Friendly and responsible dog sitter

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Rikki. I have extensive experience caring for dogs since I’m an active foster mom for dogs looking for their forever homes. I've taken care of puppies as well as older dogs. My apartment is 2 blocks from the Madison Square Dog Park - I love to take them there to play and get some exercise. Additionally, I work from home full-time and love taking dogs for long walks and runs during the day. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and will ensure a great visit with your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you! I currently work from home so I’m able to be with your dog all day. I love taking them for walks and to the park! I love taking care of dogs and treat them like my own. I send picture and video updates to the owners so they know they’re dog is happy and well taken care of :)

Rikki was the best! She took Hallie on last minute notice and gave her the best NYC day ever! She kept me updated with messages and texts and was super amenable to any requests and scheduling! If you need a rover in nyc Rikki is your girl!

Toby had a great time, he didn’t want to leave! Rikki is responsive and sent multiple photos throughout the day.

Rikki was amazing! She was good with my pups, gave frequent updates, willing to work around my odd travel plans.

Rikki was terrific! She sent pictures all day long, she updated us whenever she wanted to do something with our dog, and most importantly, our dog came back happy and very very tired. I would highly highly recommend Rikki to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Information Rikki G. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know how your dog interacts with other dogs (mostly to see if I can bring them to the park). I’d also like to know if they have any medication needs or specific needs ahead of time.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park to run around and play. I have been around dogs my whole life and genuinely enjoy having them around while I’m at my home.
