Experienced dog care for you
Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Ricc! I am a student and have been working professionally with dogs since 2014, I have had dogs my whole life. Since I am a student sometimes I will be unavailable, I will consider this when scheduleing drop of and pick ups, and how your dog may behave with separation anxiety. I take in dogs of any breed as long as they are social, house trained, and have all their medical needs up to date (vaccines and parasites). I am open to taking dogs with special needs, please ask. My goal is to provide your dogs with a safe and familiar environment where they can socialise, play, and exercise with other dogs and people. Most dogs will get exhausted from playing amongst each other, those who don't will have many walks to ensure they are well rested while they are at my home. For meet-n-greets, I'll take your dog for a walk to see how comfortable they are with me and being away from you. If they are staying with me for more than one night, I would like to have them over for daycare to see their behaviour away from home for a longer period of time. I look forward to your enquiries!
Reviews
I love Ricardo .. Best experience ..
Rick was great--very aware and sensitive to Baron's needs as an anxious rescue pup. Thank you.
As always a great experience
Riccardo was fantastic with my girl Caye! He was reliable, attentive and flexible. He consistently provided feedback with pictures and updates, which was much appreciated. In addition, he was flexible with my work schedule and accommodating. Caye came back home socialized and well behaved! Would definitely recommend!
About Riccardo A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Animals are usually comfortable with me right away, but I'll usually spend some time letting them become familiar with me before we start exercising. Sometimes walking is a welcome distraction for our relationship. Ideally your dog will come to me for safety while I am providing services.
Information Riccardo A. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference for breeds. We will talk about your dogs energy level and see if they are a good match for my services.
A typical day
When dogs are comfortable with me, I take them on longer walks and hikes to get them tired so they can rest at home. Playing ball in the yard is usually a good way to finish off the really energetic ones.
