Loving Pet Care You Can Trust
Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with over four years of experience looking after my family’s dog and cat, plus hands-on experience raising a pet bird when I was younger. I'm also a common recipient of the Cat Distribution System, so I have experience caring for strays and lost cats. Our dog was a hound—high-energy and in need of regular training—so I’m very comfortable with long walks, obedience work, and handling more active or stubborn pups. I also cared for our elderly cat, learning to be especially patient and gentle with senior pets who need extra love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for a bird, giving me insight into the specialized routines and environments that birds need to feel safe and happy. Whether your pet loves playtime, snuggles, or just some quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like family. I’m attentive, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates to give you peace of mind while you're away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved in their own space. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play habits—and I always follow any special instructions you provide. I make sure to keep things clean, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Ripley did an amazing job watching my cat. She was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond in taking care of my little guy. Thanks Ripley!
Ripley does a fantastic job and interacts great with my super hyper dog. I am very pleased with her service.
yo ripley's the best!! my dog legit sprints to the door when she hears her coming 😂 walks are long + full of sniffs (which he loves obv). she even somehow got my grumpy cat to cuddle?? magic. super chill, always on time, sends the cutest pics. 10/10 would trust her w/ my pets + maybe my life too lol
Ripley is truly a gem when it comes to pet care. Whether it's a dog walk or taking care of my cats, she brings an energy and attentiveness that sets her apart. As a student, Ripley juggles a busy schedule with grace and still makes time to give each pet her full attention After walking my dog Benji, he always comes back tired and happy, and even seems to know when it’s “Ripley Day”! haha Ripley is reliable, responsive, and clearly loves animals like they’re her own. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond—playing hide-and-seek with your cat, or making your dog feel like the star of the sidewalk—she’s the one. I couldn't recommend her more :)
Ripley has taken care of our animals over the years. We have dogs, cats, cows and even at one point chickens! She not only takes care of their needs, she gives them kindness and attention. She is responsible, reliable and often goes above and beyond! We highly recommend Ripley to others.
I can't recommend Ripley enough for anyone looking for a truly thoughtful, responsible, and compassionate pet caregiver. I've witnessed firsthand the deep bond she forms with animals-my own pug absolutely adores her! Their connection is so special that I find myself sending her photos of him not just on her birthday, but randomly, just because I know how much it brightens her day. Ripley has a gentle, intuitive way with animals and people alike. Her mother once shared a story that perfectly sums her up: their family took in a dog temporarily and saw it simply as an outdoor responsibility-something to feed and manage. But Ripley's calm, loving interactions with that dog, and her influence on the family, completely changed their perspective. That dog became true part of their home, loved and included, all because of Ripley's example. What sets her apart is not just her love for animals, but her high level of responsibility and accountability. You can trust her completely to care for you pet like her own-with attentiveness, patience, and heart. Pets (and their people) are lucky to have her.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m especially available on weekends and weekday evenings, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. Whether it’s daily walks or check-ins, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and your schedule.
