Dog Mom With a Flexible Schedule

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide 24/7 care for your pet! My husband and I own a home with plenty of indoor space, a shaded deck, and a large fenced-in backyard where our friends and family often bring their pets for playtime. We have a sweet, playful 10 month old puppy named Vida, and she loves playing with her doggy friends! Our previous pup, Max, was diagnosed with diabetes milletus, and eventually lost his eyesight. We had to administer insulin injections to him twice daily, so you can feel safe knowing I’m comfortable attending to any of your pets' medical needs. My schedule allows me to be on-call for your pet. Whether it means watching them in my home or making last-minute visits to yours, I've got you covered! I do freelance work as a photojournalist, and my husband works from home, which allows us the flexibility to provide care and attention for our own dog, as well as yours. Our home is both pet friendly and pet safe. We prefer to let our girl roam while indoors, and we have a fenced-in backyard and several rooms with dog beds. We also have a large crate that can be used for short periods of time (utilized ONLY if requested.)

Ripley was incredible with my dog! I am very hesitant about leaving him, and she had excellent communication all the way through. She sent several pictures and videos and was so attentive in caring for him. She was absolutely excellent and so sweet and caring. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!!

Ripely was so flexible and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure our boys were taken care of while we were gone. 10/10 recommend and will be using her again and again!

Ripley was awesome! I had a last min family trip and needed someone to watch my moms dog. Riply was flexible with my last min plans, very communicative and my moms sweet old pup bonded with her immediately! She set lots of pictures and videos which my mom really appreciated and we could tell Peter was safe and happy! I would definitely recommend her and book her again!

Nico loves walking with Ripley! She is always dependable when I need a little extra help getting him walked and I know he’s in great hands.

A typical day

I enjoy outdoor walks at local parks nearly every day, but we can always forego a car ride and just explore the neighborhood. We’ll play fetch in the backyard, catch some Zzzs on the sofa, or soak up the sun on the deck.
