Sirius and Willow stayed with Rikki for an extended weekend when we went out of town. Rikki sent us pictures and videos daily keeping us updated on the dogs stay and their well-being. They were happy, safe, and comfortable playing with her pups and getting lots of attention! We will definitely be going back to Rikki for future trips since the dogs did so well with her ❤️ Thanks again!!

Rikki is wonderful: updates were regular and included both pictures, videos, and comments. She is also a dog trainer, so we felt very comfortable having our babies under her supervision.

Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!

Rikki did a great job watching Diesel at her house. Diesel loved his time there playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

​I have two very well-behaved and socialized dogs at home: ​My Great Dane loves playing with other dogs and is friendly with cats (if they permit!). ​My Labrynesse is a calm, older dog. ​Neither of my dogs is aggressive or territorial, and they adapt well to schedule changes. I have kennels available and plenty of space for dogs to run, along with constant access to fresh water. I also have a playful puppy who is energetic and currently undergoing training.

Pets
