Pet care experience
Rover Hi 🤍 My name is Charity and I call myself a professional critter sitter! Get to know me and my love for animals on Instagram @mrsrickmond Well versed in animal care of all varieties! Household includes: two dogs, four cats, one parrot, bunny, and a turtle. Property includes: multiple cow breeds, horses, donkey, goats, sheep, pig and chickens. I have been entrusted by friends and clients in multiple states to care for their livestock and critters and hope to eventually do so full time! No matter the animal, I’m confident I have the experience and patience to provide excellent care for your beloved companion! My home is perfectly set up for animal care complete with a doggie door, fenced back yard, 16 acres for leashed walks, and easy to clean hospice room for older companions if necessary. My husband and I are also converting our basement to the “zoo layer” where I have additional critter cages for boarding bunnies, ferrets, and other small critters. This includes safe sectioned off play areas. ✨Boarding: I accept up to three pups at a time. This means dogs staying at my home will likely have a play mate or two during their stay. I pay close attention to temperaments and behavior and can separate dogs if they do not get along. If you want your dog to be the only one at my home I do consider those requests for an additional fee and if booked far enough in advance. I also accept boarding requests for animals other than cats and dogs. If you need this service please message me for details and pricing (pricing depends on the animal and their requirements). ✨House Sitting: I very rarely accept house sitting clients. This is due to running my own mini zoo at my home and it’s difficult for me to run two houses at a time. However, my husband is a verified Rover sitter as well and manages our home when I house sit. If you’re interested in becoming a house sit client please reach out and I’m willing to come by and discuss your needs. ✨Drop-In Visits: because I usually have dogs and other animals in my home I usually only do 2-3 drop ins a day. If you need more than 3 please message me to discuss your needs and I can do my best to make it work. I do not bring my dogs to drop ins so that time is strictly for your pets only. ✨Doggy Daycare: we all dread leaving our pets inside during a long work week and I’m here to help! There is nothing I love more than happy pets and a day at my house usually does just the trick! Space to run, smells to sniff, water to play in, and friends to do it all with! If you’d like your pet come over but don’t have the time to drop them off, message me about pickup info. ✨Dog Walking: I’m not currently offering dog walking services. ✨Meet & Greet: I generally require a meet and greet for new clients prior to booking. A meet and greet typically lasts 15 mins to 1 hour. This is a complimentary service to ensure pets and their owners are completely comfortable! If the request is for boarding or daycare the meet and greet is held at my home. If the request is a drop in or house sitting the meet and greet is held at your home. I’ve very flexible with when as long as it’s before request start date.

We live on a farm the entire property is fenced. Additionally, we have a separate fenced backyard area for dogs only that they can enjoy at anytime through doggie door access! Pets that do not know how to use a doggie door typically learn quickly, but if not, they can easily be let in an out through the back door as many times as they would like!
