Home Full-Time! Empathic & Responsi

Pet care experience

Hello there -- my name is Ria. I live in Bushwick and can't wait to meet your furry family! I work from home all day as a freelance designer, which means I can closely attend to the needs of your sweet dog! Being a dog-owner myself, I know how hard it is to find a reliable sitter for your beloved pet. I promise to work hard knowing that you have entrusted me with their safety and wellbeing. I'm an attentive caretaker who takes note of all the small and unique details (whether it be special dietary instructions, separation anxiety management tips, etc.) you let me know of that allow me to best get along with and care for your pet. Your loved one will be in safe, capable and gentle hands with me! I try to enjoy an active lifestyle, so your dog may find me trying to sneak in an at-home workout in between playtime and feeding. But better yet, if they're up for it, I would love to take them out on the town, ensuring they're happily tuckered out when we make it back home. During your dog's stay at my place, your dog will be accompanied, not only by me, but by my sweet pup, Ube. Ube has never met a dog she doesn't love and is a gentle, submissive playmate who is quite intuitive when it comes to reading other dogs' interest in her/energy level. **NOTE: Since I'm the proud parent of a friendly pittie and will frequently have other dogs here, I can only accept non-aggressive dogs.**

Ria was so great with our dog Cooper. Plenty of updates and it seems like our boy had such a wonderful time with her and her sweet dog Ube. Would recommend her to anyone!

Ria and her dog, Ube, were so great with my 3-month old puppy, Luna. Ria constantly sent adorable photos of Luna napping and playing with Ube. She was very attentive to Luna’s needs and made sure to follow all instructions that I gave her. Luna came home happy, tired, and well taken care of!! Thank you, Ria and Ube!!!

Ria was great to us and to Chuck! She recognizes not only the care and attention each dog in her home needs, but also that of nervous pet parents who feel bad about leaving their fur kids behind when they travel. Since we were going to be outside the country and several timezones away, Ria made sure we had our communication plans set in advance and she always sent us updates, pictures, and responded to all of our messages. Ria made sure Chuck was happy and comfortable and we were glad to have her and Ube keeping him company in our absence. Ria accomodated all Chuck's senior dog needs with no problem. We are grateful to Ria and definitely will look to her again when we need someone to watch over our favorite guy.

Information Ria M. would like to know about your pet

Do they get along with other dogs/children? (Good to know for when your lil one has to use the potty outside and may encounter some passersby, if you would like me to take them out to a park, etc.) Any separation anxiety? Is your dog allowed on furniture at your home? Does your dog have any particular feeding schedule or diet? Any special tricks you'd like me to work on with them? :)

A typical day

I would love to take your dog to the park to scope out the squirrels. Maybe a jog around the town, if you have an extra athletic one in the family. I can ensure your dog has someone to tug the other end of their chew toys while we're at home. And I will be sure to snap some cute photos while they're sleeping after all the fun has wound down. (I love a good pup photoshoot. You're certain to get many photo updates from me, so you can know what your sweet one has been up to!)
