Highlights
Pet care experience
your pets new favorite human🐾
Hi, I’m Riley! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even lizards. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior pet who needs extra TLC, or an anxious animal who needs a gentle approach, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, calm, and cared for. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters in Frederick and Montgomery County, where I learned how unique every animal is and the importance of meeting them where they are. I currently work as a Pre-K teacher, which has strengthened my patience, reliability, and nurturing approach skills I bring into every pet I care for. At home, I have large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds and strong pullers on walks. I currently offer drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to customize care based on your pet’s routine, energy level, and special needs. I’m available weekdays and weekends and can be flexible to fit your schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’d love to set up a meet and greet and get to know you and your furry family!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home-I provide a calm, safe, and clean space where your pet can feel at home. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime. I keep the environment stress-free and never leave pets unattended for long. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and comfort! In your home- I treat your home and your pet with respect and care. I stick to your instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or walk preferences. I keep things tidy, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment.
Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough great things about Riley! From the very first meet-and-greet, she was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. She took the time to get to know my dog and cats personality, routine, and quirks, which gave me complete peace of mind. During the stay/walks, Riley sent regular updates and adorable photos that made me feel totally connected while I was away. My pup came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with my dog when I need help. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive sitter/walker, I 100% recommend Riley. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Riley was great, very responsive kept great communication. Left an amazing note and pictures of my boy!!! Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could. Would highly recommend!!
