“I really like Rita and so does Junior. He's a much bigger and different dog from when she saw Junior in August. He's a growing puppy. Overall she was great.”
About: I’ve had animals and taken care of animals my entire life. Anywhere from 5 cats all named Blacky growing up to a cow named curly Q, I’ve taken care and loved them all. I currently have 3 fur babies and they run my world. They give me purpose every day, and fill my heart up of joy just by breathing. I know the importance of taking care of animals just like their your own because they are members of our family. I will treat every animal as if they are my own and give them cuddles, play fetch, or rub their belly as much as needed. I recognize that animals all have different personalities and that a need to cater to them and alter your lifestyle around them and always do what makes them happy. I’m currently working part time and have a lot of free time to care for your pups or cats or any other animals you may own! I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs that love to play with other dogs! I have plenty of treats and toys for the pups as well!
“Great attitude and very accommodating. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”
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 Tuesday-Wednesday from 6:15am-7:30pm at the hospital here in Ruidoso and Friday-Sunday at a golf course in town from 9am-5pm. I would be available on the weekdays that I work after 7pm for any drop ins or walks, and weekends are dependent on how busy it is on the course. I am available for any other service any day of the week, and am able to do potty breaks twice a day and can let them have their free time after work on week days. 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!
