Safety, trust & environment

I have a pet cat that I have to leave at home with my parents when I leave for school, so I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet without you for any amount of time. I’m very open to owner’s routines and hope to care for your pets in the way you would care for them yourself!

Information Riley T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or reactivities I need to know about. If your dog isn’t comfortable around other pets/people please let me know so I can be prepared. Or is your dog is especially aggressive or nervous around new people so I can adjust my approach.

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, weather and behavior permitting. We could walk around a park, a neighborhood, depending on our moods that day. I love playing fetch or just loving up on a pet all day long. If all they want to do is lay there and get pets, I can do that, but if you’re worried about your pet’s activity levels, I can get them moving as well.

Pet care experience

I started pet sitting when I was around 13 with my next-door neighbor’s dog Shiloh. I grew up with her and had played with her before so she was a great starting point for me! Since then, I have watched family/friends pets whenever they were sick or went out of town and have been doing so for years, throughout high school. My freshman year of college, my roommate has a service dog in training, and I’ve learned even more about dog training and dog care in general from him.

Riley was exceptional! She was on time, responsible and gave thorough, timely reports. Her professionalism reassured me that our pooches were well taken care of and safe. This is our 1st Rover experience.....it won't be our last!

Riley's actions speak loud! She loves what she does! She's prompt and thorough for every drop in! She went above and beyond with the photos, notes AND she left our home neat and tidy! I highly recommend Riley to care for your fur babies while you're away, they will love her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
