Safety, trust & environment

I have a couple cats of my own with their very own bedroom where they can find their food, water, and plenty of relaxation spots and solitude from my two dogs, if they ever needed a break. The dogs also have their own room, with their beds, crates, and a closet full of food. Food, toys, and plenty of water are provided at all times, even in the yard. I have a home with a tall privacy fence and plenty of space for the dogs to run around and the cats to safely roam with supervision. Safety, peace, and comfort are my top priorities when it comes to animal care.

Information Riley H. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs, such as medications (oral or injections), needs assistance walking, eats special food, needs a good nail trim, or any other quirky needs, let me know! There is nothing I cannot handle.

A typical day

I take the time to learn what toys my pets like, and take time each day to play with the animals either in a group or one on one. I also enjoy small outings to the park for a walk or to play some fetch.

Pet care experience

Important notes: 🐾 NO ADDITIONAL PET FEES 🐍🐠🐹 I have a ball python and a fish tank, which are housed in tanks in a room away from all animals. While Rover does not allow pet checks for non dog/cat critters, I recognize they are family too and require care. I will happily accept watching or checking on them if needed ⭕️About me: ⭕️I started out as a kennel technician my senior year of high school. I was quickly promoted to a veterinary assistant position and worked as a technician for a total of 3 years. I’ve also been caring for my own pets since I was young, taking care of animals for friends and family, and even taking on strays or injured animals that need some TLC. ⭕️After my veterinary experience, I know how to administer medications orally or injected, care for animals when they are scared, assist the elderly with tasks such as walking, and much more. Due to COVID, my education took a turn and became more environmentally focused rather than animal science, but my love still remains. ✅Use the code RILEYH05117, or the link https://www.rover.com/sit/rileyh05117 for 20$ off your first booking

Riley did a great job with my shy grown pup. Riley shared quality feedback and photos with me on how Dakota responded to her, even after meeting her, which was helpful. Dakota is a shy girl, but sometimes warms up quickly. She gets homesick from her mama, but Riley handled it well. She was timely, responsive, and professional.
