About Riley H.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
While I visit your pet, I will be empathetic, respect their boundaries, and let our friendship naturally grow over time. I love going on walks, so hopefully we will spend lots of time outside! Nevertheless, if your pet prefers indoors, that is fine with me. If I visit your property, I will treat it with utmost respect and care, as if it were my own. I always make sure to leave the property just as I found it. During my gap year away from university, there's no way I'd rather spend my time than with pets. I can't wait to meet yours!
Information Riley H. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, it would be helpful to know the following information: Their activity level Socializing skills (are they friendly with other dogs, people?) Trained / not trained / work in progress Are there any behaviors I should reinforce? Or discourage? What are their favorite activities? (Chew toy, fetch, eating, napping, ect.) Please let me know if you have any additional requests or specifications for how I should care for your pet and share updates.
A typical day
While caring for your pet, I will find an appropriate balance between rest, mental exercise, and physical exercise. Whether we take a long walk, stroll around the block, or just lounge in the sun, I will do what is best for your pet. Throughout the day, I like to try out tricks or some skill-building exercises to aid mental activity. And last but not least, there is always time to relax together.

Pet care experience
Having lived with dogs for most of my life, I have experienced all age ranges – from rambunctious puppies to senior citizens. This has taught me a lot about day-to-day pet care, including walks, noticing body language, food, medication, and more. Additionally, I work part-time at a pet-friendly condo building. There, I meet dogs of all shapes and sizes. From shy and timid, to bold and outspoken, it’s a highlight of my shift to say hi to all my doggie friends. I also have experience pet-sitting cats and dogs. Please send me a message if you need help with your pet or have any questions!
Reviews
Riley took such great care of my two pets. He sent me photos and text updates, which I really appreciated because it was my first time being separate from my new dog. I really liked how he spent time outside with Fig and practicing music with Bean. Neither of my pets have very specific needs at this point, but I wanted to avoid sending them to a boarder where they’d be mostly isolated. I would absolutely recommend booking a pet sitting job with Riley if you want your pets to enjoy the comforts of home while you’re away.
Riley did a fantastic job taking care of our senior Great Pyrenees. Our dog is pretty friendly but instantly took a shine to Riley and the update photos we got showed how at ease the old guy was around his new sitter! Will definitely be booking again!
Riley has house sat for us twice this summer while we were away. He has been incredibly communicative and professional, as well as super sweet with the animals! He can handle both the high activity needs of our 5-yr-old pit mix as well as the slower pace of our 18-yr-old cat. We appreciate his reliability and feel very lucky to have found him this summer. Highly recommend!
Riley was very personable, communicative, and most importantly took great care of our energetic large dog and senior cat while we were away for a long weekend. He was easy to arrange a meet and greet with, and asked great questions to give us confidence that he would be a good fit. We got reassuring daily updates and photos, and the house was clean and well taken care of on our return! Highly recommend :)
