Highlights
Pet care experience
Pre- Vet student looking to help!
Aside from pet sitting since I was 16, I have two years of shelter work and two years as a vet assistant where I have administered medications, been on seizure watch with epileptic patients, helped deliver puppies and also worked with dogs who had behavioral issues due to rough pasts. I also have helped take care of very elderly and senior dogs and understand the time and care they need, as well as helping with dogs going through their first heat cycle.
Cat care experience

Riley also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My biggest rule when I do overnights is to make sure the house is completely secure before I go to sleep. Your pets safety is my number one priority . I have been trained by my job on how to handle multiple pet emergencies, including seizures, overheating and injuries. As someone who has owned and worked with dogs dealing with joint problems, I make sure to prevent any falls or accidents by keeping the dog in safe areas as well as monitoring activity.
Ratings and reviews
Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!

Riley was pretty responsive and did the rover cards, but I am unsure if she was telling the truth about visiting one night that there was no rover card. There might have been a miscommunication about taking my dog out when it was storming, but it felt like I had to push her to let my dog pee really quick and I am not 100% sure she actually ended up taking him out. She sent one picture with each rover card, no note, and the visits lasted for exactly 30 minutes every time. She did not map the dog walks and could have been a bit more communicative.


Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!

Riley is a great addition to Gemma and Nico’s routine when I’m away at work. She is kind and patient with my anxious Nico and shy Gemma. Definitely keeping her on the books for future walks!


Riley was a breath of relief for us. Was very attentive to Zeus and our concerns. Was exceptional at enriching Zeus life. Took him for car rides and social events. Helped us when he was having ear pain the Sunday we were to leave. She connected with our vet to get him in and feeling better. Left a clean house and wrote a beautiful synopsis of her stay and how Zeus did. I highly recommend Riley. She was here for two weeks while we were away overseas.

Riley is professional with excellent communication. She is a great helper that is reliable and reasonably priced.

Schedule
I currently work part time, mostly weekdays with a break in between as well as taking classes, all of which are online for the summer, but am typically very flexible for things such as walks and play time. My goal is to make sure all dogs I sit get at least one hour of playtime a day, obviously adjusted for energy level. I am also available to do overnight care for more senior dogs or dogs that need medications at specific times, as well as dogs that do better having someone in the home.
