Life is better with a furry friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of cats or dogs my whole life. Big or small dogs, young or old. At one point I had a kitty daycare in my house with 5 cats!

Ricardo is great with my dogs! His walks burn off that Golden Retriever energy. I highly recommend him.

I just filled out one of these and want to attach it to the last one I did. I also wanted to add that one of my dogs has seizures and needs medication. He is very good at getting Tito his medication along with his food. A couple of months ago while on vacation Ricardo was watching them my dog had a seizure. Ricardo was calm with him and took care of him during this and was able to reassure me that he was doing fine after that happened. I really appreciate what he was able to do for me.

I have had Ricardo watch my dogs for 4 days at a time while I am out of town multiple times. He has always taken care of them as if they were his dogs. My dogs (2 Basenji's) can really be brats at times and he has always been patient and caring with them. He has always been a lover of animals and shows it with mine. He would be fantastic at doing something like this. He truly will take care of each pet as if it was his. My dogs are always excited to see him when he arrives.
