I’ve always lived with dogs

Pet care experience

I have always cared of dogs welfare. I take training very seriously and I self learned how to take care of dogs and how to communicate with them by reading books and practicing with my dogs during my whole life. I used to take care of my family dog since I was 15 years old and now just take care of my own dog and some of my friends’ dogs. I have a pet friendly car to move around in case we have to go to the park or for an adventure (up to 4 dogs) I usually go for a minimum of 1 hour walks, I like to walk dogs off leash if I trust them to do so, that’s why I also take training basic behaviour seriously and I like to do so. 🐕 PLEASE NOTE: - BOARDING service I offer is nighttime ONLY (no day-care included) with 2 walks (night and morning). - DAY-CARE (8-9am to 5-6pm) includes: +minimum of 2x1h walks +dog socializing +basic training -24h care = 220$/day* -24h puppy care = 270$/day* *more than 3 nights -10% off - Additional charge for pickup/drop-off service. 🐶REQUEST INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DOG: - How is your dog with other dogs, people and children? - Is your dog car trained? Will he/she go in the car with other dogs? - Is your dog house trained - as in does not destroy household items? - Is your dog good off leash? 📝 WHAT TO BRING (Optional): - Leash - Treats - Food - Dog bed - Toys (might get lost 🤷🏻‍♂️) Text me WE LOVE DOGS if you read and agree! Looking forward to meet your fury friend 🐶

Riki was an amazing dog sitter and took great take care of our 4.5 month old puppy Luna! He took her to a local dog park where she got lots of exercise and socialization with other dogs. Loved that he shared photos of her along the way. We would definitely book with Riki again next time we're in Whistler.

Donatello came back very happy from the day he spent with Riki. We loved receiving photos and keeping track of what they were doing. Riki was very careful and responded very quickly all messages i’ve sent. We definitely recommend Riki!

Safety, trust & environment

I think that one of the most important things for a dog’s mental health is to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment, like a fenced park where they can be off leash and express themselves.

?REQUEST INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DOG: - How is your dog with other dogs, people and children? - Is your dog car trained? Will he/she go in the car with other dogs? - Is your dog house trained - as in does not destroy household items? - Is your dog good off leash?

A typical day

I usually go everywhere with my dog so I’d do the same with your dogs if they’re staying with us. I will first go to fenced dog park nearby to test your dog’s behaviour off leash and basic recall exercises. If the weather is good and your dogs pass the test, we’ll most likely go for an adventure further than the dog park ? ? ☀️ ?
