Highlights
Pet care experience
Help a college student athlete
I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping my grandmothers care for their dogs and later taking an active role in caring for my own family dog. I eventually got my own cat, who I’ve independently cared for for several years. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve spent the past 4 months working as an overnight pet sitter, caring for pets of all ages and types and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’ve also worked with children through babysitting and have experience staying calm, responsible, and attentive in situations that require patience and flexibility. My love for animals has even influenced my education. I’m currently a student-athlete at the College of Coastal Georgia majoring in Marine Biology. I’m passionate about animal care and treat every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to accommodate! My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Rya was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She stayed with them while we were out of town for the weekend, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She was great about communicating with us, kept us updated while we were away, and clearly genuinely cared about our dogs. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. We would absolutely recommend Rya and will definitely be booking her again!
Rya has taken care of my Great Dane & Vizsla many times. She walks both of them at the same time & does a great job. She has also pet sat overnight for us too. She follows my pet care instructions well. I know both my dogs are being well taken care of when Rya is caring for them.
Rya petsitted my beautiful Jack Russel Terrier Chihuahua named Daisy and she did an absolutely wonderful job. She was patient and loving and truly cared about the animals she was looking after. i highly recommend

Schedule
As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule can be fairly busy, especially before 3 p.m. However, I’m definitely open to working on weekdays as long as we can discuss the schedule ahead of time and make sure it works with my classes and practices. I have much more flexibility on weekends, with the exception of a few Saturday mornings when I have practice. I’ll always communicate my schedule and availability in advance so that pet care can be planned accordingly.

- I’d love to know about any quirks, habits, or special needs that make your pet unique! For example, do they have a certain behavior that lets you know they need to go outside, a specific routine they’re used to, or any medications or special care they require? The more I know ahead of time, the better I can follow their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to do my best to accommodate them!
