Pet sitting with genuine love
Pet care experience
Growing up, I was the little girl who was best friends with her dog. I had a Bull mastiff of my own who I took care of myself. When I went to away to college, I got a Siberian husky, he was a high energy guy who was very spoiled. (Unfortunately he passed away in August). I have always done pet care since I was young because I genuinely enjoy being around animals & making sure they know they are loved. My home is a great environment for boarding. It is a peaceful safe & clean environment. I have a fully fenced in back yard, your dog is welcome on the bed & couches. I will always make sure they have water, and will give them lots of love! Making your animal feel loved, and assuring that they are safe, are the two most important things to me. I have experience with dog training, bathing, feeding, and ofcourse, walking. I also have experience caring for diabetic cats, and senior dogs. As a pet mom myself, I know how hard it can be to trust some stranger on an app with your sweet baby. I will be sure to keep you in the loop and make sure you’re comfortable and happy each time I care for your fur babe! Animals are always safe with me and that is a promise.
Reviews
Ricki was amazing! She was super knowledgeable about cats/cat care in general, and she took excellent care of our kitties during the holidays. Even my super shy cat Phyllis loved Ricki!
Amazing! Such a great sitter. Reliable and super flexible which is important for us! Great communicator too 🤗
Ricki was great. After the first visit our pup Ace was obviously enamored and insisted on saying goodbye to her. We happy to find someone we're comfortable with.
Ricki was amazing! I had an emergency, and she went out of her way to accommodate. Lucy got sick the day before Ricki was supposed to take care of her and Ricki went out of her way to care for her and make sure she was ok. 5 stars. Will DEFINITELY be using her services again. Lucy says hi and thank you! ?

Im always taking proactive precaution to assure that your pet is safe. Whether it be closing doors behind me, checking the fence to make sure it is closed, removing a leash or collar that could get caught on something, making sure their water bowl is clean and fresh. I also have no problem keeping their environment clean, if they go to the bathroom in the house I will clean it up.

Information Ricki S. would like to know about your pet
I am flexible and able to adapt to your pets unique needs! Be sure to share any specific behavioral needs your dog or cat have, if any! Animals also have their own verbal cues, and commands that they understand, so feel free to share those with me as well, so I can assure your dog or cat feels as comfortable possible.
A typical day
Enjoying the smells of the neighborhood, exploring local parks, playing fetch, and if the weather is yucky, playing a stimulating game at home and getting lots of pets and lovins!
