Ribika and Sam took such great care of our babes and kept us updated with lots of photos so we had peace of mind while we were away. They were great at administering our dog’s multiple medications and supplements, and they were flexible when we had to change our pickup time. Will definitely book them again!

I could not wish for a better couple to trust my Doggie Jackson with! They both are awesome and Jackson loves walking with Sam & Ribikah.

Sam and Ribika took excellent care of Rosie while I was out of town. I got tons of pictures of everything from walks to naps. They were a dream to communicate with and I would absolutely have them watch Rosie again in the future!

Schedule

Currently, Ribika is working as a freelancer and Sam works from home, so one or both of us will be home at any given time. Our schedule is flexible and we can easily work out what's best for you! If you prefer, we can host your dogs at our apartment or visit your place – whichever makes you and your fur baby more comfortable! While Ri has a cat allergy, we can still come take care of your cats and little kittens at your place. We just don't host cats at our apartment, but still love being around them and taking care of them!

Safety, trust & environment

Entrust your fur baby to us, and they'll be in attentive and caring hands. We genuinely enjoy time spent with dogs and cats and love sharing those happy moments with them. Whether at our place or yours, we're here to ensure they have a comfortable and joyful experience. Taking walks, going for a run and going to the park, are always a great time for us when taking care of dogs! We are also available to go shopping for and with your pets. Expect lots of pictures and videos of how much fun we are having! Ribika also has managed a social media page for a wonderful Pomeranian that we take care of quite often! We both love going on hikes, so if that is something your pet would love we would be more than happy to take them with us!

A typical day

While your dog is staying with us they will enjoy frequent walks around the neighborhood, trips to the park, and if they are adventurous and have lots of energy then a trip to Runyon Canyon or other nearby trails is very doable! Playing fetch and finding new exciting smells around the area. Then on the other side they are in the apartment, they will get plenty of love and attention, all of the scratches, belly rubs, and cuddles they could dream of. If they prefer to just lounge around and relax, they can cuddle up comfortably without a worry in the world.

Let us know ANY and ALL information about your pet please! Your dog's well-being is our top priority. Before we hit the trails, it's important for us to know any vital information about your pet. Here's what we need, to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk: **Health Considerations** Please inform if any allergies, medical conditions, or ongoing treatments your dog may have. Knowing this helps us provide proper care during our time together. **Quirks and Personality** Every dog has its quirks and unique personality traits. Whether your dog is a social butterfly, a bit shy, or has particular habits, let us know so we can tailor our walks to their needs. **Aggression or Triggers** If your dog has any history of aggression or specific triggers, it's crucial to share this information. This allows us to take necessary precautions and ensure a safe environment for everyone. **Routine and Preferences** Tell us about your dog's daily routine, preferred walking routes, and any special commands they respond to. This helps maintain consistency and comfort for your pup.
