Safety, trust & environment

For your pet’s safety, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always secure doors, gates, and fences to prevent escapes and use properly fitted collars, harnesses, and leashes during walks. I supervise all outdoor time, monitor pets closely to avoid dangerous situations, and keep hazardous items like cleaning supplies or unsafe foods out of reach. I carefully follow any special instructions, including administering medications, and I stay alert for any signs of illness or stress. I’m also prepared for emergencies, with local vet information and emergency contacts on hand. Whether it’s adjusting walk times for extreme weather or sending regular updates to you, your pet’s safety is always my top priority.

Pet care experience

I’ve been consistently walking dogs and caring for pets for several years, with a perfect safety record and a passion for making every walk and visit a happy experience. Over 50 pet parents trust me to care for their furry family members thanks to my reliability, preparation, and genuine love for animals. I’m also fully insured, giving you extra peace of mind that your pet is in safe, professional hands. Whether it’s a stroll, a stay, or a playdate, I always come ready to make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for!

Ricky was fabulous with our 4 pets - super communicative before our trip and all throughout his time. Sent so many pictures and both dogs and both cats loved him.

Ricky, a caring and responsible pet sitter, prioritizes safety and fun while ensuring our pets are well-cared for. His exceptional communication skills are evident through his frequent text messages and daily check-ins. He truly made us feel at ease while we enjoyed our time away!

If I have to trust anyone with my dog it would be Ricky. He has taken such good care of my boy and I swear my dog gets more excited to see Ricky than he does me. Ricky is always providing updates throughout the day with pictures. I know my boy is in good hands with Ricky and he proves it each and every time. I’ve been having Ricky watch brewski for a while now and I don’t think I can go to anyone else to watch my dog at this point. Thank you so so so much Ricky, you’ve made brews life that much better.
