Highlights
Pet care experience
Great with Big Dogs, WFH Walker
I have been a dedicated animal lover and pet owner my entire life. My experience is rooted in long-term personal ownership and recent, reliable caregiving for friends and family. Dog Expertise: I grew up with dogs and, prior to moving to this neighborhood, I was the trusted, regular dog walker and sitter for family and friends. This experience involved handling daily walks, managing feeding schedules, and providing necessary companionship and playtime for various breeds, including both high-energy and senior dogs. Cat Expertise: I am a current, devoted cat parent (along with my husband). I am highly proficient in all aspects of cat care, including understanding subtle feline behavioral cues, managing litter box routines, and ensuring a calm, stress-free environment for shy or independent cats. General Care: I am reliable, responsible, and committed to following your specific care instructions precisely. I understand that sticking to a pet's routine is essential for their well-being. Specific Skills Medication Administration: Comfortable and capable of administering oral medications (pills or liquid) as needed. Safety & Walks: Skilled in leash handling and ensuring safety during walks in local neighborhoods. Home Security: Highly respectful of your home and dedicated to maintaining security and cleanliness during my visits. Communication: Committed to providing detailed updates, photos, and clear communication after every visit.

Safety, trust & environment
I only provide care right in your home—I don't offer boarding at my place. Pets are happiest where they live, and I love bringing the care directly to them! How I Care for Your Pet (20–30 Minute Visits) For Dogs 🐕: Walks & Routine: I stick strictly to your routine! As a WFH person, I love getting out for focused, safe walks, whether it's midday or an evening stroll. Safety First: I have lots of experience walking and sitting for friends/family, and following instructions is my top priority. For Cats 🐈: Calm Connection: As a dedicated cat parent, I understand and adjust to different cat personalities. I focus on reading your cat's mood, providing quiet companionship or playtime on their terms. Special Needs? No Problem: Just like my own cat, I'm totally comfortable handling oral meds, special diets, and those essential quick clean-ups (litter box/accidents). I promise clear communication and lots of fun photo updates during and/or after every single visit!
Ratings and reviews
Riley was wonderful!! She helped me out at the last minute walking the dog. I HIGHLY recommend her. She is very friendly, kept me updated and Sadie loved her walks!!
Riley is the absolute best!! After relocating to the area we were in need of a new sweet and caring walker that could join our family to help us walk with our pup’s daily walks. She has been so sweet and caring and seeing how good she has been with our pup during this big transition period making him feel loved and cared for means the absolute world to my husband and I. I would 1000% recommend her for any of your pets needs 🐶🫶🏻
She has a good deal. I looked around regarding the price and Riley price is the deal so far I’ve booked 3+ w her She asks about the route your dog enjoys too 👍🏼
Logan has a great time on his walks w Riley I love the pictures she uploads and the little report on how Logan did on his walk. She responds quickly as well! 🦮🙂
Riley is an amazing dog sitter. Our dog is about 90 pounds, and Riley has handled her perfectly over the past 10 or so years. Riley is reliable, patient, and kind. She adores dogs and is always the first one to get down on the floor for a snuggle. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Riley. Your dog will be in great, loving hands! 🐶
As the proud owner of a 9-year old retired Greyhound, I can unequivocally state that Riley is possibly one of the most dependable people I've met. She usually shows up early (never late,) gets a better greeting from "Reno" than I typically do (and I feed him!) and does a wonderful job caring for him while I'm away. Riley is very kind, honest, and her love for dogs is obvious. I will continue to use Riley as long as she cares to keep coming over to care for Reno. He & I are both very lucky!

Schedule
Since I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and is a welcome break from my desk! I look forward to the opportunities to get out for walks and visits. Here is how I structure my day around my pet clients: Midday Priority: My lunch break is specifically reserved for client visits. I am typically available between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to ensure your pet gets a much-needed potty break, walk, or play session to break up their day. Flexible Bookends: My WFH schedule allows me to be flexible and accommodate early morning or evening walks/check-ins (e.g., around 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM), which is crucial for pets needing a dinner time routine or a final potty break. Pet-Centric Household: Pet care is a core part of my life. My husband and I are devoted to our cat, Remi, and caring for him—including managing his special diet and occasional medication—means maintaining a consistent, pet-focused schedule is simply normal for me.
