Animals are literally all I do!

Pet care experience

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.

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.

Information Riva K. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

An average overnight at my place would include loads of play time with me and my own doggy, some serious butt scratches, as well as a good chance of getting some treats depending on the dogs dietary restrictions, of course. If I hear clicking while they walk I may trim up their nails while they're with me, provided parents are ok with this. But I can garuntee while they are with me they will always be under observation, and possibly given too much affection. If that's even possible.
