Care for the pets in your neighbourhood
Riko connects you with pet owners near you for regular walks, home visits and overnight care. You decide what you offer, when and for how much.
Why Riko
Regular clients nearby
Plans with fixed days and times mean steady work close to home, with less travel between visits.
Your services, your prices
Choose which services you offer, your price per walk, visit or night, the pets and sizes you accept and your area.
Support when it matters
Emergency contacts, a report flow and a support team you can reach during a service.
Paid through the app
Clients pay in the app; your payout is sent to your bank account after the service.
