Vet assistant work, Love animals!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a Grade A Dairy Farm in Kansas. We had pure bred German Shepherds and a Collie and a Blue Heeler to help guard and herd the Dairy Cattle. I have shown and won in 4-H Dog Obedience Classes and I also love cats so very much. I want all these amazing animals to get the best care and attention and love they need every day. I am available every day, at this time. I would love to assist on the weekdays, weekends and holidays, if I am available and free to do so. I rent from a friend in the country who has 6 acres. We have 2 dogs, 4 cats, many chickens, two sweet ducks. I help with feeding and grooming all animals and all creatures here get top grade healthy food each day, clean water, and I mind the litter boxes for the cats and help with watching the dogs outside and inside - especially when my friend is out of town on business. I brush the dogs, make sure they have clean water accessible inside and outside, go on walks up and down the long lane we have here on the farm, throw tennis balls for them and sticks to fetch. The big collie likes to sleep in a big doggie bed in my room, particularly when there are big storms. The border collie is the other canine here, and she will go on walks with me on the farm. They are both well behaved and they are "family." I am also an enthusiastic cat lover. Two of the cats here sleep with me every night, as well. I've had several cats of my own that were all indoor cats, and sadly they have all passed on, but I adored each and every one of them.

Rita was amazing and over communicated the stay with my babies which I am extremely thankful for. She sent tons of pictures and she made my trip easy and stress free knowing my babies were taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!

Rita watched my 3 dogs all girls, one w medicine daily routine. She did awesome w my pups and sent updates through the day so I never did have to wonder how my pups were doing. My home is as clean or cleaner than it was before we went away. Very professional, trustworthy and honest. Thank you!

Rita was great with Jack. He had been sad because we just lost Jill. She made sure to keep him engaged and occupied. She has always gone above and beyond

The dogs and cats here on the farm are all indoor/outdoor pets. They are all fed high quality pet food and get lots of exercise on the farm. Two of the cats almost always sleep with me in my room, and I love them very much.

Information Rita R. would like to know about your pet

Please indicate any allergies, or special needs your pet(s) has so I may be mindful of those. Also, any activities your pet(s) especially enjoys. Also, whether or not they have any obedience training and if they are friendly with other dogs and cats or if they are more of a "one-human" pet.

A typical day

I regularly walk on the beautiful Greenway Trails throughout Murfreesboro and there is a specific stretch that all the friendly dog owners use that is very close to my residence. I can safely take the dogs on leash on these beautiful trails, or anywhere you choose that is most comfortable for you. I can play fetch and frisbee with them and brush them, as well. :)
