Pet care experience

I’ll take care of them like my own!

I have been dog sitting/house sitting for 16 years. I love all animals and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve taken care of up to 3 dogs and 2 cats at once so I’m comfortable with many animals. I enjoy dog walking, great way to burn off their energy or taking them to the dog park if ok with owners. I don’t mind grooming or bathing dogs. I live in an apartment so I can take care of up to 2-3 dogs per day/night. I am very flexible to the type of training per owner, just let me know your preference. I have two cats myself so the dogs would have to be ok with them otherwise there is a separate room I can put them in for the day, nights would not work unfortunately. I’m in school currently for veterinarian and would love a small side job for extra cash.

Hello, responsible dog owner! If you are looking for a friendly, compassionate, and reliable person with whom you can entrust your pooch, look no further. Rikki is an exceptional caregiver of pets and people; I can say this confidently through personal experience. My wife and I have trusted our dog and two cats with Rikki on multiple occasions. She always goes above and beyond to make sure your pet(s) feel loved. I can't recommend her enough!

Rikki is truly amazing with animals! When she watched our dogs I felt completely comfortable with her and knew our dogs were in good hands. Rikki took them on many walks, provided them extra pets and snuggles knowing their humans were gone away. I also appreciated all of the updates and pictures she provided while we were away. It gave me piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. We would highly recommend Rikki to anyone and will utilize her in the future!

Schedule

I currently work 1p-8:30p so I would be able to walk/drop in early and mid mornings and late evenings. I don’t work weekends so if you need a getaway I can watch over your babies so you can relax!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard, not fenced in but have a 200ft zip line leash. I have two extra bedrooms if your pet needs some alone time. My husband and I have one dog who is 7 months and loves to play. I am very comfortable with specific needs for your pets. My goal is to make them comfortable in my home or yours.

Pets

A typical day

I will take them on walk, or provide at home entertainment such as fetch. If your pet is able to go to dog parks to swim I am more than happy to take them. If you have a kitty I will provide affection and toy play however they like.
