Ricardo was great with my Dutchess. He sent me videos twice a day and I saw how happy she was playing with the other dogs.

Ricardo was great. He showed up on a very short notice when I needed his help. He walked Zeus and Luna and provided detailed information with photos. The dogs loved him as well. I will definitely be working with again.

Schedule

I am mostly available during weekends or week day evenings if needed for short visits to let your little one out. I do work full time during the week but my weekends are flexible. That being said I do have my partner ( Carlos) who has more flexibility with time. If I am not available he will be. Let’s have a greet and meet and we can take it from there. Please note that due to the high demand, we have set up a specific time frames for drop off and pick ups. Drop off can be as early as 7 AM between the hours of 7 AM and 8 AM or after 3 PM. For pick up times we do have a cut off during the week of 9:30 PM. This timeframe is only for weekdays. We are more available and more flexible on weekends.

I always ask my fellow pet owners four major questions. What allergies does your pet have if any? Does your pet take any daily medications? What times do they normally eat? And how often do they need potty breaks? As an experienced pet owner myself I know how important it is to know your pets background!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
