As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet throughout the day. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just hanging out for some company, I’m around and available. I know how important it is to keep pets feeling loved and comfortable while you’re away, and I genuinely enjoy the time I get to spend with them!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets, I treat them like they’re my own for the time I get to spend with them. I make sure they stick to their usual routine (feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles) so they feel comfortable and safe. I love sending photo updates throughout the day because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you’re away (and I just can’t resist snapping cute pictures!). As a college student, I truly relish any opportunity to have a “pet” for a little while. Being around animals brings me so much joy! Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care.

Information riley h. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any specific instructions or routines your pet has! I totally understand that every animal is different and comes with their own little quirks :) For example, my dog will only eat if I stand there and tell him “good job” the whole time, so no judgment here! Whether it’s a certain way they like their walks, special feeding habits, or things that make them nervous, I’m happy to adjust to whatever helps them feel comfortable and cared for. The more I know about your pet’s personality, the better I can make them feel right at home.

A typical day

I know my dog LOVES fetch and as a college athlete I am always looking for excuses to go on long walks/runs. As the owner of an aussiedoodle I understand the need for dogs to get their energy out. My main goal is always to make pets feel as comfortable and loved as possible while their owners are away. I know how much change can stress animals out, so I take time to get to know what makes each one happy and relaxed

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love getting to understand what makes each one unique. I raised and fully trained my own puppy, who is now five years old, and recently completed a Dog Psychology class focused on reducing stress and promoting positive behavior. I’m also pursuing research in animal cognition, which helps me better understand how animals think, learn, and communicate. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I’ve also looked after cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and I currently have a seven-year-old leopard gecko. I treat every animal I care for with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own pets.

This was our first time booking a sitter for cat sitting in our home and Riley was the perfect choice!! She sent updates with pictures every single day of our kitties. She was so clean and respectful of our house, leaving it in pristine condition. Our cats all loved her and were so happy to have her keeping them company. Knowing Riley was taking care of our cats and home was a huge stress relief, we can’t wait for our next vacation so we can book her again!!

Riley was great and kept me updated throughout the day on my new puppy when she dropped in! She pays attention to detail and makes sure that she did everything I had on my list and was proactive in making sure she had details before the visit!
