Huge dog lover and grad student
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Riva. I have loved dogs my entire life. I started taking care of a pup when my family adopted my amazing lab over 10 years ago. I started dog sitting for neighbors when I was in my late teens and absolutely loved the experience. I also have extensive experience babysitting and treat my work with dogs with the same responsibility to ensure their safety and wellbeing, while also providing opportunities for fun and exercise! In terms of scheduling, I can be very flexible for you and your dogs needs on certain days because I am currently a full time student. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are days which I can completely devote to sitting/walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, I am able to provide services between 6pm-8am.
Reviews
Riva was excellent! She watched our dachshund Lucca while we were out of town for a few days, and we came back to a happy (and properly-tired) dog. She was always quick to respond, and sent plenty of pictures!
Riva was great! She watched my 2 cats for a few days, and when I came home they were very happy (which is rare). She was flexible, provided daily updates, and even went out of her way to clean up a mess in the house. Thank you!
We love Riva! Our springer spaniel had a great time with her this weekend and was very comfortable in her home. He got plenty of exercise and affection. As dog parents, we were very impressed with her professionalism, responsiveness and overall friendliness. She sent photos every day and responded within minutes if I had questions. We highly recommend giving her a call if you need a sitter!
Riva was great! She took care of Basil all weekend, taking her for multiple walks each day. Basil was worn out from such an active weekend!

Information Riva D. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds! Before sitting, I would like to know if your dog enjoys being around other dogs and people and if there is a history of aggression/in what context.
A typical day
I can take dogs to a large field by my house. This park is a major go-to field for local dogs and, if your dogs does well with other dogs, would be a fun place for play and being social!
