About Ria

Hello purrents, I'm Ria, a mum of 4 year old kitty who spent the first 48 hours of her life in a wall cavity. It was a struggle to rescue her at first as we needed to create a hole and used an endoscopy camera to find her in wall. I was so smitten and it's all worth the efforts! We became inseparable since then. In addition to this, I used to live with a 27 year old indian ring neck parrot for 8 years. He was treated like a son.

I currently work as a medical administrator.

I know how it feels like to have a peace of mind and secured knowing that there's a reliable and trustworthy person who could look after your purr baby or puppy while you're away.

I am a conscientious person and can 100% guarantee your purr baby (babies) will be well looked after. I always take instructions from the parents seriously.

I currently live in the Ellerslie area but willing to travel the central area/or close suburbs. I like to look after small dogs too. I grew up with dogs. My late dad was an ultimate dog lover. When he used to work at an airport, i lost count on how many cute puppies he received as a thank you gift from those grateful passengers he had helped.My eldest brother was a dog lover too and has too many memorable stories to tell. Dogs and cats have always been part of our family. I guess my special skill is I know how to create an instant bond with any animals upon first meeting. Maybe coz they could sense am a good person? 😂 hahah kidding.

I have this genuine desire to nurture and care for pets as they could love you unconditionally and don't judge you for whatever you are. I joined this app so i can find a reliable and trustworthy sitter who could take good care of my cat Kring while I'm away as I love to travel a lot! Just sad that I could not take my cat overseas with me. It just feels nice to return this favour and meet all different personalities.

I am available mostly on weekends or after 4pm on weekdays. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions. I can do other things as well for your household ei. watering plants, take photos/videos of pets, do the groceries, pick up something etc. you just have to let me know i am very easy and flexible.

We have been so lucky to have Ria look after our ragdoll, Mud for 8 days. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt loved, had enough company and played games with him every day. I think he's missing her now more than he did us when we were away on holiday 😅 Ria sent so many videos and pictures every day so we could see that Mud was happy and ok. She really has been amazing. I highly recommend Ria. She will always be the first person we reach out to, to look after Mud in the future. ♥️

Ria (and Sam) did an amazing job looking after Freya my indoor special needs cat. They responded to her chats, played games, did her interactive puzzles and administered her daily medications.  They also sent me regular updates and photos which were so reassuring. I wasn't at all worried while I was away and came back to a very happy little girl and a spotless house. I really hope they will be able to look after Freya again. Thanks so much Ria and Sam.
