Left both of my pups with nice couple for a day/night and my pups loved it. They were very welcoming and have a large property before the pups to run if they want. They were also very accommodating to the early drop off I needed to make it to work on time. 10/10 will use them again!

Ricardo and his wife took great care of our dog Lucky. They sent us frequent photos and up-to-date information on how he was doing. He was treated as part of their family. I Definitely will use them again. Great people!

"Ricardo M. is a fantastic dog walker and sitter in the VA Beach/Chesapeake/Moyock area. He's incredibly caring and treats all animals as if they were his own children. Ricardo goes above and beyond to ensure all their needs, no matter how small, are met. Highly recommend!"

Ricardo and his sweet wife were AMAZING in my last minute 1-week pet sitting booking. Not only did they send me regular updates, but Ricardo and his wife really adored and loved on my Zo Zo like she was their very own grandchild. Seriously, she was spoiled rotten with treats and cuddles. At first, I was nervous about leaving her somewhere new and on a farm, but Ricardo and his wife really kept a watchful eye, followed my feeding instructions to a “t”, walked her on a leash in the open grass areas and let her play in the fenced in barn play area often. Zo Zo loved all the scents of the farm, and she particularly really got along with Kissy their small indoor pup. Zo Zo now especially gets excited as soon as I drive down Ricardo’s drive way to see her favorite pet sitter (s). Even when in I am home, I ask Zo Zo if she wants to see “Pops” and “Gigi” — Names I affectionately taught my pup for short to associate with her favorite pet sitter (s) — she honestly goes crazy excited and nearly does cartwheels. She loves her Gigi and Pops, and I highly recommend no other pet sitter than Ricardo and his fam.

A typical day

I love to play and stimulate dogs. Playing fetch is still one of my favorite games. Depending on the age and personality of the dog I like to play different games. I love walking and I love walking dogs even more.

Animals are my passion. I work full-time from home and caring for animals is my lifestyle. I provide all needs including medication, water, walks, and tender, love and care. My wife and I created safe fenced doggie parks on our horse ranch to provide the ultimate fun and comfort for pets to not to experience separation anxiety from their furry parents. Our house is pet/child proof. I am dedicated to give the best environment of love and joy to animals they deserve.
