Safety, trust & environment

I am observant and look out for behavior and mood changes. I make sure that the environment is safe for the animal. Getting to know an animal is very important to me because then I can better ensure their well-being. Communication with the pet owner is very important to me; understanding what special needs the animal has.

Pet care experience

I am a recent graduate of Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. My family is split between the US and Guatemala. In the last couple of years, I have discovered that I really enjoy working with animals. We have many dogs in Guatemala, some of whom we have rescued. I also have a very special cat named Butter. My animal-related work experience includes working as a Daycare Attendant at Create Escape in Belmont and as a Tub Attendant at Laundromutt in Cambridge, as well as at BYOD in Boston. In both positions, I handled animals and looked after their well-being and safety. I have experience taking care of dogs in groups and dogs with different personalities and physical needs. For example, one of our dogs in Guatemala has partial paralysis of his body. I am also an artist and love doing portraits of dogs emphasizing their different personalities.

Ria was great! She was able to do drop in visits last minute on a holiday weekend. She was super responsive and communicated about every visit.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
