Canine Caretaker & House Sitter
Pet care experience
Your pet is a part of your family, and when you aren’t able to be with them, you want to be sure the people you are entrusting them to have the same high standard of care. I'm Riley - a wedding photographer and pet caretaker in Boston . Having studied animal science and gone on to Bali for a photojournalism mission alongside a Nat Geo photographer for animal rehabilitation/rescue, I am a lover of animals. Dogs, no surprise, are my favorite. As mentioned, I am a professional photographer--I have built my own business and have an established flawless 5-star rating spanning over 50 reviews. I am comfortable, familiar, and respectful of client-facing roles. I am punctual, thorough, and passionate about everything I do. Dogsitting is no exception to these standards I hold myself to as a professional. I have been a professional caretaker of dogs for years on and off, from Denver to DC, Charlotte to the Upper East Side. And now, to you. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend. While a seamless and fun environment is important for your pet, providing safety is my top priority. I am committed to providing quality and making sure dog owners partnering with Rover have peace of mind when I stay at your home with your pet. Come see for yourself!
Reviews
Riley was a dog sitter for me for one summer and was superb! She loves dogs and is a caring pet sitter. I would safely say that you cannot do better than to hire her for your furry friends. She will spoil them royally with walks and cuddles. Sincerely, Penny V.
Riley loves dogs of all shapes and sizes and treats everyone as if they are her own! I trust her whole heartedly and know that my senior dog is in great hands with her!
I have yet to meet someone who loves dogs more than Riley! Every time we're out, she is eager to greet every pup and spread some love. She's an excellent dog guardian and I would highly recommend her!

Information Riley V. would like to know about your pet
I always ask to meet the client and their pet before taking on a job, to make sure we both have an understanding of each other, your expectations, and the dog's dynamic with me. Let's meet for coffee or a quick chat and walk around the block as an introduction. I also always ask for a hand-written organized list of duties required for the dog. Walk times, durations, feeding preferences, exercise patterns, anything you can think of to write down for me. I am high-energy and love playing with pups--but I also had a senior basset hound back home with my mom so I know the love, care and patience an old dog needs.
A typical day
Depending on your neighborhood I will ask you your typical walking preferences. My goal as a professional is to do my best to take your place while you're away. I want to do everything you do with your dog, to keep them the happiest and safest during their time with me.
