Safety, trust & environment

I am currently living in Brooklyn but am able to travel around the city to care for animals. I always treat my client’s house as if I am a guest and leave things the way they were looking when I arrived. I respect being able to be let into someone’s home so I always treat it with care.

Information Riley A. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know what kind of energy a dog is going to bring and what kind of interactions they like! I prefer smaller dogs due to not being quite strong enough to take some bigger dogs on walks. I have grown up with smaller dogs all of my life and I love them. :)

A typical day

I love walking on trails or through neighborhoods in the area. I also love going to dog parks. I am great at taking care of easy going dogs that like to relax as well.

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Riley! I have lived with pets all my life and I love all animals! Your animal will be safe and happy with me. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, I’d love to spend time with them and give them some good attention. Your pet will without a doubt get very much love and care while being taken care of by me. I look forward to hearing from you and caring for any type of pet, I love all animals and will do all I can to give your pet a great experience! :)

My usual cat sitter wasn't available, so I hired Riley to house-sit for my cat, and I'm SO happy I did! She was communicative, friendly, considerate, and made my cat feel comfortable and happy from the start. She sent me photos every day, and I could tell my cat was getting lots of love and attention. When we returned home, our apartment was just as clean as we had left it. It's such a relief to find someone you can completely trust with both your pet and your home. I would absolutely book Riley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!

Riley came thru for me in the clutch when my normal sitter came down with the flu. She was prompt, courteous and was very flexible in tending to my specifics needs.. I definitely recommend her services and I will be using her again in the future!
