Pet care experience

Reliable, caring, attentive sitter

Dedicated and responsible pet care is my passion, and I bring two years of hands-on experience to every visit. I prioritize yours and your pet's comfort and happiness, treating every animal as if they were my own. Whether I am managing the needs of high-energy pets through active play or providing gentle care for our shyer friends, I maintain a consistent, safe, and stimulating routine. I hold a college degree and am currently in law school and through the year I have gained specialized experience with young and senior pets. In any emergency, I remain calm, communicate immediately, and prioritize responsible decision-making. I truly enjoy witnessing the unique quirks and personality of every cat and dog I meet. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels loved and secure in any environment. I look forward to building a bond with your furry family member and treating them with the kindness they deserve.

Rikka did an amazing job with our cat! She was attentive, sent regular photos/videos, and even made him some "Churu popsicles"! We would definitely rely on her again.

Rikka is a fantastic, one-of-a-kind sitter. She took care of my cat, Louis, for almost three weeks and treated him like her own. She was respectful, considerate, kind, and loving—I actually think Louis misses her! While I was away, it truly felt like Louis was on his own vacation, which meant everything to me. Rikka fully accommodated his needs, took the time to get to know him, and sent daily photos and videos without even being asked. Anyone looking for a worry-free, graceful pet care-taker can’t go wrong with Rikka. Thank you for your patience and care, Rikka. Louis will definitely be back!

Rikka did a fantastic job boarding our anxious dog Roux! She sent tons of pictures and went the extra mile to make sure Roux felt comfortable

Rikka is so kind, communicative, and punctual. She walked my family's cavalier and was very attentive and even spent longer than the normal 30 minutes. Knowing he has stomach issues she was extra watchful of making sure he didn't eat anything on the walk, plus she sent lots of great photos!! She has also watched my roommate's cat on a few occasions and gave them lots of play time and was sure to change their water multiple times and give lots of play time. Can't recommend her enough!
