my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something.

Safety, trust & environment

I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.

Information Riley S. would like to know about your pet

If the dog can swim? If the dog is friendly with other animals or people? What does the dog not like or makes them reactive? Are they allergic to anything or is there anything the owner prohibits? What all would they like me to do? Any rules or regulations ? What are the dates and times for the job? If it’s permanent are there any dates that won’t need serviced? Are there any triggers that set the pet off, like kids, high voices, certain clothing, other pets,etc? I also like to know any tips or tricks.

A typical day

Every dog and owner is different. There are many ways to stimulate a dogs brain like hiding or spreading the food & treats maybe using a sniff Matt or just rolling treats up in blanket. Depends on what the parents use and have available. I take my dogs on car rides and to get pup cups occasionally, or I can take the dog on walks wherever the parents permit. I always try to make sure the dog has food and water if needed. It’s all about learning the specific routines

Im an animal lover.

Pet care experience

Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable

Riley is absolutely amazing! We’ve worked with her for months and I always know my dogs are in the best hands. My dogs both adore her, especially my younger one which Riley would work on commands with. They always had food, water, plenty of potty and play time, and treats. I am so grateful for Riley, she gave me such peace of mind while I was at work and I can’t wait to continue to work with her!

It was my second booking with Riley! My cat crew was well taken care of and she really takes the time to get to know each of them and their personalities and needs. She communicates what’s going on and makes me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.

Riley was awesome! My first time using Rover and I couldn’t have been happier. Riley took great care of my cats and spent time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. Absolutely recommend!
