Pitties and kitties run the world

Pet care experience

I've always had pets growing up and into adulthood. I have experience with a wide variety of species alongside dog and cat experience. I've cared for reptiles and rodents and livestock as well. I have experience with all ages and type of dogs, from small to big, needy to independent.

Rikki did a great job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. Loved all the photos she took and the communication was phenomenal!

Rikki is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever met! Rikki took excellent care of our new rescue dog who has many medical issues. Rikki is thoughtful, caring, and highly experienced. Rikki is also great at keeping us informed. She sees the best in dogs and gives them lots of love.

She's the kindest most beautiful person you'll find, super sweet and committed with the well-being of your pet. She's very reliable and communication is always on point. She tries always her best to understand your pet and treat them with love. She's tons of experience and patience with different personalities and behavior of your dog, you can tell she sincerly loves animals. I couldn't be more happy with her. She's your best option for walking or sitting your pets. I'll definitely pick her everytime we can, she's amazing and beyond!

Safety, trust & environment

I can be very accommodating for whatever needs your pets and you have. I can stay in your home or make daily or nightly visits, or both. I have reliable transportation and put pets health and safety first in all areas of my life.

Information Rikki A. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate for whatever your dogs needs are. I'm a patient walker if they have to sniff every single spot before finding the perfect potty spot. If they're dog reactive I can practice whatever rules you have set in place to make your dog comfortable. I'd also love to know if your dog is good around children and seniors so I can act accordingly when on our walks. It would be helpful to know if they have a prey drive to prevent chasing of small critters. If your dog has allergies or sensitivities with food or other known reactions I will be mindful of treats and ingestion of other things.

A typical day

Walks are my favorite, I enjoy exploring Kent trails by Millennium park, playing fetch in the yard. Finding the best stick around and watching squirrels.
