Pet care experience

Hello I’m Ricardo. I love all animals. I have a mini poodle mix named Lola. Before Rover, I had friends and family dogs stay with us for extended periods. I do long walks. Dogs need them! I always want Lola to make more dog friends. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Ricardo is awesome with Ollie.. even on a beautiful day when Ollie didn’t want to walk Ricardo carried him and kept him out to enjoy the sun .

Great experience with Ricardo doing a homestay with my cat. He was respectful and took great care of our 18 year old needy cat. Good communication. We will book again!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding and visits: I acclimate new dogs and build trust by going on long walks and spending extra time with them. During walks I keep it safe. Their safety is my priority. Lola sets a good example and helps the dog acclimate faster. We’re an animal loving home 100%. I have a closed backyard where they can relax outside, run around and take potty breaks in between walks.

Information Ricardo S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know you’re dogs feeding schedule and any favorite activities or fears! Also if they have a potty break schedule and any special instructions you may have. It would be my pleasure to care for them as you do.

A typical day

Morning walks around 7am. Backyard time during the day. We’ll run around, play fetch, hang out. I like to go to a few parks to let them run around a big field in the later afternoon. If not, afternoon walks around 5-7pm. Feed depending on their feeding schedule. :)

Im flexible and easy to talk to. Man of my word. Patient with any animal. I work part time and locally. Early hours usually and I have a flexible schedule. I work from home the rest of the time. I set aside time for Lolas walks, backyard time, playtime and snuggles. You can count on your pup getting a great caretaker and a dog friend.
