Ri did great on 2 walks with Sophie! This was our first visit with Ri. Ri kept me informed of the walks and followed Sophie’s routine. Sophie was happy when I saw her which is always a good sign! Will definitely use Ri’s services again!

About: I have significant experience caring for animals, including both dogs and cats. I have previously worked as a pet sitter, where I was responsible for ensuring pets were properly fed, exercised, and well cared for. I also had my own dog for about seven years before he passed away, which gave me long-term, hands-on experience in responsible pet ownership. I genuinely love animals and always make it a priority to ensure that the dogs and cats in my care are healthy, safe, and emotionally supported. I typically have open availability after work on Fridays and throughout the weekends. In addition to my strong caregiving abilities, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and be present when they want to play or go outside. During the week, I work in the mornings; however, I am available Monday through Friday in the afternoons. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. My older daughter is home during the mornings and will be assisting me with caring for the dogs or cats during that time to ensure they continue receiving attentive and reliable care. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and play. Whenever they would like to go outside, I will gladly take them for a walk, to a nearby park, or allow them to play in the backyard or front yard under my supervision. They are also welcome to relax and move freely around the house. I will always be attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’ve helped care for my family’s dog for the past 11 years, raising him from an energetic puppy to the senior dog he is today. Friends and family members often trust me to watch their pets when they travel, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. As an outdoor enthusiast, I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. When your pet is with me, you can trust that they will be treated with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own! I have a very flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I am able to adjust to you and your pet’s needs and routines! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow care instructions carefully, and will do my best to ensure they are secure and well cared for at all times, all while having a bit of fun!

Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.
