Pet care experience

Dog Walking, Pet & Vet Professional

Every pet (and owner) deserves knowledgeable and reliable care! I have been a veterinary technician for over a decade and a pet owner for life, currently sharing my life with 4 wonderful dogs 🐶 Although the majority of my veterinary career has been in small animal (cats/dogs) I have owned and cared for critters big and small. From rodents and reptiles to livestock and other farm animals. Whether you need me to walk your pup while you’re at work, give timely medications to a pet with medical needs, or maybe you need me to stop in and tend to your backyard chickens - you can feel confident that your pet(s) will receive quality personalized care with me. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment

All pet care instructions given by the owner(s) is followed precisely. It’s my goal to stick to your pets familiar routine as much as possible for an overall positive experience. **For pet-sitting and drop-in: I recommend a meet and greet with pets and owners at their home prior to starting a pet-sit and ask for any medical care instructions to be in writing and discussed prior to owners leaving. I do not offer boarding/daycare in my home at this time. **For dog walking: I recommend a meet and greet with the dog(s) and owner prior to our first walk. I always bring treats for positive engagement during walks unless otherwise instructed by the owner. I will always ask if your dog has dietary needs or restrictions ahead of time. **Hiking Services offered for established clients only, pickup/drop off included in service. Details upon request.

Riley was amazing with all of my babies! It is clear that she is very skilled with all types of animals, she is even helping me train my young puppy! My pets absolutely adore her and there is nobody that I would trust more than her with my babies. Knowing that she is trained in the veterinary field gives me so much comfort in leaving my pets in her care. She is by far the best pet sitter I have ever had and my pets are excited to see her again!

Riley did great with my pup! Punctual per agreed time and duration. Even brought treats (ingredients approved). Hollee came back from her walk happy and ready to rest. I’ll definitely hire her again and I recommend her.

I have always been so impressed by the respectful and loving relationship that Riley has with her own and other people's dogs. When I first rescued my young German shepherd, Riley sent me information about what to expect as my pup and I learned more about each other, helped me introduce my dog to other dogs and to people, and continued to be a great example in dog handling. Riley is highly knowledgeable and understands what dogs need to make them feel at ease. She has experience with dogs in all shapes and sizes. Most importantly, she respects dogs as individuals and knows that breed, age, and temperament contribute to personality and a dog's level of comfort or anxiety, so her behavior is tailored to fit each dog. She is obviously passionate about all things dog, and never stops thinking of ways to improve their lives, including making her own treats, learning physical therapy techniques, researching optimal diets, and finding new trails where pups can run around and be their best. I would 100% recommend Riley to watch/walk/care for anyone's dog.

I am a veterinarian and I worked with Riley for well over a year. She is very skilled at observing problems with patients and she deeply cares for their well being. She is also very honest and tender with animals. She has a good heart. I highly recommend her for Rover clients, she will take good care of your clients' pets.

Riley is dog's best friend. She has a seemingly inante ability to approach dogs and work with them on their terms. It's evident enough in her own pack how much love and attention she is capable of giving to animals. Her pups are calm, loving, and playful as she is firm in training while allowing dogs to be their best dog self. Riley also has years of experience as a vet tech and is knowledgeable and quick to respond to emergencies if anything were to happen. My lab Oscar loves seeing his aunt Riley. Never would I worry with him in her care.

I have two very active herding dogs and when I need back up care because of work or travel, I trust Riley to keep them busy, happy and safe. When they’re with her, they get exercise and play and I know they’re too busy having fun to miss me. I recommend her if you want someone who genuinely enjoys making your dog’s day a great day!
