Pet care experience

Big fenced yard, no resident dog

Hi, I’m Ricardo. I grew up with dogs and had my own for 22 years, so this is second nature to me. I take one family at a time, so your dog gets the whole house, the fenced yard, and all my attention. Siblings welcome, they stay together. I have no dog of my own, so there’s no resident pup to compete with, and no crates or kennel noise either. Send me your routine, food, meds, potty schedule, and I’ll keep it. Photos and a real update every day. Happy to meet first.

I’ve walked dogs with him many times and every single pup loves him immediately. Ricardo is naturally calm and patient, and dogs always pick up on that.. they trust him right away and this really says a lot about him as a person. He loves letting them run around and be goofy, and he’s always down to help with baths, no complaints. Ricardo is truly one of the most reliable, dog-loving people I know, and any dog owner would be lucky to have him looking after their pup.

Schedule

I work from home, so your dog isn’t alone all day. Mornings start with a walk before I log on, then they hang around with me while I work, with yard breaks through the day. Another real walk in the evening, dinner on your dog’s normal schedule, and bed wherever they’re most comfortable. Weekends are slower with more yard time. I only accept dates I know I’m home for, so if I take your booking, I’m here.

Safety, trust & environment

My place is a normal house with a securely fenced backyard, and I walk the fence line and check the gate before every stay. Dogs stay inside with me, not in a garage or a crate, unless yours prefers a crate and you bring it. I host one family at a time, so there are no strange dogs in the mix and no group play to manage. I’ll make sure I have details on feeding, meds, vet info, and anything that sets your dog off. Leash on any time we leave the yard. If something seems off, you hear from me right away, and I’ll get to your vet or the nearest emergency clinic if it can’t wait. I ask that dogs are current on vaccines and flea prevention.
