I’ll play with your pet & have fun!

Pet care experience

I am very passionate about animals. I am very patient, have a deep appreciation for all animals (especially dogs) and I am pretty flexible. I love playing with dogs, taking them for walks, frequent potty breaks, making sure they are well fed, cared for and comfortable. I am available during the week and on weekends usually in the early mornings or evenings. I have cared for pets, including my own for the past 10 years and many of my friends call me the “dog whisperer” because of the instant bond I have with dogs. I have a small chihuahua that is super sweet and gets along well with all dogs, big or small! Every dog that I have cared for loves to play with her. Dogs are very comfortable and calm around me regardless of their personality. I will make them feel right at home and loved. I also love Cats & Kittens too!

Rikka put our mind at ease traveling away from our cats for the first time since moving to LA. She was an excellent, knowledgeable pet sitter and we couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!

I don't usually write reviews unless I am extremely satisfied or the opposite. in this case I am extremely satisfied! I had last minute notice that my usual dog sitter was not going to be able to watch my dog for me while I was away for ten days. 3 hours before my flight I found Rikka's profile. After reading the amazing reviews and speaking with her I decided to book with her. from start to finish it was so smooth.... she was able to accommodate me on such short notice, she followed up with me daily with pictures and progress reports on how Bella was doing and eating... she even went out and bought a can of dog food for Bella the last few days! she was so kind and when I got Bella back she was happy clean and healthy looking. Thank you!! will for sure be using her again

I had a great experience with Rikka as a pet sitter. She is very reliable, warm, friendly and professional. She took excellent care of my dog and I would use her services and recommend her.
