Riley can care for
Availability
I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. On most days I would be able to walk your dog (or cat) at any time and hang out with them most of the day. I make a point to stay with them a lot. While pet sitting, I will usually be at your home with your animals for 20 hours of the day, at least. Some days I won't leave. It is standard practice for me to take the dogs I take care of for multiple long walks a day, depending on what they can handle. It is possible that one day during the stay, depending on how long it is, I will want to go out and do something for 5 hours or so. We can discuss what's important to you as far as hours go over message or when we meet. If your animal(s) can't be alone for more than 2 1/2 hours per day and you want to hire me, you'll have to hire me for "constant care," which is more expensive. There's a bit of a gray area if you don't want me to leave for more than 2 hours at a time or more than 3 hours per day. Depending on the circumstances, I may charge a higher fee then too, but it likely won't be much.

About Riley C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is everything. Loyalty and integrity are an important part of it. You may be hesitant to invite someone into your home to take care of your animals while you are away, and I completely understand that and have the same feelings myself. I am inherently motivated to not only meet your animal's basic needs, but to provide them with warmth, love, consideration, appreciation, and nurturing care. I also have the experience and gut instinct necessary to truly connect with them and ensure their emotional needs are fulfilled. Your instructions are very important to me and help me understand how to best take care of your home and best friend. They also help me get to know them ahead of time. I am definitely comfortable caring for animals that need extra care and attention. I don't shy away from these kinds of jobs. I am also open to negotiating my prices if necessary.
Information Riley C. would like to know about your pet
What is your companion animal's personality like? What is their temperament on walks? What do they need to be comfortable, happy, and fulfilled? What do you usually do with them on a day-to-day basis? What quirks or special needs does your pet have? Is there anything unusual that "triggers" them?
A typical day
Going outside and getting exercise is a priority for me as an individual and as a sitter. I'm definitely not a stranger to long walks and can easily meet the needs of large and high-energy dogs. We can go for walks practically anywhere, even in nature preserves. I'd be willing to drive to a nature preserve if your pup is used to it. I'd also be happy to play with your dog in your backyard or in your home to keep them calm and fully exercised. Cats tend to be a bit easier... I am totally happy to just chill with your feline friend, play with them, and stay at your home as much as you need me to.

Pet care experience
Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a young kid. My family rescued dogs and cats and I've continued that trend into adulthood. There are few things more important to me than rescuing animals and showing them that life can be so beautiful and that there are people who are capable of loving and caring for them unconditionally.
Reviews
Riley was kind and communicative throughout the service. I would recommend her to anyone!
Riley took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and worked with us to set up a few pre visits to get them (and us) comfortable with her before our trip!
Thank you, Riley, for providing some outdoor fun this week while we’ve been away. I’m sure Jack loved it!
Riley was unbelievably AMAZING when it came to watching our dogs 🐕 we went on vacation to Disney world, which I had been dreading because our pitbull had ACL surgery in September and was still recovering & also getting ready for her second surgery on the other leg the week after vacation. Riley was the reason we enjoyed our vacation and didn’t stress the whole time, we haven’t had great luck with pet sitters in the past & I always come home to a problem. This time I literally came home to nothing wrong & she even offered to do very kind things like vacuum the house & do laundry 🧺 which she did not have to do but the thought and willingness is above and beyond. Her communication was 100% amazing the whole time & most importantly our pitbull & 110 pound horse of a golden retriever LOVED RILEY & literally got pictures of them snuggling her every day and night. As long as Riley is doing this she will be our permanent pet sitter for whenever we leave town for a few days. We cannot thank her enough for all she did and we are very grateful that we found her, I know I’ll remember her always because I’ll think of the smiles on my kids faces at Disney world and how my wife & I were able to soak all of that in instead of fretting about the dogs & house back home 🏡. I would recommend Riley over anyone on here :-) Thank you again Riley 🫶 - The King family :-)
