Just call me, Rosie the Ruffiter!

Pet care experience

Update: I have a one year old daughter who will have to be present during sittings so please only send requests if your furry friend is able to be around children! Also, if you are requesting a house sitting service please be aware that my boyfriend may have to be present during the stay as well. He has been present for many of my previous sittings, both would be present during the meet and greet :) What sets me apart from others? I am a dance/movement therapist in my professional life. I take care of mental health populations during the day and if chosen by you, take care of your furry best friend in the evening (get it?). I have never had a pet of my own due to the “get up and move” nature of my childhood , a dog was always at the top of my list. Today, I’d toss a hairless cat, some sharks and a parrot into the mix... but that’s another story for another time. I love traveling (and would make it a part time career if I could). Traveling solo for 365 days actually brought alive my passion for animals when I lived in India, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. My favorite part of the day would be waking up, walking outdoors and being greeted by stray pups and (even a cow) that I grew fond of. Even at my bartending job, we had Canella our tavern pup who loved bbq wing bones and a good behind the ear scratch. My longest running pet care experience has been taking care of an elderly cat (excuse me, diva), with special needs (this will be my third year). I’ve had experience facilitating strict schedules, meal plans, medication needs and observation assessments (if your best friend requires extra attention). I am also able to take care of plants and provide other general house care needs including cooking and light cleaning (for extended stays). I look forward to meet you and your furry friend soon!

I have three rowdy dog kids and Rosie handled them gracefully. By the end of the visit, they were following her around like little shadows. My dogs loved her and I appreciate her taking the job!

Rosie was wonderful! She watched our dog for a weekend, was responsive, and took great care of Ralph. He seemed calm and happy when we got home! We would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Ralph with Rosie anytime.

My dog was happy and tired when we got home from our trip. Rosie did a great job with her, and even left the apartment super clean when she was done.

Rosie watched our cat over a long-weekend and went above and beyond - she was great. During the meet and greet, she was attentive and asked lots of questions. During the house-sitting, she kept us updated with pictures along with any questions she had, and was extremely quick to respond. We definitely recommend Rosie!

Information Rosie M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what their personality is. I feel this is the most important aspect for me since each pup has their own quirks and triggers! Do they need time to warm up to new faces? Are they crate trained? Are they friendly with other animals? Do they have any physical considerations? I do not have specific breed preferences, but I have a fond love for all bulldogs, pugs and dachshunds!

A typical day

I feel that this question is dependent on the resources available in your community. I am open to visiting a favorite park or adventuring to find new places. I love walking (as a personal hobby) and I actually prefer walking for long periods of time. Therefore if your best friend needs longer walks, I can provide that service. Nature is the most important aspect for me, so I will provide as much opportunity to be outdoors as necessary.
