Very Active Caretaker!

Pet care experience

We are a trio (Riven, Matt, Jason) that have mostly work from home schedules. We have individual Rover verified profiles, and this one is Rivens. I have lived with cats, dogs, and animals of all sorts my whole life. After growing up on a farm and being a founding member of the local 4H Club, my love for animals continued to fostering through rescues, volunteering, and my own pets such as my now passed 17 year cat named Moya, whom I had had since she was a few months old. For dogs, I am very active, and will love taking your furry family on long trails, swims, or dog parks! We around a lot of dogs over the course of the week, so we are unable to on any dogs that will not do well with others for more than an over night. If you have feline family, I am happy to play with crinkle balls, laser pointers, or be a lap as needed.

Riven and family took great care of our dog and sent lots of updates and pictures, which made us feel really good about her stay with them!

Riven and Matt are very experienced in dog care. Dexter was well taken care of, he was happy and quite himself when we picked him up. I highly recommend Riven and Matt.
