Weekend Woofs and Wags with Rio!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Rio! I have two beautiful male Husky St. Bernard mixes named Malaki (6) and Milo (3) who are my entire world! They have strong personalities that will make you laugh until you cry, but most of all they have huge hearts that make it impossible for you not to fall in love with them. Malaki and I went through a k9 training (basic commands) when he was 6 months old, and I was able to maintain those skillsets in order to train Milo a bit. Milo is mixed with Siberian and Tamaskan Husky, so he has a more wild heart and decides when he is going to listen lol! :) While I am not certified in dog training, I can help with some basic commands like Sit or Paw. I grew up around my family dog, Raven, who lived until she was 15. I love and miss her everyday, because she was my best friend from the age of 9 to 24. She taught me unconditional love, and what it means to be there for someone no matter what! While these 3 pups have all been apart of my family, I have experience with other dogs too. I used to dog and cat sit for a lot of neighbors, friends, and work colleagues! As any dog lover knows, dogs are better than people and I still don't know what we did to deserve them! With that being said, it is crucial that your best friend is happy, safe, and healthy while you are away. I would ensure this by providing your dog with adventurous walks, warm cuddles, lots of tail wags, and happy woofs! Whether you are going out of town for work or a weekend getaway, I know your dog will be happy hanging with me for the weekend and I can send pictures while you're away to prove it! :)
Reviews
Rio was really good in communicating expectations and the dogs seemed to have a grand ol’ time. She was house sitting, and the house is in great condition as well. Great caretaker of your pups. P.S. takes beautiful photos of your pups. #teachusyoursecret
Rio is great with dogs. She loves her two huskies so much and wouldn't let anything happen to them. She treats them just like her babies and would do the same for any animal that she takes care of. She has pride in the way she raises them and cares for them and I know she would do the same for other animals that are in her care.
Rio is fantastic with dogs, and knows how to make sure their needs are taken care of. Could not recommend her enough for the job!

Safety, trust & environment
I would care for pets in your home by what you request! Dogs are built on routine, so I would not want to interfere with what they are used to. This can help increase their comfort levels while you are away!
Information Rio M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know accommodations your pet may need. This can include behaviors (things he/she does not enjoy), needed medications, food allergies/intolerances, other dogs while walking, hard to walk up stairs, pulls on the leash, etc. The more I know, the more I will be able to keep your dog happy and safe, no accommodation is to big!
A typical day
Fun activities with your pet will include adventurous walks or runs, playing tug-a-war, hide-and-seek, fetch, or just cuddling on the couch with a few yummy treats!
