No lack of affection :)

Pet care experience

I’ve helped take care of the animals in my house and other people’s houses since I was 5 when my parents started teaching me. I’ve helped raise four beautiful puppies and one gorgeous orange kitten. P.S: I also have experience dealing with rather unruly dogs.

We have 3 pets at home, 2 cats and a golden retriever. Riley is wonderful with the fur babies. We find the cats usually curled up with him in his room. He takes great care of them.

Riley took care of my two rescues with patience and love that they needed. I trusted him completely with them and he took them to the vet for me when I was physically unable to do so. He is a fierce advocate for animals and is very passionate and vocal around issues relating to animal abuse. He has good judgment and has often stayed in my house taking care of the dogs when I have traveled. Recommend him strongly.

Riley is great with animals. He is caring and responsible, and animals really love him. If he sees a dog or cat, he immediately lights up and gives that animal some love. He has taken care of my pets in the past and I will definitely use him again.

Riley is very caring and compassionate when it comes to caring for dogs. He has a calming effect on anxious dogs and is very patient and attentive when he senses a dog has any form of anxiety. Riley takes the responsibility of taking care of a dog very seriously and is a fierce advocate for dogs. It is without any habitation that I strongly recommend him as I have had first hand experience and know how much my dogs love him!

Information Riley D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any issues dealing with people or other dogs, I don’t mind it’s just helpful to be prepared. Also let me know if they need to burn extra energy, I’ve worked with that plenty of times in the past.

A typical day

I’ll take them on long walks, play fetch with them in the yard or even in a park (if OKed by the owner), and give them all the love and snuggles they need <3
