Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure any pet in any type of environment is comfortable, but in my home i have a designated spot for my lizard dracula, and he has his food, water , and proper lighting he needs. As a keyholder at work, I have to prep dogs for boarding so i always make sure they have their food, water, blankets and meds administered.

Information River W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if their are any special quirks or allergies i need to know, about your pet before hand so i can care for them, with the best of my ability.

Wow! Definitely recommend River. She worked with us over the course of a few home visits to get our nervous, anxious dog acclimated to her. Then we had her dog sit in our house for 8 days. They became best of friends. She kept the house in tip-top shape and even left little gifts for my human children. Will definitely have her back!

Thanks River, for your care of our boys! They are so calm and content when we get home when you've done drop-in visits when we're gone! It is such a relief!

Thank you, River, for once again providing our boys with such good care--as usual they were happy and calm when we got home--no desperate whining or rambunctiousness--they felt well taken care of! Thanks so much!
