Hey all!
My name is Riikka and I am currently 24 years old. I come from Finland and am now a student at Erasmus University. I have some extra time on my hands and would love to spend it taking care of either dogs or cats. When I was growing up, my family always had cats and a dog - her name is Muska and she is now 14. Unfortunately, they live with my parents and I really miss spending time with them. Thus, I am open to new furry friendships and acquaintances!
My services include dog walks and check-ins for both cats and dogs. I like doing long walks, up to 45 minutes, but of course, if you have a small/elderly dog, we can agree on something else suitable. I like to give the dog time to explore and sniff around during the walks. I will also check the water and give food if necessary after/before walk. For the check-in, I will make sure your pet is comfortable. I can check the water, give food, give medication, have a little playtime, clean the litterbox, bring in the mail, or also water the plants while I'm there. The time I spend taking care of the pet is usually around 45 minutes excluding the transportation to your place. During the visit or walk, I will update you with pictures and videos. :) Before the first time with your pet, it would be nice to get to know you and the pet more.
I am also experienced when it comes to dog training, and can teach your dog some basic tricks, such as sitting, giving paw, laying down, etc! I can also groom, and give oral medication for both cats and dogs.
I am available mornings and evenings, and if specifically agreed during the daytime. I have availability both during the week and on weekend. I will also take bookings with a short notice! :)
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Riikka

Riikka looked after my cats very well. She communicates well and keeps me updated with messages and photos. It's clear she likes animals very much, she's calm and relaxed around them so upon my return the cats were lovely and chilled out. She goes out of her way, beyond the call of duty, takes initiative. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
We came home after 2 weeks to happy and relaxed cats. Riikka was very respectful of our instructions and always came on time, and otherwise let us know if she wasn't able to do so. Great communications, always sent us comprehensive updates. Our plants also look great, even though they are not the easiest to care for. Hands down the best catsitter we've had. We look forward to booking her again for our next vacation.
