Safety, trust & environment

I will maintain your pets routines and can address if they need more or less exercise, an adjustment to their diet and other small tweaks. Totally ok with pets sleeping in the same bed as me if that is part of their normal routine. Will send candid pictures of your pet/pets to give you peace of mind and brighten your day.

Information Ricardo R. would like to know about your pet

If applicable, I would like to know if your pet has any food allergies or has ever been aggressive towards people/other pets. I would also like to know if your pet is good with car rides.

A typical day

I will spend the majority of the time following your pets lead. If your pet wants to be outside and active i'll take him/her for a walk or jog around the neighborhood or play with your pups favorite toys until tired out. If time permits and you are comfortable with it, I may possibly also take your pet for a quick bath if possible to the grooming shop I work at.

I learned about Richardo through a trusted source where he came highly recommended (rescue organization I foster for), and have used him twice for several days each time. The bottom line is that he is fantastic with dogs and I highly recommend him!! And I am picky! My dogs need to be with someone I like and trust. I have a somewhat older German Shepard rescue who is fearful of some people and things. My second dog is a young I’d say “spirited” Golden Retriever. He gets both of them. My German Shepard likes Richardo and warmed up to him immediately, which means everything. My dogs were clearly happy while I was gone and I could tell also when I came home. For example, this past week the wild fires in Canada affected the area so they had to be inside. He kept them busy with toys, etc. He communicates well too, which is important to all of us. I highly recommend Richardo!
