Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home or come for walks to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain routines, and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for your home. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Information Rya W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or preferences I can account for. I will follow directions carefully and provide specific care that fits your pets needs.

A typical day

I'll stimulate your dog mentally and physically. We'll talk walks with stops for sniffing, play with toys, and play fun games and cuddle. We can even do some tricks with treats if you like

Rya was absolutely incredible! She took the best care of our doggo and truly treated him like he was part of her own family. As an overly protective pet parent, I def sent her a thousand reminders and instructions, and she handled every single one with kindness, patience, and never once made me feel like I was being over the top (even though I probably was 😂). She was always punctual, incredibly caring, and kept us updated with great communication throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. She also stayed overnight and left our home spotless, it looked just as good as when we left. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loves animals, Rya is the one. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will absolutely be booking her again. Don't hesitate, book her now. You won't regret it!

Rya is so great with pets! I would 100% recommend her for pet sitting and dog walking. She’s stayed overnight looking over our cats, dogs, and fish, as well as stopping in during the day and doing walks. She is super kind and caring and you can tell she loves animals. She fed, played with, walked, and gave medicine to our animals as needed. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!

i’ve had Rya watch my 2 dogs and 2 cats 3 times now and she’s one of the best people I have gotten. She always shows up on time and is so respectful and caring with my pets which is what I always look for! She sends me updates on my pups which always makes me happy, especially on longer trips. She has both sit for me during long and short periods which is so awesome and shows accountability.
