Newlyweds, Dog Lovers 🏡🐶

Pet care experience

We're a pet-loving couple with a pug chihuahua mix we adore. Dogs have been part of our lives forever, and we’d love if you entrusted us to care for yours! Please note that, at this time, we are best suited to only look after small dogs who enjoy the company of other canine friends. Our home is not only clean and safe but also comes with perks - a spacious patio for bird watching, scenic walk paths, and an onsite dog park. 🐶🐕

Patrice and Ricardo continue to be exceptional. I can always rest easy when I am from King and he is on their care. I am so grateful to have found them and highly recommend them for your pet care needs.

Patrice and Ricardo are our go-to Rover sitters. They've cared for our little dog Cleo four times now, from a few days to more than two weeks, and they are great. We get pictures every day with comments on Cleo's activities, and they have no problem with her "elder dog" needs such as daily eye drops. Cleo is very happy and well cared for when we pick her up. If you book them you will not regret it!

This was the third time Patrice and Ricardo took care of our little Cleo, and we've already booked them for a fourth stay. That should tell you all you need to know. They are simply the best. You (and your dog) will not be disappointed!

This is the second time we've had Patrice and Ricardo care for our little dog Cleo, and we've already booked them for a third stay! They are terrific. Great communication with several pictures each day and regular updates. You won't find a nicer and more caring couple to watch your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

When providing in-home pet sitting, we make sure to give each furry guest our undivided attention by only watching one dog at a time. During walks, we keep the dogs we care for separated from other dogs to ensure their safety and comfort. At the on-site dog park, we only allow playtime when there are no other dogs present to prevent any potential conflicts. For added peace of mind, we have a doggy cam installed in our living room.

Information Patrice & Ricardo C. would like to know about your pet

Feeding Schedule and Food Amount: Please provide your pet's regular feeding schedule and the appropriate amount of food they should receive during each meal. Treat Schedule: Let us know if your pet has specific treat preferences, any dietary restrictions, or if there's a particular treat schedule we should follow. Potty Schedule: Share your pet's typical potty schedule, including the times they usually need to go out and any specific cues they give when they need to go. Emergency Contact and Vet: Please provide the contact information for your preferred emergency contact in case we cannot reach you. Additionally, share the contact details of your regular veterinarian, and let us know if there are any pre-existing medical conditions or special instructions regarding your pet's health. Behavior Details: Inform us of any behavior quirks, triggers, or specific commands your pet responds to. It's helpful to know how they interact with other dogs, people, and any potential sensitivities they may have.

A typical day

We start the day with a morning walk along the private walking path in our apartment community, allowing the dogs to stretch their legs and explore! Back home, we engage in playtime, which often includes interactive play with a variety of toys from our toy bin. Your furry friend will have plenty of company, as they get to enjoy playtime not only with us but also with our playful dog, Mia. After all the excitement, we like to wind down and relax on our spacious patio, where dogs can soak up some sun or do a bit of bird watching. In the winter, we like to spend our evenings curled up on the couch, where your pet can enjoy catching up on latest episodes of Survivor.
