Pet care experience

Life’s better with furry babies!

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!

Pets

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!

House Sitting • mag 29, 2026

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.
