Hello - I’m Rick! I’m born and raised in Chicago, and lived with dogs all my life, and had a cat when I was a teenager. My girlfriend and I are passionate about pets and animal advocacy — we have fostered five dogs a various ages and breeds through a local animal shelter. We have provided lots of care and training to help them, prepare for their forever home. We are familiar with administering medication’s to pets as needed, and caring for special needs animals. We live in a house with a backyard and we are two blocks from a state park where we spend lots of time walking and enjoying nature. We’re excited to meet you and your pet and provide the care comfort and peace of mind every pet parent seeks!!
