Highlights
Pet care experience
Rescue Volunteer and Pet Lover
I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages. I currently foster cats and kittens, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, administering medication, and socialization. I have experience regularly walking both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and walking styles, whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I love spending time with animals and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your dog’s energy levels and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routing as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and comfort level. Whether they are outgoing or more reserved, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that you pet is happy and well cared for. As a cat foster and lifelong pet owner, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and ensuring pets stay safe, comfortable, and stress-free.
Ratings and reviews
Riley was amazing with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while I was away. My cats can be a little particular, but they were happy and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated the updates and would definitely book Riley again. Highly recommend!
Riley is reliable, responsible and Chica loves her!
Riley was incredibly trustworthy and kind! Huge help
Riley was great watching my Bernese mountain dog and two cats while I was away. My dog can be quite a stubborn walker, but Riley was very patient with her and took the time to get to know her qwerks. She sent lots of updates playing with the cats and was very attentive to their needs. I recommend Riley to anyone who want to ensure their pets are well cared for!
Riley is the most responsible person I know, especially when it comes to animals. She doesn’t second-guess anything when it comes to pets, and is super thorough and communicative.
Riley has cared for our pets countless times, and we trust her completely. She looks after our two dogs—a 13-year-old goldendoodle and a 5-year-old Bernedoodle—as well as our two 17-year-old sister cats, and she handles all of them with real patience and affection. With both our older dog and our senior cats, she’s reliable about giving daily medications on schedule, which gives us huge peace of mind when we’re away. She keeps the dogs happy with their daily walks, makes sure everyone is fed, and genuinely treats our animals like they’re her own. Beyond being dependable and conscientious, Riley is just a warm, kind person who clearly loves animals. We recommend her without hesitation.
