Your pups fav vacation! :)
Pet care experience
About me- I’m Riki, a lifelong dog owner and currently work part time with golden retrievers as well (I schedule rovers on my off days or your pup can come with me!). I have experience with dogs of all ages (birth-seniors)! At my job, I work with every type of personality in dogs! I have also fostered dogs before so I have worked with all different types of breeds and energy levels. I can help with hopefully everything you are looking for! I can feed, bathe, clean ears, walk, train, check-in, and offer boarding services. Love sending detailed updates & lotsss of pictures because I understand how hard is to be away from your fur-babies! Hope to hear from you, kai does too :) (kai is my 4 yr old golden). About my pets- Kai is the biggest goofball you will ever meet! He is a 4 yr old golden retriever. He is a lover of all people and animals. His favorite thing in the world is ball, so we make sure to play in yard everyday! I crate him at night & would be happy to crate yours or have a cuddle buddy :) I also have 2 cats, they are both outside cats so they usually stay out when other dogs are here!
Reviews
Riki and her roommate were so sweet. My dog was immediately comfortable with them. She was responsive and sent me updates and even sent him home with some goodies. Would absolutely recommend.
I have used Riki several times and it’s always a pleasure. She takes such good care of my dog. Sends lots of pictures and it attentive. I have multiple visits already scheduled in the future. Highly recommend
I wish I could give more stars! Riki was amazing with Maple. From the first meet and greet I could tell that Riki was really in tune with a dog’s behaviors and needs. She was communicative and already knew Maple’s bio (which is pretty in-depth since I’m a helicopter Mom) before having her stay. She sent so many great photos of our pup, Maple, and I could tell that Maple was enjoying her time with Riki and her pup, Kai. Riki even sent Maple home with a wonderful birthday gift since it was her first birthday. I will definitely be booking with Riki again when I’m back in the area.
Rikki is amazing, she was so great with Leia and really went above any beyond to keep us updated throughout the day. This was our first time leaving our puppy with a Rover sitter and it could not have gone better. We will definitely be back, thank you Rikki!!

My house- We live in an amazing area hidden in Boyes Hot Springs, Sonoma. We have a huge front lawn (it is unfenced) where your dog will have the best zoomies & play ball all day! Or, if were not too sure about recall, I have a fenced back deck where we can play and run around as well! Other places: I would be more than happy to take your dog with us out on adventures during their vacay stay! We often take Kai to the baseball fields, the beach, coffee shops for whip cream! I would love to bring your pup just let me know if that’s something your pup would like to do!

A typical day
Our typical day- I try to help my dog stay very active both physically and mentally. We walk and play ball everyday for exercise, we go on lots of car rides and explore. Our neighbors have 2 very friendly pups that Kai loves to play with every-night around 6 to get out that last energy! We have light up ball & collars for dog safety and it’s so much fun! I love to walk in my neighborhood, we have a creek behind our house that my dog loves to play in! I also help my dog mentally with challenging games and training. The best way to have a sleepy pup at night!
