“We would HIGHLY recommend Rikki for your pet sitting needs! This was the very first time we had left our 2 rescue cats for more than a single night and we were super nervous especially since they are used to having someone home with them full-time. Rikki did a great job of taking care of all our girls' needs while we were away for a 4-day trip. She stayed overnight and left everything in our home clean and orderly. We even had a stray cat that we recently started looking after that she was more than happy to look after as well. We will for sure use Rikki in the future and are super grateful for the peace of mind she gave us to truly enjoy our vacation!”

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was young. I have raised many puppies of different breeds and I have experience with various personalities. I can take your dog for a nice walk or check on them and let them out into the yard. I've cared for friends' and families' and neighbors' dogs for 15 years. The past 4 years I did conservation detection work with my pups and now I am currently working as a dog trainer in Sioux Falls. I specialize in scent work, cooperative care, and tailoring enrichment to the individual dog. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to take your dogs out exploring and adventuring. I can take them on shorter or longer walks depending on what you need. I follow any guidelines left by the dogs' person to take care of them and keep them on a routine so they are as stress free and safe as possible.

We make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment for your pet. We provide attentive, reliable care for pets in our home, making them feel comfortable and safe.

About: Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm so happy to be here! I have 15 years of experience caring for and walking my own dogs, and sitting for friends and family. I know the importance of getting some exercise in for your fur friend, and how challenging it can be to find the time some days! So I am here to help, let me take care of that task for you! I enjoy walking and being outdoors and I'd love to have your pup accompany me! I also own my own home with a fully fenced in backyard, and I work full time from home, so if you need boarding or daycare services, my home would be great for you! I have two pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs, so if you are ok with that, we'd love to care for and keep your pup with us, too! I work from home full time, so it’s easy to attend to my pups (and yours!) during the workday. I can make a lunch hour walk or drop work easily. And afternoons and evenings are pretty open! I have a fully fenced in yard and I am able to let my dogs out as often as they need, and they would be perfect companions for your pups when staying here as well
