Pet care is my full time job, whether it is for my own two dogs or helping other families with their pet needs. I am currently home full time and eager to meet your pet(s). I do occasionally work online but this is limited to a couple of hours a week. Just let me know what you are needing and we will see what we can do.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't change up your care routine! I make sure gates are closed and collars are snug. I do not invite people over without permission. Please be as thorough as possible with anything I would need to know to help make each experience a great one. In my home, for caged creatures, I have a separate room for sleeping and would keep my dogs separate when taking them out for socializing. I currently cannot offer cat/dog care in my home. If you would also like plant care or basic house cleaning duties just let me know. All parts of the environment are important.

Information Riley S. would like to know about your pet

Before coming into your home for an overnight stay or just a drop in visit I like to know emergency contacts and vet information in case either become needed. Let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical requirements, or behaviors/quirks (dog reactive, leash reactive, will eat kleenex, is a kisser, doesn't like butt pet, feces eater, etc.) Any favorite games, toys, or treats.

A typical day

Physical and mental stimulation are a key component to animal health; whether it is hiding treats around the house, toys, walks, fetch, etc. My sister, whom pet sits with me on occasion, loves to play with the pets. If there is a lot of feeding/cleanup for me to do I bring her so there is never a dull moment. However, I also understand that some pets just want to lounge and that is great also! I am more than happy to snuggle in and watch a movie with them. Let me know what your pet likes to do and we will make it a date!

Pet care experience

I have been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2014. Taking care of animals is my happy place and it is a joy seeing all of their true personalities while pet sitting..especially outside of the vet office! I have the most experience with cats and dogs but I have also personally owned a range of pets (gecko, fish, hamsters, tarantula, axolotls, toads, rabbits, chickens, and more) and taken care of llamas, pot bellied pigs, horses, and chinchillas. I have even had the privilege to help care for a fawn and opossum! There is no pet that I would not love the opportunity to meet and care for. I am open to helping any special creature and with any special needs. My sister, Breanne, will often pet sit with me. She has helped me care for the wide range of pets for the past several years. She has a huge heart and loves any pet she sees (she doesn't even have to meet them!) There is never a dull moment for a pet when she is around because play and pet happiness are her ultimate goal. There is never a pet who will feel left out when she is around. She is also my plant expert. If you only need house sitting (without pets) I offer that as well. Just send me a message.

Riley is excellent. She’s super reliable and leaves us great updated on how our pup is doing. Clover is young and can get overexcited but Riley is always able to handle her and we come home to a happy healthy dog every time. Highly recommend!
