Information Rika F. would like to know about your pet
Let’s make your pet’s time away from you as smooth and joyful as possible! I’d love to get to know your fur baby, the more details, the better. Please share their typical routine, including mealtimes, walks, and potty breaks. Let me know if they have any medical conditions, take medications, or have special needs. It’s also super helpful to know how they do around other animals or new people, what their favorite activities are, and if they have any fears or triggers (like loud noises, certain environments, or objects). If there are any training cues, house rules, or habits you’d like me to follow, just let me know. I’m here to help your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. And please let me know your preference for updates! I’m happy to send regular photos, messages, or quick check ins, whatever helps you feel most comfortable and connected while you’re away.
A typical day
I love making sure your fur baby has a fun, safe, and enriching time while you’re away! Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely sniff filled walk around the neighborhood, or some cozy cuddle time on the couch, I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For more active pups, I’ll plan playful sessions with toys, tug of war. For calmer pets or senior animals, I offer gentle strolls, lots of affection, and soothing companionship. Your fur baby’s happiness is my top priority!

Reviews
Highly recommend Rika, very professional, super communicative and truly loves dogs*****
Rika is the best sitter! She takes great care of Bonnie and is a great communicator. Bonnie is typically anxious when we leave her but never when she is with Rika :)
Rica is wonderful! My dog is so relaxed and enjoys his time there - which is not easy to do! He gets his meds and is happy when I pick him up.
Rika was great from beginning to end. She was flexible, communicative, and worked with us, even when we had to make some drastic changes to our schedule. 10/10 would recommend.
