Great care for your best friends!

Pet care experience

I am great at communicating with animals, and interact with them with true regard and love. I give attention to each dog or cat as the unique individual that it is, and appeal to their love of play and fun. I provide good boundaries, following training and key words that they are accustomed to. I enjoy "speaking dog (or cat!)," and sharing love and joy with fur ones. I notice how each breed or mix has its own unique way of being. I am at ease taking walks in town, as well as venturing out onto trails if more exercise is needed. Attending to weather and the comfort of your pet is always key - sun, heat, winter conditions, rain - and knowing your and their preferences and needs in this regard is an important consideration. I've lived with and cared for cats, dogs, snakes and horses over the past 37+ years. I have experience through all ages of the life expression of companion animals. Most recently my dear companion was the Siberian husky pictured in my profile. We were together a wonderful sixteen years, from puppy days through gentle old man days. I have availability to walk or check in and care for animal companions daily and weekly, with flexibly of notice and with established clients, even short notice. I am only offering care in client's home, on a stop-by for care or walks in the neighborhood arrangement. I would care for all animals with greatest regard and love, as the unique beings that they are.

River Lark was responsible for my two kitties while I was away for a week. She provided steady loving care for them, going beyond the necessary, to spending personal time with them. When another care giver didn't show up, she willingly filled in. She gave special attention to an urgent situation when one cat didn't return home, leaving food out for her and continuing to call her name, off and on for two days. Because of trust in Riverlark, the kitty did return home, safe and sound! She also was great at keeping me informed whenever needed. I highly recommend Riverlark as a pet sitter, for dogs or cats (or?), as she has a rare sensitivity and connection with animals and can communicate safety and caring to them, even in stressful situations. A1 superior rating for dependability and loving care!

Our animals love River Lark. Her care is patient and loving, with attention to detail. We have a younger dog with medium to high energy, and an older girl who takes gentle, patient care. Our dogs absolutely adore her and they have developed a special bond, and our kitty loves to see her anytime she visits. Plus, River Lark is timely and communicates well. We continue to work with River Lark again and again!

Your fur kids will be very well cared for and with as much love and attention as her own. She has a big heart and deep connection with dogs. I highly recommend her to for walks and care services for your fur kids!
