Safety, trust & environment

Im always looking to make sure they have my trust and make sure theyre well taken care of by providing clean water and fresh food. When we go walking I observe the territory making sure its safe to walk and go by special instructions if there is any left by owner.

Information Rita M. would like to know about your pet

Does he or she get along with other dogs, sociable? What scares your dog? What treats does it he/she like? Are they allowed on furniture? Do they have fleas?

A typical day

Let them run around or we go on walks somewhere near the establishment. I give back, neck and belly rubs/scratches if they let me. We will play w toys and I leave the tv or radio on before my departure and hide treats for them to find.

Pets

Dogs have love and feelings too!

Pet care experience

I will go by you and your dogs' schedule and try not to spoil them too much. I moved out to Ruidoso 5 years ago and now have 4 dogs instead of 1 and also have a daughter now whom is less than a yr old. My dogs are kennel trained and very protective. Ive had many clients to sit for who live in the area and also have vacationed here in Ruidoso. I start w a quick visitation, then let them go potty and do their thing while I take photos of them enjoying their time. I then take them inside to provide clean fresh water and food and always turn on the tv or radio before my departure. Before my exit I always spend time playing and give back/neck massages and back/butt /neck scratches if they let me. Hey every doggy and cat deserves a spa treatment on their vacay too!❤️ Before I leave I like to hide treats around the main areas of the house/place, it gives them something to do to cure boredom.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
