Ria is my daughter, so I’m not exactly an unbiased referral; that said, I can speak to the fact that she has always loved animals. From the first moment she could crawl, she was crawling toward a dog! When we go on a walk, if there is a cat or dog, we have to stop and say hi. If we visit a friend who has a pet, Ria Spends more time with the pet than the friend. We were foster parents for the Humane Society for most of her childhood and she also volunteered there, plus she has always been a dog sitter for all of our friends, so she has experience with a wide range of animals and situations. But the bottom line is she will love your dog more than anyone you’ve ever met-and your dog will love her!
