Hi, I am Riss.
I am an experienced pet sitter & trained vet nurse. I have the skill & experience to manage special needs / care kids if required. I am also experienced in doggy massage which is great for the oldies in need of some special care.
Before becoming a vet nurse many years ago I was a kennel hand and dog groomer at a kennel, so I can give you pup a hair cut as well.
**Please note that I require pets to be up to date with vaccinations and pest control before they will be able to stay**
I live alone, with secure fencing around the whole property.
I love having fur babies around. I have 2 female black pugs that happy and comfortable with big dogs, small dogs, old or young who is very chilled.
I am opening my house to sitting as I enjoying helping others to have a great holiday knowing their fur babies are in a safe & happy place while you are away. Kennels are often very loud stressful places and often pets don't get the one on one attention they need, though the staff try it's hard in busy periods there r just too many kids for less staff. I have first-hand experience and I have worked in kennels when I was much younger. So I my home I ensure everyone gets as much of my time & love.
We walk daily up to 1hr (depending on the dog) and play with toys etc to ensure everyone has a good time.
Guest pets will sleep inside at night and have access to come and go outside as they please. I have lots of dog beds n a comfy lounge that is big enough to hold a few of us at once ahaha (as seen in some of my pic)
I don't have any kids and few others guest that visit. Pets will be cared for as one of my own (so spoiled rotten).
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Riss was fantastic and Ollie had a great time. The dogs have the run of the place and Riss is really caring. Even better she donates profits to an animal shelter. Highly recommended.
Riss was great. She was alert to the possible problems of having an 11 year old, and a 6 month old, dogs interacting with other dogs and a cat, and mitigated the risks. She coped with their wildly different personality types and made sure they were both comfrotable, well caterd for, and felt secure. I was very grateful to have her ex vet nurse expertise as well as dog-loving human caring looking after my two canine companions.
