Highlights
Pet care experience
A lover of creatures big n small <3
<I’m fully vaccinated> Hello :) I've tended animals of others and my own for years. I have experience in tending small animals, fish, birds, reptiles, and various other animals. I have basic veterinary skills and can administer medicine, shots, or iv. I had a pit variety dog as a child and love all dogs, no matter of breed. I'm a lover of most living creatures including spiders and insects. I have impeccable character and get along with most animals. Kitties are super special and I speak cat well, meow! I enjoy dogs of all breeds and will tend yours as if they were my own pup. I'm able to feed your reptiles and other animals and have quite a bit of experience with various types. My additional cat price is $5. If you have a dog and a cat, you pay the main pet fee (whichever is higher) and just $5 for additional pets. Feel free to message me ahead of booking to discuss charges. I’m able to adjust the fees before accepting within Rover :) Distance for care: For dog walks or drop-ins: within 15 miles of S Salem, OR. For house/pet sitting: Very negotiable. I’m willing to travel within a couple hundred miles of S Sale to tend pets, even to another state. For longer distances, I would prefer a two night request. Msg me and we can discuss the possibilities :) I love to travel. It would be a pleasure to meet your furry feathered or scaled family members :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I visit client’s homes, I try to mimic what the owners do so the pet has the same experience lessening stress on them while their human is away. I am vigilant for escapees, even if the owner doesn’t report they may try. I’m also careful for safety of the animal while there. We all get in a hurry and if something a dog may chew is in mouth distance, I may put up and away to prevent any situations. I go slow with animals, at their pace, for petting and play.
Ratings and reviews
Riki did an amazing job checking in on our cat olliver and kept him company while we were gone. Our normally shy at first cat made friends with her as soon as they first met.
A+ communication, A+ dog skills! Would not hesitate to use again. Thank you Riki!!
When my senior Aussie was expelled from his long-time day care/boarding kennel, I was told about Rover as a possible resource. I found Riki, booked her for several drop-in visits when I needed to be out of town all day, and have booked her again for a three night house-sitting job. We met ahead of time, and I liked what she had to say about her work and especially how my dogs responded to her. She showed up on time on the days I was gone and responded quickly to any messages I sent. I am happy to have found her.
Came home to a happy cat and a clean house! I will definitely use Riki again in the future.
Riki is always so professional, sends great pics, and adores my dogs! She's incredible.
Riki is a great sitter. She sends pictures, communicates quickly, and is very trustworthy. We have used her twice now and will be using her every time we need a sitter!

Schedule
I have a full-time day job during the week with flexible lunch hours allowing for drop-ins throughout the day. My main schedule is M-Th 7:30-5:30 and F 7:30-11:30am. I work from home mostly so when pet/house sitting, a good wifi connection is necessary.
