About the service

Having a tight working schedule? Going on a business trip or on holiday? Nobody to care for your dog or cat?

You don’t have to ask relatives, friends or neighbors for help taking care of your loved one. They often lack necessary experience or time to properly care for a pet, which is why you can place your canine or feline companion in the arms of a professional.

I am Kristine Leja, manager and cynologist of "Dod man kepu!" IK, and I will be taking care of all your pets – dogs, cats, rodents, birds, fish – at any time you are unable to do so yourself.

I offer full service pet-sitting:

pet hotel (guest-house hotel for dogs, cats and other pets)
pet care at your home
dog walking service

I established my company in 2006, becoming the first to offer this unique service in Latvia and the Baltic states. The first pet sitting services in the world were founded in late 1980s. However, already in Roman times there was a profession known as minister catellarum (catella – little dog, minister – attendant), which was a person who took care of pets of wealthy people. In other countries, such as USA, UK and Germany this type of service has long since garnered popularity and high demand.

In line with the best practice of pet sitting services in other countries, this service is ensured in the international insurance company „Seesam Latvia”.

My goal is to provide professional and reliable pet sitting and animal care services. The foremost value in my line of work is love for animals.

In case of a medical emergency I ensure veterinary consultations. Consultations are provided by veterinarians Raivo Murnieks and Anna Zalite.

I am visited by dogs and cats from all districts of Riga and regions of Latvia, as well as other countries, e.g. Russia, Finland, Denmark and Sweden.

I usually work In Riga and Jurmala, but if a client is interested, I am also willing to work in other cities of Latvia.
