Pre-vet student / pet whisperer!
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Riley and I recently graduated from Northeastern University, and I’m now living at home while waiting on vet school decisions. I worked at a doggie daycare from 2018 to late 2020, and have been doing Rover around my school schedule since fall 2020. I worked at MSPCA-Angell full time from June-December 2021, and part time the following spring. Last summer I worked one-on-one with a feline veterinarian who has specialized in cats since the 90s! I will absolutely love your furry (or hairless!) friends as if they’re my own, and I especially love caring for senior pets, nervous pets, or any who may need a little extra help feeling comfortable with a new person. I have lots of experience giving subcutaneous injections, administering oral medications, coordinating tricky diets, and handling multiple animals at once. I would love to walk your pups, check in on your rats, feed your cats, or stay the night with your pets in your home!
Reviews
Riley was great with my kitties!
Riley was very communicative. I appreciated that Riley asked questions about what our dog would enjoy, and if she'd do well playing with other dogs her size. She sent several photos that helped put us at ease. Riley did some housekeeping things that made it easier for us when we came home after being away. I would recommend Riley.
Riley is a phenomenal dog walker. She is on time, willing and able to cater to your dog’s personality, and dedicated yet laidback. I can’t recommend her enough.
Riley was so nice and attentive. She was prompt with responding to request and text messages. She took great pictures for us and sent these in updates while we were away every day. I hope Riley is available the next time we need her services as we would like to have her back. Best, Sandra and Jeff

Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I try to stick to your pet’s schedule as best I can! I’m happy to lounge on the couch or go for hikes, or anything in between. I’m flexible and willing to do whatever works for your fur kids!
Information Riley B. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your pups schedule and activity levels throughout the day! If you're looking for day care, any info on their attitude towards cats is helpful as well. Also - my rates depend on how much time I need to take out of my day to attend to your pets needs, so they are flexible depending on your location!
A typical day
I love taking dogs to the park or around campus for walks, as well as working on training to stimulate their mind and tire them out! Since I always have homework I also enjoy a lazy day full of naps and sun bathing if that’s more your pet’s style. I take pride in my flexibility and being able to adapt to your pet's needs :)

Availability
I just graduated and will be living at home while I wait on decisions from vet schools. I may start working at a greenhouse in the spring, depending on how many pet sitting clients I have. Right now I’m fully dedicated to your pets!
