Pet care experience
Tell you dog I say Hi!
From Wildlife to Wagging Tails! I’ve dedicated the last 10 years to wildlife rehabilitation at Sandy Pines Wildlife Center, but my true passion has always been dogs and cats. I’ve been a lifelong pet parent, with dogs in my family since childhood, secretly rescuing my first dog at age 12. I’ve also volunteered at a cat and dog rescue center in Mexico, where I walked multiple dogs at day, covering about 10km every morning. I’m energetic, attentive, and experienced, and I believe every walk is your dog’s walk, not mine. You let me know what they need, and I’ll do just that. If they want to run, we’ll run. If they want to sniff every tree, we’ll take our time. If they need extra reassurance, patience, or even to be carried, that’s what I’ll provide. Whether your pup needs adventure, calm companionship, or a mix of both, I’d love to care for them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Rio is amazing as always! Our golden doodle Oakie is never more excited than when they show up in the morning:)
Incredible as always—we are so happy to have Rio as our weekly walker. Our golden doodle Oakie loves them so much! :)
Great communication from Rio! Lots of experience with animals it seems and Jersey just loved them. They went for a nice long walk in the neighborhood.

I love to create games for dogs, from hide and seek to hiding treats or creating a puzzle for them to get to the treats!
