Safety, trust & environment

I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a duplex on the ground floor (so minimal stairs). I can close doors as needed to keep the dog in a smaller space. I have a front yard and a small, unfenced backyard, but your dog will be on the leash at all times for safety reasons.

Information Riya B. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer breeds that are small/medium. All dogs must be house-trained. What type of exercise does your dog need and how often? What games do they like to play? Do they eat their food in one sitting?

A typical day

I have many games (sniffle mat, hidden treats, etc.) and toys for your dog to play with. If they enjoy car rides then I will happily take them on one!

Caring & Flexible Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life. I grew up with a small dog, rescued a dog 12 years ago, and currently have my own dog that I raised from a puppy, Archie. Together, Archie and I have taken numerous training courses, such as: FIT dog, Canine Good Citizen, Therapy Dog, Beginner 1 & 2, Agility, and more. Archie is well trained and I can work on commands with your dog, too, if you'd like. I have been watching dogs of all ages for roughly 12 years. I have experience giving medication. When your dog stays with us (me and Archie)- they will get plenty of exercise and are welcome to go on car rides with us.

Riya took great care of our senior special needs dog, two cats, and a dozen chickens. She’s an excellent communicator and we’re looking forward to working with her again!

Riya was the very best dog and house sitter! I felt so very at ease knowing she was there. She brought her wonderful dog too-at our request. And sent lots of pics of our smiling pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Riya!!

Riya did an excellent job caring for our 2 year old toy poodle while we are out on vacation as a house sitter. She fed him, walked him and made sure to send us a daily update with pictures on his activities - giving us the peace of mind he was safe and cared for while we were away from our little boy. We will be sure to use Riya’s services again the next time we need to travel and need someone to watch Wilkie at home.
