As a dog sitter, my daily routine includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship for the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being and ensure they receive the attention and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. I currently am an undergraduate student, who would love to give your dog the care and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. Starting at the age of 7 I was giving my diabetic dog insulin shots as well as grooming, bathing, etc. I trained both my dogs into being service animals. In my home, I provide a comfortable and safe environment for pets, including designated feeding and sleeping areas. I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I adhere to their instructions and routines while providing attentive care, ensuring their pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.

Information Riya R. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely, knowing important details about your pets ahead of time is crucial for providing the best care. This includes their dietary needs, any medical conditions or medications, behavioral quirks, exercise requirements, favorite toys or activities, and any specific routines they follow. Understanding these details helps ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for both the pet, you and me!

A typical day

I plan on taking the dogs on long in open areas, that allow me to play fetch with the dogs. I engage pets in various fun activities such as interactive play with toys, outdoor walks or hikes, games of fetch or tug-of-war, treats and trick sessions, and even puzzle toys or treat-dispensing activities to stimulate their minds. Each pet's preferences and energy levels are taken into consideration to ensure they have an enjoyable experience.

She is a fantastic lady to take care of my little dog. I strongly recommend her. I had one week vacation and I left my dog with her and I know my dog was happy.

Riya took very good care of my Rocky and she was very helpful and extended the stay when we were running late.
