Pet resort experience & reliable!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Riley and I am 23 years old. I started regularly walking and checking on people’s pets from around my neighborhood 9 years ago. I spent over a year working at a pet resort here in Wichita. At the facility, we did doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming, so I have experience with all three! Two of the most important skills I learned while working there are proper animal handling techniques and animal body language. I absolutely love animals and I love being around them. I am also comfortable around ANY dog breed. I think of pets as family, which means I will take the best possible care of them. If you’re curious about my own pets, I currently have a miniature dachshund named Lucy and 2 cats named Milton and Cheese.
Reviews
Excellent! Riley is very dependable!
Riley is a wonderful dog sitter. She does everything that I ask of her and sends updates and pictures while I’m away. I’m a repeat customer and I will always call Riley.
Excellent service from Riley. Photos and updates everyday. I felt instantly connected and comfortable leaving my three pups with her while I vacationed. She was responsible and kept the house clean and neat. She left me a sweet note also. I would highly recommend her. I trust her explicitly. You can feel safe with Riley sitting with your pets
Riley was punctual, took good pictures showing the dogs activities, and took good care of the dogs. Riley was accommodating to specific requests regarding the dog’s care.
About Riley B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whenever I book with a new client, I prefer to meet the pets in person as well as the client so that we can talk through individual needs of the pets. This also gives me an opportunity to bond with the animal before the client leaves. I also have them show me where everything I could possibly need is so that I don’t have to bother them while they’re away. Typically, if a pet has anything specific that they need me to watch out for (reactive behavior, likes to jump over the fence, etc.) the client will let me know, but I always ask just in case something slips their mind.
Information Riley B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if they are reactive to anything that I would be coming into contact with. I also would like to know anything related to their health from the medications they take to the weird noises they make. If I know it’s normal, then I won’t have to worry!
A typical day
My typical day with a dog depends on their activity level. For dogs that are old or don’t need too much exercise, then I will walk them wherever the client approves. It’s typically a shorter walk followed by lots of cuddles. For higher-energy dogs, I can play with them for hours. We can go on a long walk, come back, and play fetch for an hour. Whatever the pet needs, I can accommodate!
