Riah was terrific for our not easy to get along with dog.

As always, Riah was wonderful with our quirky/anxious pup. We’ve always felt comfortable leaving Poppy with her (and our house). We’ve been spoiled and will miss her dearly!

While Riah seemed super attentive to our girls, giving our dog a lot of outside time and walks (which she loves), we asked that she not be left alone for more than 4 hours because she isn’t used to long periods alone, but during the stay she was left for closer to 7 hours without communication. Unfortunately this was not consistent with the expectations we had clearly communicated, so it was not the right fit for us.

This was Riah's second time staying with our dog and she was excellent! She is very communicative and sends regular updates with pictures and videos. Our dog can be anxious when we're away, so seeing our dog's personality come out in videos was a clear sign she felt safe and comfortable with Riah. We will continue to book her services for future trips.

Riah was great with our girls and kept us updated with adorable photos. She was extra helpful grabbing a package that was delivered as well.

Schedule

Because I work remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My 'office' is wherever your pets are! This means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, midday play sessions, and plenty of desk-side snuggles. I stick closely to your pet's existing schedule for feeding and walks to ensure their routine stays exactly as it is when you’re home.
