“Rita did a great job. She met up with us early to meet the kitties. We had an alarm malfunction , but she handled it like a champ. She kept good records of each visit and it was great seeing the kitties when we couldn’t be there. She went above and beyond in her duties.”
“Logan is awesome, she was able to be booked on short notice and she definitely was a big help to me when I had to go out of town. She responds very quickly and always updated me on how my animals were doing. I will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!”
About: I have always been a pet lover, and my entire life I have had all sorts of animals ranging from dogs to cattle. I do have experience working at a vet clinic taking care of dogs and cats who have boarded, and I loved the experience! My current fur family consists of a 12 year old toy poodle, an 8 year old miniature poodle/bichon frise mix, and my newest rescue who is a 13 year old Shih Tzu. Each fur baby definitely has their own attitude that makes them perfectly unique and I honestly couldn’t ask for better, I love them all unconditionally! I go above and beyond to take care of my sweet, spoiled babies and I can promise you I would do the same for yours! I have never met an animal that I haven’t completely fallen head over heels for instantly, so I promise you I will make an impact! I currently work overnight Thursday-Saturday from 7:00pm-7:00am at the hospital here in Ruidoso. I would be available on the days that I am not working for any services, and on the days I am working I could do a drop in or walk after 4pm and after 7am the next morning. For an additional price I am also able to do nail trims and baths during their visits if requested. I have a fenced in yard, as well as multiple sweet dogs who are dog friendly, so your fur babies can make friends! I’ve also got loads of toys for them to play with!
