I’ll love your pet like I love mine
Pet care experience
I’ve always had animals in my house for as long as I can remember, from small dogs, big dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and more! There’s no kind of animal that I don’t love. In high school, I would take care of my neighbors’ dogs and cats very often. I volunteered at the animal shelter in my hometown for 4 years and then volunteered at the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri here in Springfield, MO during my undergraduate studies. I also worked at the veterinary clinic at the humane society for a short period of time. I currently have 2 cats of my own that I absolutely adore.
Reviews
Riley is an animal lover and always has been. In college, Riley majored in Biology with a goal of continuing on to become a veterinarian. While in college, she volunteered at the local animal shelter. In addition, strays would seeming find her and she would care for them. She would take them to the vet, feed and care for them, and place them into a good home. Riley loves really all animals. Since a small child, she has had and cared for multiple dogs and cats plus rabbits, snakes, gerbils, mice, rats, fish, birds, and more. With her love of animals and dedication to taking care of them, she would be a great candidate to be a care giver for Rover. In fact, her sister living in Chicago is already a member of your team.
The first words I'd use to describe Riley are empathetic and caring. She owns two cats and cherishes them unconditionally. She has always been an animal lover, and strives to love animals any time she encounters them. In the past, she assisted a veterinary clinic and got hands-on experience with handling potentially dangerous animals. While she has had some negative experiences with peoples' pets in the past, she is never the one to incite conflict. One time, one of her friends' dogs bit her randomly while she was petting him. Instead of becoming fearful of dogs, she convinced herself that that dog's behavior might have derived from a traumatic past experience and she challenged herself to continue to interact with the dog. Eventually, they gained each others' trust and they become good friends. Riley is an active person and enjoys walking, so she'll do great at walking pets if that's what this job entails. Otherwise, she's knowledgeable about proper pet caretaking habits (feeding, administering medicine, playing but with limits, etc.). She'll do great!
Riley is fantastic with any and all pets! She has grown up with cats and dogs her whole life and currently owns two adorable cats who are spoiled with love! She is well educated in the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and is always flexible and accommodating to their schedules and very communicative. I would trust Riley to take care of any of my pets!

My cats are extremely well loved and cherished in my house. Let’s face it, cats pretty much own the house they live in right? I live in a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment, so it is pretty small but I try to keep them happy and entertained with lots of playtime. I would love to take your fur baby on walks, give them lots of love and pets, play with them, administer medicine, or anything else you would need me to do or would make your pet happy.
Information Riley N. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to know what their favorite things to do are, if they’re allowed treats (and what kind, if they have any allergies, etc.), their favorite place to be scratched and if they have any triggers that could potentially stress them out so we can avoid that!
A typical day
I would love to know what kind of activities your dog loves most so that I can make them the happiest possible! Whether that be walks, the dog park, fetch, tug of war or just snuggling on the couch, I’m down for it! What your dog says goes.
