Information Riley J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby has any special care requirements. Do they have any allergies? Medications? I'd love to know if they have a favorite toy and where their favorite treats are located.

I will provide endless pets, kisses and belly scratches! We'll play with every toy, go out on long walks together and get out all their wiggles

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Riley! I've been caring for animals my whole life! I grew up as the designated, neighborhood pet sitter; and worked as a manager at a daycare/boarding facility for 3 years. I am now offering full time pet sitting. I love my job! I've worked with both dogs and cats, (the occasional bird, bunny, turtle, etc.) of all sizes and personalities. I have one dog and four cats, and they are my world! I will always treat your pet as if they are my own. I am reliable, punctual and have a deep love for all animals. I have a lot of experience administering medications and have cared for pets with special needs. I am patient, calm and can help put your anxious pet at ease. My goal as a pet sitter is to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away.

We love having Riley help watch our cat, Queso, when we head out of town. She gives great report cards and wonderful pictures! I highly recommend Riley!

Riley is incredible! This was Dexter’s first official pet sitting (besides friends and family). I was a bit nervous about how he would respond, but he quickly warmed up to Riley. She left detailed notes about each day’s visit, which helped ease any worries I had during our holiday travel. She even left him a Christmas gift, going above and beyond expectations ❤️ I can’t recommend her enough!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
