Playful, Punctual, and Dependable.

Pet care experience

Playful, punctual, and dependable dog caregiver for hire. I've had dogs my whole life and have been caring for other people's pooches for the last 3 years. I have my dog first aid/cpr certification and have experience caring for breeds of all sizes and ages. I've cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors (my own dog is a senior) and everything in between, as such I can help with potty training and administer medications as needed. Sometimes called a dog whisperer, I've never met a dog that I couldn't woo. I have my own vehicle and can provide your furry friend/baby with no end of outdoor adventures with myself and my furpanion, Olive. Because I work from home I have a flexible schedule so whether you're looking for casual dog walking or regular care you can count on me. In short, I love dogs and as far as I'm concerned the more dogs I get to hang out with the better!

So many great things to say about Rio and the care she provided to my little fur ball. An absolute gem, flexible, experienced, punctual and totally made me feel at ease as this was a first time for me! She provided care in my home and in her home, super accommodating to my work schedule & my pup absolutely adored her and Olive. We are moving away, however I don’t think I’ll ever find a dog sitter like Rio. An absolute rock star!

What a wonderful caring lady!! Takes you and your dogs needs into consideration and gives your pup lots of excercise. My dog absolutely loved her. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

We were super happy to find this lovely lady to take care of our puppy for the night while we went to Mt Washington. I got photos periodically and she seemed very comfortable. She also had a daughter to keep her busy which is a huge plus. Will definitely use her again!
