheduling period. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

About Rilen M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to be outdoors to enjoy the nice weather and allow the pet and I to gain trust with one another in a "neutral" area! This makes for an easier stay on both of us. I am able to crate them as the owner instructs. I am willing to also take them for a walk just to release any extra energy and so they can sniff!
Information Rilen M. would like to know about your pet
Are they aggressive towards other dogs seen while on the route? Are they runners or like to bolt suddenly when excited? Do they know any commands that will help the experience run smoothly?
A typical day
I like to ask if they have a favorite toy as this can be a comfort item since we are both unfamiliar with each other initially. I also like to ask how long they are able to walk for and the route typically taken so I can mimic this as if it was another normal day for the dog and have some familiarity! I have also found that taking them for a walk can help ease any anxiety they are experiencing while the owner is away.

Pet care experience
I’ve had pets ever since I could remember. I currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats. I even have experience raising a kitten since day one. I pet sit for my neighbors with pets ranging from small to larger breeds. I have experience giving insulin shots, oral medications, bathing, and walking pets as requested. I know how to clean and change cat boxes. I’m also able to clean fish tanks if you need the extra help! I enjoy being around different pets and working with them. I’m a new nurse, but find that caring for pets while their owners are away is my way of self care on my off days! I have a fenced yard for my animals to roam in as desired. When I’ve cared for others pet, I let them outside so they can relieve themselves as needed. I play and spend time with them as requested and even take them for a walk. My dogs tend to be attracted to mud so I have to bathe them quite often and I’m willing to do the same for yours! Since the weather is becoming nicer, I can bring your pets over to spend some time in the fresh air to stretch their legs and burn some energy!
Reviews
Rilen is awesome with our 14-year-old foxhound mix, Sophia. She makes every trip so much easier knowing Sophia is in good hands. We never have to worry and can just enjoy being away. She also keeps in great communication and sends photos each visit, which really helps put us at ease. We really appreciate the care. Thank you!
Our flight came in late, and since they close at noon on Saturdays, we weren’t able to make it in time. She was incredibly accommodating and made sure our dogs were still safely taken care of for boarding. She was also so patient with my loud, barky dog, which I really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend!
We are so grateful for the exceptional care Rilen provided. The frequent updates and photos allowed us to feel completely confident and relaxed while we were away. Thank you for taking great of our Sophia. Thank you, Rilen.
Rilen was prompt and very sweet to my cat. She did an amazing job and I highly recommend her services.
