Rikki was very good with our dogs. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates, so I felt comfortable while we were away. We came home to healthy and happy dogs. I would have her back to dog sit again.

Rikki took the best care of my dog, Wiggles. I normally am super anxious about leaving him for multiple days, but she was so communicative and sent multiple photos of him while they went on walks. Rikki provided me so much relief while I was gone on my trip and that meant so much to me. She’s very caring, friendly, and amazing with animals.

After a disasterous first booking through Rover - not Rikki - we were worried about our dogs and a new sitter. We met with Rikki before she came for the weekend and we felt comfortable with her. When we came home at the end of the long weekend, our dogs greeted us like we'd only been gone a few hours. We will be contacting Rikki next time we need a sitter.

Rikki was a very kind and patient caretaker for our elderly dog while we were out of town. We got regular reports and pictures and I would highly recommend her.

Schedule

I do during the day , about 4 hours every other day. I stick to the pet schedule as much as possible and make sure they get out for their potty breaks every 3 to 4 hours.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Rikki can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Once the stay is booked and you're ready to leave I just ask that you leave a detailed list of you're for pets/horses schedule. You can also email me a detailed list of the schedule. What's the morning routine, what time is feeding? I need two contact numbers. I need instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. Where do you keep pet kennels for pets that need to be transported, ect?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
