Professional/Best Pet Care in Town!

Pet care experience

If you asked my mom when I was 6, she knew I’d own a barn full of animals. I’m traditionally trained in veterinary and biological sciences. I got a degree in it. I worked as a veterinary tech for 2 years. I’ve worked with animals-dogs,cats, bunnies, lizards, etc.- of all sizes for over 10 years with varying needs and diets. I have 2 sweet , healthy, loving pit bulls dogs of my own- one puppy and a senior (our golden girl). I’ll treat your dogs like my own with love, proper discipline, kindness and all their needs taken care of. And trust me I’ve handled it all. Anxious cat that needs reassurance and daily medications? Elderly dog with hip problems or recovering from surgery? A young pup who has to be played with every hour? I’m here for the job.

Rudi is my go-to catsitter and I know I can put my mind at ease when she's taking care of my cats. She's great at taking care of the cats, keeps me updated on how they are doing, and both cats always warm up to her right away.

We love Rudi!! Rudi took care of house, dog, and two cats during our 10 day honeymoon. Everyone was so happy when we returned and the house was pristine (prob better than we left it after the crazy wedding weekend). She sent tons of pictures and updates and we could tell everyone was happy, healthy, and enjoying hanging out with her. Rudi is our very favorite pet sitter and we’ll continue to use her for our travels. Highly highly recommend.

We were thrilled to have Rudi take care of our one dog and two cats again for some post holiday travel. As always she was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took excellent care of both our pets and house. She is our top choice for watching our pets and we highly recommend her!

Rudi is the best! Very thorough and communicative. Always leaves our home as we found it and sends loads of pics. 10/10 if you are looking for someone to trust with your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

All pets/fur babies are cared with love and kindness. During walks, dogs are properly leashes and properly redirected if needed. If pets get into a bit of mischief, I handle appropriately- whether it’s need a redirection, properly caged/time to calm down or simply some enrichments. I’m very alert and observing, I’ll know what behavior your might be displaying to signal what the best for them in the safest way possible.

Information Rudi W. would like to know about your pet

All pets are unique. Let me know the following about your pet: their needs, what they like or dislike, medications they take, walking and bathroom schedule, if they get along with other pets, aggression level, food aggression, favorite treats and anything that makes them feel comfortable and safe at all times.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. Enrichment for at least an hour is necessary for a happy and healthy pet whether it’s playtime, sun bathing, etc with treats! Walks are a must. All are adjusted based on your dog needs. I’ve worked with elderly and special needs dogs, so their routine and activities will look a bit different from other dogs. Also, I’ll send pictures and videos galore. Who doesn’t love a good pet video.

I’ve got plenty of time for all your fur babies needs. I’m a remote worker who has a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m very routine based; just like everything else I schedule it with ample time for surprises- our fur babies have a mind of their own lol
