About: Hi there! Pet lover of all types here 👋❤️ My own diverse animal family includes a chihuahua, a cat, a green cheek conure, and backyard ducks. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, and some more exotic animals–just ask! As an added bonus, I offer a complimentary service to ensure your pet returns home refreshed! Dogs who enjoy bathing will receive a complimentary bath. For cats and dogs who prefer or require it (such as long-haired breeds or those who dislike baths), I will still provide a complimentary brushing session! As an online master's student and stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate pletentiful time and attention to your pet's needs. My days are structured to accommodate frequent check-ins, playtime, walks, and feeding schedules–ensuring your pet receives consistent care and companionship. My home provides a comfortable and stimulating environment for your pet. I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy plenty of playtime and exercise. I also live in a friendly neighborhood with safe and scenic walking routes. My own friendly chihuahua provides companionship, but he can also be crated for dogs who prefer their own space or need to be separated. I am very aware of dog dynamics, and will keep all dogs safe and happy. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, playtime preferences, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!

“I needed a drop in cat sitter as I can’t board one of them (vet says no more vaccines for him). Riley lived close and had a good review. I actually didn’t get to meet her and communicated by texts and notes. Was a little worried about having a stranger in my home but everything is fine and the cats seem to have been well cared for. Will use again if available next time I travel.”
