Pet care experience
Responsible Care You Can Trust
I have over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I regularly support friends and family with their pet care needs, from daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and keeping routines consistent while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic pets who love to play and explore, as well as couch-loving companions who prefer quiet company and naps. I have minor experience administering medications and assisting with basic medical care, and I always follow instructions carefully and ask questions when needed. I’m patient, observant, and genuinely love animals—I’m absolutely the person at every gathering who ends up sitting on the floor bonding with the pets. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any household preferences. I treat every home with respect and care, making sure your pet’s space stays clean, safe, and calm. I take time to give pets attention and companionship—not just the basics—whether that means playtime, enrichment, or simply sitting with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m observant and communicative, and I provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. You want photo updates? I got you! :)
Ratings and reviews
Ripley did an amazing job with Blu! She was very attentive to his needs. She took him outside and made sure he got his exercise in! We came home to a very happy dog.
I highly recommend Ripley to care for your pet! She was incredibly communicative and kept us updated throughout the entire time by sending photos and detailed descriptions of each visit. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in such caring and attentive hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! ♥️
Amazing sitter, 10/10
Ripley was prompt and took her time on the drop-in visit with my dog. She sent several pictures, too. Her visit was a success. Thank you!
Ripley has the passion to take care of every animal she knows and doesn’t know. She has the tendency to help and care for the neighborhood animals and the neighbors animals and loves every minute of sending cute videos to people she knows. She loves each cute pet she can interact with and has the drive to be on a first name basis with them if possible. 10/10 would have her pet sit when I need someone reliable and full of love for my animals.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. Outside of caring for my own pets, I’m very open and flexible, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, extended visits, and overnight care as needed. I plan my day around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pet needs structured activity, relaxed company, or a mix of both, I’m happy to adjust my routine to match theirs. Reliability and clear communication are important to me, and I make sure pet care is never rushed or treated as an afterthought.

- **I do not pet sit in my own home due to my own cats** Before booking, I appreciate clear instructions about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. Knowing feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication details, and household expectations helps me give your pet the best possible care. I’m happy to care for a wide range of pets, from playful, high-energy companions to laid-back couch potatoes. I especially enjoy pets who like human company, but I also respect independent personalities and take time to earn trust at their pace. I’m a great fit for dogs and cats who thrive with consistent routines, gentle attention, and a caregiver who adapts to their energy level. If your pet has minor medical needs, anxiety, or specific quirks, I’m always happy to talk through details ahead of time to make sure we’re a good match. My goal is always a smooth, stress-free experience—for you and your pet.
