Pet care experience

I'm the dawg for your dog!

Currently a medical student. I've been the primary care provider for our family dog and my best friend "Bama" for the past 11 years. I'm also the go-to friend and family dog sitter whenever the need arises. I have earned trust due to my love of life as a biologist and as a respected Eagle Scout. I know each life form has its own beautiful soul and should be treated with kindness and respect for that reason. I have pet care experience with dogs, cats, mice, and fish.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Outside of my own personal experiences interacting with pets, I have also taken many courses in animal behavior and the biological basis of animal learning. I have a very solid understanding of why animals do the things they do and this allows me to adapt to whatever circumstances and/or needs of the pets or animals that I interact with. Whether that be crating a dog, training a rebellious puppy, or interactions with other dogs.

Riley is amazing with pets! He is a loving and responsible dog owner who loves nothing better than spending time with animals. He is very attentive to a pet’s needs and can be counted on to always treat a pet as if it was his own. Riley is a conscientious and trustworthy person who I would highly recommend to care for your pets!

Riley is awesome with dogs and will be a great pet caregiver to anyone lucky enough to hire him! He’s been taking off our dogs for over 10 years and is so fun and loving with them. Riley is a really fun and energetic guy and absolutely loves dogs!

I have known Riley R.all his life. He grew up in a loving home with a beloved dog whom he has cared for. Friends and family have hired him to take care of their dogs including staying in their homes or visiting and feeding as needed. He is friendly, personable and reliable. He would be an asset to your company. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

Riley is the BEST! I have used Riley to house/dog sit many times over the last 10 years and both my dogs and I can’t recommend him highly enough! He is great with dogs of all sizes, my Gurley is 85lbs and Maggie 14lbs and they give him all paws up 👍! My dogs both get so excited when he comes to pick them up for a walk or if he is staying the weekend with them here while I am away. Riley is dependable and trustworthy and has a gentle way with the dogs that I truly appreciate. I highly recommend Riley for your fur babies, he is the best!

Riley has loved dogs even before we had our family dog. He takes great care and responsibility for our family dog Bama. Bama loves taking walks and playing with Riley. Riley has feed, walked and has been a pet sitter for several of our neighbors dogs. Riley is reliable, caring, loving and an exceptional person. He knows how to make a dog’s tail wag!

Please let me know your pet's daily routines including bedtime, feeding schedule, typical walk length, bathroom schedule etc. It would also be necessary to know if your pet has any odd characteristics, allergies, or things they are really afraid of and should be avoided.
