Highly experienced caregiver
Pet care experience
I have been one of the top dog sitters in NYC for almost a decade now, watching dogs big and small, quiet and yappy, young and old: no matter your dog’s personality, I bet you we will get along! I have lots of experience administering medicine and supporting dogs with separation anxiety. I also watched dogs at doggy daycare, so I can support healthy engagements and de-escalate unsafe behavior. If you have other pets that require attention (cats, fish, hamsters, you name it), just let me know. I grew up around everything from chinchillas to goats, so my love for animals is endless.

Rio helped us out in a tight spot over thanksgiving and was absolutely fantastic. Will work with her again.
Rio took such great care of Cashew! I have just as much separation anxiety as my dog does so it’s hard for me to leave him with anyone but Rio made sure to send me so many photos everyday and keep me updated on how he’s doing. She replied so quickly to all my messages! Cashew seems to really like her as well which is great and was comfortable in her home. I highly recommend Rio to watch your fur babies! I will definitely be one of her new repeat clients! Haha
Rio was a godsend for us during a recent trip. Between when we first reached out and the trip, Mooney’s care and meds schedule became much more complicated, and they rolled with it without batting an eye. Rio did an amazing job maintaining Mooney’s boundaries even though he put them to the test, keeping him entertained with limited exercise, and keeping us in the loop with pictures and thorough updates. Rio is by far the most professional and competent dog sitter we’ve worked with, and we feel so lucky to have connected with them.
Milo is the second pup I've had, yet working with Rio was the first time I have ever used a Pet Sitter. I was nervous to give pet sitting a try at first, but I could not be happier with how things went. Rio took amazing care of Milo (and my home), giving him tons of love, attention, and exercise. His time with Rio was filled with several new adventures and judging from the photos and his demeanor when I got home, he had an absolute ball. Rio was an excellent communicator and always kept me abreast of the goings on at home, which brought a huge sense of comfort to this single dog dad.

Safety, trust & environment
I spend the first couple days getting to know your dog's unique habits and behaviors in order to change my schedule or environment accordingly. I love to run and bike, so let me know if your dog needs extra exercise, and I can make that happen! If they like playing with other dogs, I can set up doggy play dates with my friends’ pups.

Information Rio P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any problems with other dogs or kids, so I can make sure everyone is safe during walks.
A typical day
We will take scenic strolls in the neighborhood, go on runs in the nearest park, and sunbathe on the porch. I love going on adventures, so if they are comfortable taking the subway, let me know and we can make a fun day with extra exercise!

Availability
I am a virtual life coach and model, so the majority of my work will be done from your home. This makes it easy for me to guarantee 3-4 walks each day. Occasionally, I may need to go to a casting or photoshoot, but I will always let you know in advance.
