About Riya

Hi! I’m a huge animal lover who’s happiest surrounded by wagging tails, happy paws, and purring cats 🐾

I’ve spent the past 4 years helping raise and care for my family’s beagle, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, playtime, routines, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to quickly build trust with animals.

I tailor care to each pet’s individual needs and energy level. Whether your dog needs a quick 20–30 minute walk, a longer 45–60 minute outing, or a slower, relaxed stroll, I’m happy to adjust. I love engaging high-energy dogs with play and activity, while also providing calm, gentle care for more laid-back or senior pets.

Safety is always a top priority for me, I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and respectful of each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and any triggers. I’m also very happy to follow special routines, training practices, or dietary requirements to keep things consistent and stress-free while you’re away.

On top of that, I’ve pet sat for friends and regularly walk dogs in my neighborhood, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities. I also volunteer with animal shelters, working with both dogs and cats, which has made me even more patient and adaptable. I love caring for cats too, and I’ll be heading to Montreal soon to look after two cats, which I’m really excited about!

I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, loved, and entertained while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure their tail keeps wagging the whole time! 🐶🐱
