Pet care experience

Home from home care and love

I am a great pet sitter because I have been around dogs and cats my entire life, giving me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. My love for animals goes beyond just taking care of them; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. With years of experience, I know how to handle different situations, from keeping pets entertained to addressing any health or behavioral concerns. I am attentive, caring, and dedicated to providing pets with the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away.

Ria always takes such good care of our Joey, he loves how much playtime and cuddles she provides, and I always trust her in our home. Will always come back to Ria’s services whenever we can, fully recommend to anyone! P.s and she took care of my plant babies so bonus points for that!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 31, 2025

Ria was great with my pup. She was flexible with timings and was so patient as Bambi can be wary of strangers to start with. She kept me updated as it was the first time leaving her with someone, and would definitely do it again as I know Bambi had a fab time.

Ria was lovely with our Joey, was very reassuring and always sending updates and lots of photos. I felt good knowing he was being visited by someone with cat experience and who could cater to his many moods! Would definitely recommend her services to anyone with a furry friend :)

Pets

A typical day

As a dedicated dog sitter, I ensure that every dog in my care gets plenty of attention, exercise, and fun. I will take your dog on regular walks, giving them the physical activity they need while exploring different environments to keep them stimulated. I also engage them in playful activities, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply spending quality time together. Beyond just exercise, I’m attentive to their overall well-being, making sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy at all times. Your dog will receive the care and companionship they deserve, keeping them active and content while you’re away.

It is important for me to know as much as possible about your pet to ensure I provide the best care possible. Understanding their daily routine, dietary preferences, and any health concerns or medication they may need is essential. I also like to learn about their personality—whether they enjoy being more active or prefer a calm environment—so I can tailor my approach to suit their comfort. Knowing their favorite toys, activities, and any triggers or fears helps me keep them happy and relaxed. The more I know about your pet, the better I can provide personalized care that keeps them safe, comfortable, and content.
