Local Principled And Ethical Sitter

Pet care experience

I attended Medaille College, a popular vet tech school in Buffalo, for almost a year and a half (before switching and obtaining my Accounting degree) where students were responsible for tending to and monitoring the lab animals (mice, rats, rabbits, and beagles). I am very familiar with handling, restraining, and observing (for abnormal) behavior, if need be. I have performed medication administration on mice/rats, cats and dogs (in pill or liquid form). I have been sitting for two "clients" for the past 4 years (one starting earlier this year) and may be able to provide their testimonials if requested. One client owned a 13 year old dog, now owns a 1-2 year old fur baby, and the second owns two dogs, two cats, and a rabbit. All of who I became most fond of and bond more deeply with each time visit. Additionally I provided vitamin supplements and joint supplements for the 13 year old doggo who I used to sit. My sitter duties include, or have included providing food and water, changing litter or bedding, and for dogs providing bathroom breaks or neighborhood walks.

Riaa is great, my dogs are always so excited to see her and they’re always happy when I get back! They definitely enjoy her being around

Safety, trust & environment

In truth I prefer not to do boarding only because I live in a studio apartment, and even though it is a large studio, it is still small for a dog. I can, if absolutely need be However I know a couple great and large dog parks near me.

Information Riaa O. would like to know about your pet

What is the temperment/behavior typically like?; Does your pet have high energy or like to lounge around? Do you feed multiple meals or fill the food bowl up? How many times a day and at what times do they go potty? Are there any training techniques you use? Are there any medical issues, allergies, or medications? What is the daily routine? Do you reward good behavior, and do you have a way to handle bad behavior? Is there anything to keep an eye out for? Is there a vet to call/go to if there is a medical emergency? Does your pet have any quirks or triggers?

A typical day

I frequently visit Thornden Park. It has beautiful landscape and covers a very large area with many winding and looping trails. It is perfect for long, long walks or resting on the grass or under trees. Other activities of course include walks around your neighborhood, obedience games, hide and treat games, playing with/blowing bubbles, and scent games with treats.

Availability

I am employed part time so every so often I will need to book around days but I am still or try to still be extremely flexible with booking. But my availability can actually be first come first serve! If we can plan out at least weeks ahead of time, you will be my priority! My typical days off are usually Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays but are always subject to change.
