Pets

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.

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.

Rya is a responsible, dependable, and genuinely compassionate animal lover who has spent years caring for a variety of pets. Rya has hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pocket-pets, and fish. She understands that each animal has its own unique personality, needs, and routines, and she is attentive to providing consistent care, exercise, feeding, enrichment, and affection. Whether caring for energetic dogs, independent cats, or small pocket pets that require specialized handling, she approaches every animal with patience and confidence. Rya has a natural connection with animals. They seem to trust her quickly, and she enjoys spending time ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. She is also reliable, follows instructions carefully, and takes the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved pet very seriously. I am confident that Rya would be an excellent pet sitter and a trustworthy caregiver for a wide range of animals. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have her looking after their pets.

Rya is wonderful with pets! She has cared for my cat and dogs multiple times and I am always impressed. She is super friendly and you can tell she genuinely loves animals (and the animals can tell too!).
