Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, crate if needed, and a friendly 70 lb dog who loves company. I would love to have your dogs or cats join us for a stay! For boarding clients— I do have chickens in my backyard in a secure fenced area not accessible to the dogs. Most dogs are fine with this but I am unable to take dogs that are reactive to small animals as it is too stressful for them.

Information Riley S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any additional needs or requests. I have experience with dogs with illness, injury, and special needs so I am able to provide most types of specialized care. I always do a slow and supervised introduction when my dog is meeting a new friend, but all pets must be generally friendly :)

A typical day

On a typical day, I like to take dogs out for an early morning walk or run and over to my favorite dog park for a play session. Once we get home, we have lots more play time and possibly an afternoon puppy nap! I also like to do an evening walk before feeding dinner, weather permitting.

Riley took amazing care of my pup while I was out of town for a week! She sent me lots of pictures and I had peace of mind that my dog was in good hands. Will definitely be having her sit for me again in the future

Riley was absolutely wonderful—one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! She was so kind, attentive, and detail-oriented, making sure my cat was happy and comfortable the entire time. She was always on time and went above and beyond to keep me updated. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such caring hands.
