Ready to go, whatever the weather!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes from the time I was little, ranging from tiny budgies and pint-sized Pomeranians to 120lb Great Danes. I also have extensive experience with live-in sitting, and on several occasions have taken care of up to five cats for month or more. And that’s not all folks! I have also had and cared for a range of small pets, including birds, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, and fish. In short, I’m a flexible, versatile, and experienced sitter, who is here to help with whatever pet care needs you may have!

Rylie is such an amazing dog walker, she’s always in contact if something ever changes. Highly recommend Rylie with your furbabies :)

Rylie is an attentive, communicative, and caring pet sitter who I would be happy to use again! She provided check-ins at each visit including many photos and videos, accompanied by a detailed description of the drop-in visit. I really appreciated that Rylie was consistent in her communication with me, even when I couldn’t respond back to her right away. I would trust her with my pets any day.

Rylie was amazing. She took great care of our litte demon dog, Annie. Annie is super high anxiety, and Rylie did a great job of listening to all of our instructions on how best to manage her. We know they had a great day together because Rylie communicated throughout the day sending us lots of pictures and keeping us informed on Annie's temperament. We highly recommend her

Rylie is the highest quality pet sitter we’ve ever had. Our four dogs were so happy and taken care of this past week, we could not be happier. Also, she takes photos to document every visit to our home. Then there are the wonderful updates she writes after every business along with a detailed update on food/water intake and bathroom breaks. She is such a sweet person. Our dogs LOVE her! Amazing and mindful human!

Safety, trust & environment

I want to make your absence as easy as possible on both you and your sweet pet! As such, I do my best to keep up your pets usual routine and leave your house just as I found it, so that when you come back you can pick up exactly where you left off!

Information Rylie K. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has a routine or a schedule, I’d love to know what comes when so that we can make the transition into my care as smooth as possible! If not, general likes, dislikes, and quirks will also be just fine. I’d also love to know if your dog or cat has any triggers, so that we can avoid them as much as possible. One of my old dogs was dog-aggressive on leash, so I have lots of experience finding safe ways to work around potential points of stress and bad behavior, especially if I know what I’m up against!

A typical day

I’m a very go with the flow person, and love to follow your pet’s lead! If they’re in the mood to play we’ll pull out their favorite toy, or if they like long walks we’ll go on an adventure!!! I also have a chill side, and can’t wait to settle in for a good nap or some cuddle time with your pet once we’ve gotten all our energy out :)

I’m an early riser with several large breaks in my schedule (particularly around lunch) during the work week! As such, I’m the perfect person to call if your pet likes to be up and at ‘em in the morning, or needs someone to keep them company during the workday! I am also enthusiastic about hiking and running, so if you have a more active dog in need of a long walk, I’d be thrilled to get out and explore with them!
