Safety, trust & environment
Safety is the most important thing to me. Luckily, working on horse farms will teach you a lot about animal safety. Leashes out to be held with two hands, doors must be closed at all times, and never cross the street without looking twice! (My other line of work is child care, can you tell I care a lot about safety lol!)
Information Rilo H. would like to know about your pet
The most important information to me is potential triggers or safety concerns. I just want to make sure your baby is safe and sound when they come home! Thank you.
A typical day
I love to make sure pets are stimulated both physically and mentally. This can include a wide array of things: walks of course, and taking the time to let your dogs sniff his surroundings is an exciting daily activity! I also love to hand make frozen food mats, with nutritious treats like pumpkin purée, boiled egg, frozen berries & carrot sticks! This makes for an engaging and nutrient packed activity for dogs!

Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Rilo! I’ve always been told that I’m “the most animal loving person” folks have ever met. I’ve been caring for animals since I became a reptile and bird keeper at age 8! My philosophy with animals is this: they are all autonomous creatures who deserve to be treated as such! Not only do they deserve love and attention, but also respect for their boundaries and needs. I have experience training puppies, as well as caring for sick cats and administering medication. I am alert and a safety first mind when walking dogs, and truly believe that high quality of life for pets can be found in mental and physical stimulation, which is why walks and creative play are cornerstones in my approach! You can count on detailed updates and photos of your pets when they are in my care, as reliable communication is key!

Reviews

Roll was very communicative, reliable, and treated my pup and home with care! Would recommend!
I highly recommend Rilo (Brittany) Harding for dog sitting services. I truly cannot sing enough praises!! Rilo is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, ensuring peace of mind while you're away. Their connection with my dog Gizmo was exceptional—they got along so great I didn’t worry much about Gizmo being lonely. And I knew he was being given genuine care and affection. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
