Pet care experience

Animals are literally all I do!

A proud fur mama since birth, I have never been without animals (not just mammals), and even prefer their company at times over people. I'm a full time manager at a pet store/groomers, and have seen every shape, size, and age walk through our doors. I have experience with grooming pets as well as training them and believe every dog is different and therefore have different needs. But I find we need animals more than they need us at times, and they can even make us better people. They're not just our property, these are members of our family. I am happy to watch your babies and your homes. A neat freak occasionally, and a college grad in fitness and wellness, walks and play time will go until they need to.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Fur babies need a few, very important, treatments; lots of play, plenty of walks, and consistency in their schedule. Nothing's better than a pet knowing everything will be ok. Always.

Riva loves animals with all her heart. As a Petsmart manager, she knows what her animals need, and she communicates with them naturally and professionally. She has good common sense with her animals: she will do all she can to save them from discomfort, but she will not allow their discomfort (or hers) to keep them from getting what they need. She has a lifetime of experience with animals, and she includes them also in all her future plans.

Schedule

Besides my own babies, my neighbors always know they can ask for help when needed. I walk my dog daily and schedule playdates regularly. If I can't walk my dog, due to my weekend doubles, I too schedule walks and playdates for my babies. But I too am very specific about who can care for my children.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Riva can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if they are good with other dogs and cats, if they are fully vaccinated, spaued or neutered, and have been treated for fleas and ticks. As well as any health issues.
