Compassionate & playful pet lover

Pet care experience

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!!

Ricardo & Cristina did a wonderful job taking care of our Milo! They sent us photos every day of him enjoying his walks & interacting with their dog. It allowed us to truly enjoy our Spring break with no worries. Milo was in good hands.

Ricardo and Cristina are a pleasure to work with. They are exceptionally personable, caring, kind and attentive. From the initial messaging, to a video conference for introductions, they were wonderful. Ricardo and Cristina did a wonderful job taking care of Fuchi, providing him with walks, care and treats. Fuchi was comfortable and well taken care of. I look forward to booking with them again. 5 stars is not enough! Thanks for the pictures and taking great care of my sons dog.

Ricardo is my younger brother. He has always had a love for animals, but he has a stronger bond and love for dogs. My brother and his girlfriend have a dog named Roscoe who is a member of their family. My brother is not Roscoe's owner and considers Roscoe a member of their family. My brother provides Roscoe with a safe and loving environment. My brother and his girlfriend are very loving and provide Roscoe with a lot of love and attention. I know my brother and his girlfriend have fostered dogs in their home in the past. Both of them are active and take Roscoe on walks in their community. They have also attended various dog events in the city of Chicago as well. They love Roscoe, the past fostered dogs, and dogs in general.
