Safety, trust & environment

I like to spend time playing with dogs outside and get them tired. Then I take them inside so they can sleep in their favorite spot!

Information Ricardo S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requests! I’d like for them to be cozy while I take care of them!

A typical day

If you have a fenced in yard I’d love to play ball with your dog until he/she tires out. If not we can go for a walk/jog around the neighborhood, I’m looking to get in shape!

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!

He was great sitter for our dog and cat. The cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved all the extra attention, while our dog — who is usually shy around new people — warmed up almost immediately. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They followed all feeding instructions, kept everything tidy, and treated our pets like family.

Ricardo was great. On time, friendly and even willing to do a meet up prior to the start date to make sure he understands bigger dogs. Definitely would recommend.

Ricardo was great, walks went smoothly and I appreciated his photos and notes on how it went.
