Reviews
Overall, River was a adequate sitter. She was great at replying right away when I reached to her and kept the house in perfect condition (she stayed at the house for two nights), she also offered to come back if there were any issues with travel, which I really appreciate. The issues I had could have been avoided with better communication from both side (myself and River). I should have been clear in my expectations, for example, how long the dogs could be left alone for and if they needed walks or not. River could have been more communicative on changes to her work schedule, which would have helped with my expectations. I think River would have meet all expectations and requests if they were clear and would recommend providing those when having her sit for you.
River has been a drop-in-visit-Rover Sitter for us previously and my dogs LOVE their time with her. River is communicative, timely, and trustworthy. I will not hesitate to book with River again (and neither should you).
We had a great drop-in visit with River. She responded quickly, was polite and kind, and demonstrated compassion and love with my dogs, who absolutely enjoyed spending time with her. I look forward to booking with River again in the future!
River was very efficient with excellent communication. I would definitely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment
With many years of experience with pets I understand that each pet has their own needs and routines. I am happy to go on walks, throw the ball for the pet, feed as often as required, go to the dog park, and spend quality time with the pet.
Information River R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you dog needs any special attention, is high energy, eats special food, or needs anything specific from me as a sitter so I can prepare ahead of time and best serve them.
A typical day
Enthusiastic about engaging dogs in a variety of activities tailored to their energy levels and interests. This includes leisurely neighborhood strolls, active playtime at the dog park, and stimulating games like fetch or hide and seek. For dogs that enjoy mental stimulation, I love setting up fun puzzle games. I also value downtime, offering gentle petting sessions for relaxation. Always ensuring activities align with the owner's training and care guidelines.

I am currently a senior at Colorado State University graduating in May. My schedule is very flexible as I am only taking a few classes and am happy to work with the schedule of the individual pet. I am also able to stay overnight and do school work at the house in order to give more attention to the pet.
