Rikka was a wonderful house and pet sitter. This was her first time with us and she sent photos daily, updated us about our pets behavior and left our house completely clean. So grateful we found her and will definitely use again!

Rikka is my go to sitter for Nico. She is always so caring with him, sends me so many cute pictures and updates and her dog Oreo is a great play buddy to Nico! I really trust Nico is in good hands with her and I can't recommend her enough! Thanks again 😊

Phenomenal communication and wonderful care. Absolutely would recommend and will be using her service again. She took great care of our entire herd and we came home to them all well loved in our absence. Rikka, you are awesome!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
