Pet Sitting in Raton

About: What sets me apart is the way I care for pets like they’re my own—calm, consistent, and detail-oriented. I don’t just “watch” your pets; I follow your routine closely and focus on keeping them comfortable, mentally engaged, and safe. **Special skills I offer:** - **Puppy support & basic training**: positive reinforcement for potty routines, leash manners, crate comfort, and simple cues like sit/stay/come. - **Senior pet care**: gentle handling, slower-paced walks, mobility accommodations, and extra patience for vision/hearing changes. - **Medication & routine support**: I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including schedules, feeding routines, and home notes. - **Comfort-first approach**: I pay attention to stress signals and adjust quickly so pets feel secure and settled. You’ll also receive **reliable updates** (photos, notes, and check-ins), so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, caring hands. I schedule pet visits around my workday—morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening care—ensuring consistent routines, updates, flexibility for emergencies on weekends and holidays when needed. Keeping pets in their home allows routine; in your home, I add enrichment—puzzle toys, sniff walks, training games, play, and calm cuddles—plus updates and safety checks.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life and I understand how special our pets are to us. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals- dogs, cats, goats, horses, you name it! I can provide a home away from home for your dogs while you are away, keep them in your home, or do drop in visits/ walks! I provide my dogs, Raki and Dolly, the best life I can imagine! We spend lots of time outdoors, but give them a loving home on our days off. My schedule during the week is usually very flexible! I’m available most weekends, but prefer an adequate amount of notice! I can mend my schedule to meet you and your pets’ needs! I live in a rural neighborhood and have a large fenced in yard. I usually let my dogs out every 2-3 hours unless they let me know otherwise! I pride myself in leaving your home just as clean or cleaner than when you left!

About: I've cared for and trained dogs and cats an my life, including those with special needs. Family, neighbors, friends, and acquaintances have been able to rely on me for many services including trips to the vet. I'm available with a flexible schedule, there's no hard and fast limit to what I can accept at the moment. I'll need advanced notice, especially for travel. My home is unavailable but I'm willing to work in other homes while maintaining cleanliness and safety. I'm available for a variety of services. It's all about building rapport with the animals in my care and environment. Engaging with the energy and behavior becomes unique communication with each animal.
