Big or small, I love them all!

Pet care experience

Yes, I am young but I have an abundance of experience with all kinds of dogs! We have always had a family dog and at age 10 I started volunteering at our local Humane Society. My family started fostering dogs shortly after and at the age of 15, my Mom started her own in home dog boarding business. We have had over 500 boarding guests in our home, and we have also fostered over 90 dogs. I have helped out in every aspect of her business and have gained a lot of insight about dogs and their behaviors. After graduating high school, I started sitting for dogs in their homes. I do work part-time and I am in my second year of college going for my fire fighting/paramedic degree. My schedule is pretty flexible which allows me to spend the night if needed, or be there first thing in the morning, do afternoon visits and hang out in the evening. I currently live at home and still help out with our current foster dog and vacationers. Dogs are obviously a huge part of my life and I would love the opportunity to meet yours.

Q We left out three dogs in Riley's care for 5 days. It was so nice to be out of town and not worry a bit about our furbabies. It snowed while we were gone and Riley sent us lots of pictures of the dogs in the snow as well as pictures of our yard so we could see what things looked like. I loved having messages and pictures throughout her stay. She did a great job and I feel so lucky to have found Riley. I have already booked her for another stay in January and look forward to many more of her stays with our dogs!

I'm one of Riley's repeat customers. I like the way she relates to all my pets, and she's been taking great care of my elderly little special needs dog. I definitely recommend Riley. She's friendly, responsible, and capable.

Riley was very good with my dogs and sent photos and updates regularly. I'll definitely ask her to sit for me again.

Information Riley Z. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dogs have any past history of aggression. Whether or not your dog chews anything if its left out. Any medications or medical history I should be aware of.

A typical day

Depending on surrounding areas and your personnel preference of where I take your dog, we can go anywhere. If they like to walk, I can take them on a hike or running. I am an outdoor girl and love doing anything physical. After a long day of playing, we can go home and settle down and watch TV together. I'm always open to any suggestions on how to help your pup have the best time while in my care.
