Love Empathy & Care

Pet care experience

***I am still operating under the current Covid 19 conditions and guidelines. I wear masks around all my clients during pickup and drop off as well as meet and greets and whenever out In public. I am diligent about washing/sanitizing my hands when coming home. Your health and safety is important to me. I am willing to work with whatever your needs may be. I grew up around a lot of animals. Dogs, and cats were always close to me and I had dreamed at a young age of working with animals and helping them. I am strong and dominant with dogs when I need to be but also incredibly sociable and relatable to them. I love to play with dogs and get on their level. I currently live with a dog and a cat and I take care of them whenever my roomate is out of town, which is often. I have experience training and caring for puppies as well.

I had a last minute, short day care request that River was able to accommodate. Best experience me and my dog Otis have had on Rover. They were absolutely wonderful! Sent lots of updates and got along so well with Otis.

River is my first choice for pet care. I've utilized him multiple times, and will continue to do so. He updates me with photos and check-ins. Has administered medicines, kept on feeding regiments and shows love and compassion towards all of the animals. Ive left him in care of my cat and dogs and all at the same time. I highly recommend him.

You just have to see River interact with your furry friend one time to see why he is prefect for the job. The empathy he feels for animals is self evident. Every time I walk into a room with him with an animal present, the animal always gets his full attention first. River is highly responsible and he operates by a very strict moral code. I couldn't think of a better person to leave in charge of the treasure that is your pet. He will follow you care instructions to the T and create a beautiful bond with your pet.

I live right in the middle of the city, a 5 minute walk from the stratosphere which makes it easy and convenient for boarding pets at my house, especially for visitors from out of town. I am less than a mile off the strip. There is a dog park close to my house as well. I have a totally enclosed larger back yard with a dog door. A larger open style house for roaming and playing indoors as well. Multiple roommates that are all great people and animal lovers. We have 1 amazingly behaved and trained middle aged dog and 1 older sweet cat. It’s a totally animal friendly house full of great people. The dog Lola is a very sweet and slightly timid Shepherd mixed girl. She is a GREAT example for younger dogs, she has helped other puppies and younger dogs learn good obedience skills. She is extremely friendly and a very calm energy.

Information River R. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special needs or dislikes from your pet please let me know. I am happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to communicate with me, I am very open and understanding.

A typical day

I’m home all day so your friend will never feel alone or neglected. Since there is another dog in the house and the house is an open space floor plan, all day will be like playtime in a temperature regulated climate. There are dog parks near my house that I go to as well and my neighborhood is very friendly and full of dogs being walked in the evening when the ground cools off. I love taking dogs hiking near red rock and mt. Charleston as well so that is an option if you are comfortable with it. If your dog is a swimmer, even better we have a pool!
