Rikka did two drop ins for my cat Maya and did well with her. Maya is a queen and Rikka respected her boundaries. Definitely recommend her.

Rikka went above and beyond for my 6 month old kitty to make sure she felt comfortable and safe. She sent me lots of pictures and updates too! This was my first time away from my cat and she put my mind completely at ease. She has a kind energy and a safe presence!
