Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new best friend
Not only have I grown up with large dogs for the past 23 years, but I have also consistently pet sat for families in need of a loving and reliable sitter. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see, so caring for furry friends is something that comes naturally to me! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Although I do not train animals, I do have experience in providing oral medication as well as walks, feeding, and love!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pet in your home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for according to your instructions. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own!
Ratings and reviews
I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Rikki! She has taken such amazing care of my Molly, and it’s obvious how genuinely caring and loving she is with animals. Molly absolutely adores her — and let’s be honest, dogs are usually pretty good judges of character. 🐾❤️ Rikki is incredibly sweet, responsible, dependable, and most importantly, someone I completely trust. She stays at my home while I’m away, and I never have to worry about a thing. Knowing that both Molly and my house are in such good hands gives me total peace of mind — which, coming from a slightly overprotective dog mom, says A LOT! 😂 She treats Molly like she’s her own, gives her plenty of love and attention, and I always come home to a very happy dog and a well-cared-for home. Finding someone you trust with your dog is one thing… finding someone you trust with your dog AND your home is priceless. Rikki is that person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Five stars from me and two very enthusiastic paws up from Molly! 🐶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rikki is a most responsible, kind, reliable, empathetic and respectful young adults I know. She adores animals and has cared for/ walked/washed many dogs and cats of all ages. She is a pet owner herself. I would not hesitate to leave my senior dog (or any pet) in her care.

Schedule
I’m currently in a transition period and taking a gap year, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! While my schedule varies, I have a very open and adaptable availability and can often accommodate different scheduling needs.
