I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day and can easily plan around your dog’s needs. Morning and evening walks are part of my routine, but I can adjust to match your dog’s usual schedule. Whether your pup needs extra walks, playtime, or quiet downtime, I’m here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Information Rikiya Y. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For first time clients, a meet and greet is required. Before a stay, I like to know about your dog’s schedule, favorite activities, and any special needs — such as feeding instructions, medication, or quirks to look out for. I want every dog to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me!

A typical day

A typical day with me is filled with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone for long and will get lots of love throughout the day. We’ll start the morning with a nice walk around the neighborhood or one of the nearby parks, followed by breakfast and some quiet time while I work. Throughout the day, I take breaks to give your pup cuddles, play fetch, or go on another walk to stretch our legs. In the evening, we’ll head out for a longer stroll and some relaxation before bedtime. Whether your dog loves adventures or prefers to nap by my side, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for every moment they’re with me.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised my own pup since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the attention, patience, and love dogs need at every stage.

Rikiya took excellent care of our two pugs while we were traveling! He made sure all of their needs were met and even administered medicated eye drops and nose wipes to keep them healthy! We especially appreciate the care and affection he showed towards them. I would highly recommend Rikiya for your future Rover needs and I look forward to working with him again!

Rikiya was so awesome with my dog! He definitely isn’t the easiest to walk and they were able to complete all their walks with zero issues. Rikiya also was proactive and came to meet my dog prior to walking to get to know him and all his little quirks. I will definitely be using him again!

Rikiya was amazing! Texted and sent photos everyday on Bishops day. Always kept me in the loop on Bishops day. Will be requesting Rikiya to dog sit Bishop in the future!
