If you've been to Stone Dog Inn, chances are you've seen Nikki Ribeiro! Nikki started SDI back in 2008 and we are SO glad that she did. Nikki is almost always on site and is constantly creating new ways to make SDI your dogs home away from home. When Nikki isn't at SDI, she can be found snuggling up at home with her own fur babies - Whaler, Tucker, Sedona, Pigeon & Paco!

MAGGIE
Maggie graduated from UMass Boston in 2013 and was fortunate enough to spend the following years with an assortment of wonderful travel experiences and small city apartments. Ultimately, she found that there's no place like home and back to MA she came. After nearly a decade in the food service industry, she found her true passion was working with pups, and when she found SDI, she knew it was meant to be. When Maggie isn't at SDI making furever friends, you can find her hanging with her cats, driving all over the country, adventuring with her husband, or eating half a dozen donuts at a time--PVDonuts or bust!
