Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Care-Taker
Animals are my love and passion. I have owned, rescued and worked with animals for more than 15 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Pre-Veterinary Science, with a minor in Wildlife and Fisheries. I have worked with small and large domestic species, as well as exotic or wild species. I currently own a dog, a parrot, a turtle, cats, snakes, lizards, and fish.

Safety, trust & environment
In addition to doing all of the basic pet care such as feeding, walking, playing, exercising, cleaning litter boxes, etc., I have experience with animals that have long-term conditions like asthma, urinary tract disease, eczema, separation anxiety, and more. I can administer medications if needed. I have plenty of experience working with big dogs, including Great Danes. I am able to work with exotic species such as birds, reptiles, fish, mice, hamsters, and more.

Thank you 😊 for always taking care of my pups.

Consistency amazing in every way!
Ricki is the picture of professionalism, extremely conscientious, and most importantly loves spending time with my dog. I always have peace of mind when he’s in her care.
I highly recommend Ricki! She is very responsible, trustworthy, and provides quick and professional communication. I have had her watch my pet a few times, and feel so grateful for all that she does to provide excellent care.
