Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I would help out my neighbors wherever i was living at the time when they were at work. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a couple years and went through proper training on how to take care of and make both dogs and cats feel as comfortable as possible. I was finally able to convince my parents to let me have a dog and I have been the main caretaker of my golden doodle smudge for about three years now
Reviews
We were gone for a week, and my animals were clearly taken care of! Riya also took out the garbage and made sure my house was as neat as it was when we left. Highly recommend Riya!
Riya and Cameron did an amazing job watching our dogs, Minnie and Leo! We really appreciated the updates while we were away and could tell Minnie and Leo were having a great time.
My dogs loved having Riya take care of them. She sent lots of pictures - they were happy and could keep their normal routine. Riya is very conscientious.
Riya and Cameron take such good care of Bunny. She has so much energy and they have no trouble managing her! I think Bunny really enjoys having them both around, especially because she gets to play so much!! I feel at peace knowing my dog is safe and happy with Riya and Cameron, when we are away.

My dog gets two meals a day and a snack around lunch time. We go on a short morning walk and a longer evening walk after dinner. For overnight house sitting I would follow the routines that clients already have in place for their pets as not to change their schedules.
Information Riya L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to be informed of their temperament, it would just be so I know how best to engage with the dog. I would also like to know what medications they are taking and if they have health conditions. Other things I would ask if what the animals favorite playtime activity is or where their favorite scratch spot would be.
A typical day
I take them on walks and to parks, I tend to stay away from dog parks because there is too high of a chance for an incident to occur. There is a nature preserve near my apartment that my dog loves to walk through and since there is an even dirt road it’s easy to manage him even though he is a high energy dog.

I have recently switched jobs so I have a lot more free time on my hands and am finally able to get started with Rover after wanting to job for years. This way I can take care of and love on all of the animals and I can take some of the responsibilities off of another animal parent because I know it can be hard sometimes.
