Every pet has their own personality

Pet care experience

For about 3 year I dog sat bi-weekly for family members and family friends. I have an additional 2 and a half years experience raising a puppy of my own. I've had experience dog-sitting a wide variety of dogs, which include tea-cup Yorkies, Mini Schnauzers, Poodles, Labradors, and Pit Bulls. I am more than willing to work with any specific accommodations that your dog may have. I will gladly ensure that your dog has the required amount of exercise as well. I am also willing and comfortable with working with a household with more than one animal. Additionally I've worked in costumer service and entertainment which requires me to be aware of my surroundings and to be quick thinking as well as to have the ability to assess the situation in which I am provided and come up with appropriate solutions quickly. As lovable as all dogs are these skills are definitely required when taking care of one.

I highly recommend Rikkie for you pet! She’s watched my 6 month old high energy kitten and he absolutely adores her. I was gone for a week and she regularly sent photos during her stay making my trip stress free! My kitten can be quite timid and skittish but he quickly warmed up to her! I’d say my cat recognized her calming and safe presence.

Rikkie is a great sitter! She has babysat our two little pups on multiple occasions with no issues. She goes out of her way to take them on walks, and even goes over tricks with them. We have needed her to pet sit at the last minute a few times, and she always come through. Best of all, our pups love her! I highly recommend her!

Information Rikkie F. would like to know about your pet

Any information you have that’ll make your pets stay more comfortable is greatly appreciated. I want to ensure that any anxiety or apprehension is addressed the best way possible and in order to do so I would need to know how they present in your pet.

A typical day

First thing to do in the morning is to take a quick walk to ensure needs are taken care of. Then breakfast time. After breakfast is settled a nice walk or day at the park if weather permits. Otherwise fetch or other activities at home have to suffice with many quick walks around the property. As the day comes to a close it’s dinner time and a final walk and then it’s time to settle in.
