Safe, Loved, and Happy Pets!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! I am an insured pet care professional, safety is my first priority for every pet in my care, and then of course, to have fun! I strive to go out of my way to make sure you’re comfortable leaving your pet in my care. I always give multiple updates and send plenty of pictures throughout the stay! About Me Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine! I have owned many different kinds of pets for many years and have previously volunteered with a rescue as a dog foster. I am familiar with dogs that have behavioral issues and health issues, I plan to continue taking courses to further my education in dog behavior and first aid. I am a full time pet sitter who loves helping owners feel comfortable while they are away, knowing their pets are receiving the best care! I am very excited to get to know you and your pet, and learn about how to make them the most comfortable! No matter what breed or size, I will do my best to make your pet feel right at home with me! Why I Started Pet Sitting I have always loved animals, and I have always been interested in animal behavior. Before I started pet sitting, I studied positive training techniques, body language, and pet safety! Animal care will always be an interest of mine and I will continue to learn new techniques to offer the best care to all the pets I care for! About My Pets I have a dog named Riley, who is the sweetest dog and has never met a dog she didn’t like. I also have a goofball puppy named Morty, and an older girl named Xena, who loves to snooze all day. I have two kitties, Big Kitty and Lena. Big Kitty is almost 10 years old and Lena is 7. They are both lazy kitties who love to eat and snooze wherever they feel comfortable! Administrating Medication I have given medication to many dogs! Each dog that I had taken in while I fostered dogs with a rescue usually needed antibiotics and pain meds after a spay or neuter. I am also able to give injections! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs! 🐶🐱

River is absolutely fantastic. I have booked with them on several occasions and they are always punctual, courteous and informative. My dogs love going on walks with River and the treats they receive after. River is an excellent communicator, is quick to bring things to my attention when need be, and provides excellent updates. I 100% recommend their services!

River took great care of our dogs on an overnight visit. We have a little rescue dog that is afraid of everyone and takes years to warm up to people and she was coming close to River and not barking or scared in just ONE DAY!!! It was amazing to see in all the pics and videos! The other dogs instantly loved River’s kind and calming energy. We felt so good being away and know that our “kids” were in such capable hands.

Information River B. would like to know about your pet

If you don’t have time for a meet and greet, I am perfectly okay with that! A checklist of information to go over before your pups first stay is as follows: Any aggression towards dogs, cats, or people? How frequent of potty breaks? Feeding Schedule? Vet Information? Emergency contact? If booking for a walk, walking behavior? Anything I should know about their personality to help keep them safe? *Disclaimer* Photos of pets may be added to my business pages. If you would like to opt out, just let me know you don’t want your pup or kitty posted! You can follow my business page at PAWsitively Awesome Pet Care

A typical day

All walks provide is a time for your dog to get the stimulation they need! We will take our time to make sure your pup is showing proper walking behavior, as well as plenty of time to sniff! During drop-ins I can feed, play, and cuddle with your pet depending how on their needs!
