Safety, trust & environment

Since I offer dog walking, most of my care happens out in the neighborhood. I always keep dogs secure on leash, stay attentive, and make sure every walk is safe and enjoyable.

Information Riya J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or is a senior — I want to make sure I'm giving them the right care.

A typical day

A typical walk with me means sniffing every interesting spot, a good stretch of the legs, and plenty of fresh air. I follow the dog's pace and make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve.

Dog lover since day one

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog for 18 years, watching him go from playful pup to wise old boy. I've experienced every stage of a dog's life firsthand — young, middle-aged, and senior — so I'm comfortable and caring no matter your dog's age

Riya was an effective communicator and took great care of our 10 year old fur baby. Will definitely use her again!

I have known Riya her whole life. Her love for dogs has always been genuine. She's the first one on the floor playing with them, never runs out of belly rubs and scratches, and has the patience to keep going until they're happily worn out. She gives every dog real attention and affection, not just a quick walk and done. Any dog owner would be lucky to have her looking after their pup. I'd recommend her without hesitation!

Riya is one of the most naturally gifted people with animals I know. She has a calm, patient energy that dogs respond to immediately; they trust her right away. She’s responsible, attentive, and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of any pet in her care. I have full confidence that any dog parent would feel at ease knowing their pup is with her. Riya doesn’t just walk dogs. She gives them real love and attention. Highly recommend her!!
