Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!

Information Riley W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have a dog that doesn’t get along well with other dogs. my dog Bear is super friendly and playful, I just want to make sure they would get along! Special dietary needs, medication, crate trained, or anything else that you feel is necessary!

A typical day

I love to make sure the dog has a good nutritional breakfast and then a potty break/short walk in the morning! Then we will play together, such as tug of war, fetch, stimulating puzzle dogs, and practicing tricks! Then we will go on a longer walk and smell all the goodness the earth has to offer! I either like to walk around a local pond or walk a trail. Ending the day will some more play time and rest!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well!

Riley is truly the best, and our pets absolutely adore her. We’ve used her multiple times for pet and house sitting, and she is consistently reliable, attentive, and caring. She treats our pets like her own and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. We got unexpectedly snowed in and couldn’t make it home on time, and Riley didn’t hesitate to stay an extra day to make sure our pets were safe, comfortable, and loved. That kind of flexibility and kindness means so much to us. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter.
