Pet care experience

🐶 Patient Trustworthy Animal Lover

Hi! I’m Riley I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced sitter with a calm, friendly, and patient personality. I currently care for two special-needs kitties, so I’m very familiar with administering medications, handling medical routines, and comforting shy or anxious pets. Whether your pet needs a little extra support, playtime, or just someone to be there while you’re away, I adjust to their unique needs. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I treat every animal like family. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and truly compassionate, I’d love to care for your pet.

Riley is a fantastic pet sitter! She is so responsive, very responsible, attentive, and so kind to animals. What an incredible resource she is to feel comfortable traveling and know your pet is in great hands! I recommend her 100%!!

Riley has taken care of my cats many times over the years and I’ve always been extremely happy with the results. She texts updates with pictures and reports of how things are going so that I’m never left wondering how my kitties are doing. When she comes over they always greet her with the same affection that she shows them. I’ve had other pet sitters that weren’t half as good as Riley is and I highly recommend her!

We needed someone last minute to check in on our golden retriever, Baxter, and Riley stepped up big time. We had a last minute change of plans and couldn’t make it home for several hours. He has very bad anxiety when we’re away for too long and tends to chew on anything he can find. She showed up and made sure to keep him company and let him know he’s not alone. From the cameras, it looked like she knew exactly how to handle our very loving yet energetic guy and kept him calm and feeling loved. She kindly took the time to take him for a nice long walk as well. Baxter adores her, we’ll definitely be booking with Riley again.

Riley was amazing with Luna and Milo while we were out of town for a week. Luna needs daily meds for her arthritis and can be a little grumpy, but Riley handled her with so much patience and care. We came home to two happy, relaxed kitties and a spotless house. Her daily updates (with photos!) gave us total peace of mind. Can’t recommend her enough!

A typical day

A typical day includes lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to each pet’s energy and personality. For playful kitties or pups, I’ll bring out toys, everyone loves playtime! 😊 For more laid back, shy or senior pets, I’ll offer quiet companionship, gentle brushing, or cozy nap-time company. I follow their routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free.
