Lots of Dog experience

I have 10+ years of experience working with dogs in the daycare and grooming. I have owned dogs of all sizes and grew up with my dad's police dogs. I am home weekdays and weekends, love walking and hiking . The pets can sit on the furniture and sleep in the bed if that's what they are used to. I love all breeds and sizes. I have training experience so if your puppy is potty training I can keep them on your schedule. I do have a large truck and jeep and can provide pick up and drop off service's if need be but I am located in the Speuce Grove area. You puppy will have a safe and happy place to hang out while you are away.

Is it possible your pet is better behaved after spending time with Rikki? YES! My husband and I are proud owners of a 3y/o high energy, bully breed pup. Our girl Bonita is lovely with people however is still developing manners with other animals. Rikki followed every request we had regarding exposure to other pets, and training guidelines we are working on. Rikki matched Bonita's energy needs and communicated any behaviours (good or poor) which was greatly appreciated! Our furry friend was well taken care of and we didn't lose a wink of sleep while we were away thinking about her being cared for. Many Thanks Rikki!!

Rikki has looked after my Border Collie multiple times. She is incredibly caring and loving towards my fur baby. My pup requires special attention because she is so high energy, but it is nothing Rikki cannot handle. She has an extensive background in dog behaviour and has even helped me train my pup. Cannot recommend her services enough!!

Schedule

I currently work at work so I'm home most days with some short errands through the day. If your buddy is used to having someone with them during the day this is the place for them.
