Dog lover who gives peace of mind
Pet care experience
I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. Last September I lost my last dog at the age of 15. Dogs have been a huge part of my life and I understand the importance of finding a trusted sitter who will give undivided love and attention to a furbaby. I always had a hard time finding a sitter because I had such high standards for my pets. Now that my dog has passed I'd like to give back to others as well as spend time with dogs. I just believed they are greatest gifts and would be honored to cherish them as you do. At the same time give a peace of mind while you are traveling that your pet is in responsible and loving hands.
Reviews
Rickie took care of our two mini Aussies, ages 1 and 5, while we were in another state for a wedding. Rickie was very accommodating by setting up a meet and greet at her house and meeting us for a walk at our apartment for our pups to get familiar and comfortable with her ahead of our trip. Our pups were greeted with a pair of smoked marrow bones from the meat market down the street which helped them settle in on drop off day. Our dogs need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation and Rickie was great by taking them to a nearby park to run multiple times throughout their stay, walked them numerous times a day, and kept them entertained at her house. Rickie has a big fenced in grassy backyard which was perfect for our pups to constantly get out energy throughout the day in addition to their walks and park trips. Rickie’s friendly and laid back personality was great for handling our needy and high maintenance pups. Rickie kept our anxious minds at ease by sending us updates with pictures and videos every few hours each day. We are very thankful for Rickie being so attentive to our dogs’ needs and keeping them so well cared for. Rickie will be our first option for future boarding needs when we’re in the area and you would be very lucky to have her care for your dogs
Rickie was insanely sweet with my dogs. She was very patient as they are nervous with new people, but they took to her naturally. She never missed a check in and was happy to give us updates any time we asked. Will definitely be looking forward to having her look after our fur babies again.
I cannot say enough positive things about about Rickie! She watches Bruno for us when we go out of town and he loves her so much! She will watch him at my house or take him to hers, whichever works for her works for me. When he sees her he gets so excited (like a child) and cant give her enough butterfly kisses. You can see she is truly a lover of dogs, even my Lillycat. She doesn't simply make sure they are fed and taken out, she talks to them, plays with them. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your fur babies, I highly recommend Rickie! Wish I could post pics here :-( a picture says so much!
Absolutely would 100% recommend! Rickie is an absolute gem! She went above and beyond for our pups and sent us pictures with every check in. I’ll definitely be rebooking in the future!

I have a fenced in back yard. My neighborhood is very safe and easy to for walks. I currently do not have pets but I do have toys and beds if necessary to keep a dog comfortable. I allow pets on my furniture and if they need to sleep in a bed that is fine by me.
Home
Information Rickie C. would like to know about your pet
I do prefer to know of any special needs or medications ahead of time. If possible I think a meet and greet would be helpful so the dog doesn't see me as a stranger.
A typical day
I believe walks are essential for healthy pet living. I know dogs like a schedule so I would provide to their needs. I love playing fetch or give them their favorite toys. If owners request or approve, I'm happy to take them to dog parks or walking trails for field trips. If they enjoy sitting outside or cuddle on a couch I'm happy to oblige. I'm a rapid responder and will provide plenty of updates, pictures, and videos to assure you that your furbaby is safe and happy.
