Ducky had a great time at Ricardo's. The regular updates were lovely and it sounds like they did lots of fun walks together. She was happy and relaxed on collection. I would be delighted to book again in the future.

I left my dog Dotty with Ricardo this past weekend, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Ricardo was very accommodating in arranging a meet-and-greet with Dotty, and he was extremely flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times. The updates were perfect—he sent photos regularly, which was lovely to see. Ricardo’s energy is exceptional—calm, patient, and gentle—which made Dotty feel completely at ease. His apartment has plenty of space for dogs to be comfortable, and it’s clear that it’s very well adapted to ensure their well-being. It’s obvious that Ricardo genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after, and he took excellent care of Dotty. I would absolutely leave my dog with Ricardo again. Dotty has a strong personality and can sometimes be a little challenging, but Ricardo handled her beautifully and made sure she felt safe and happy throughout her stay.

Ricardo looked after our pup for a night and it went great. His place was very well set up for dogs, and we got fun update pics. Would recommend

Thank you so much to Ricardo for looking after Murphy so beautifully overnight. Ricardo made sure Murphy had a great day with walks and playtime (which Murphy just loves). Moreover, Ricardo was very caring, proactive and communicative throughout –and shared plenty of photos and updates! 🐶 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ricardo to anyone

Ricardo was fantastic with Murphy during his first overnight stay! From the very beginning, he was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. He kindly took the time the previous Saturday for a meet-and-greet, which was a great opportunity for Murphy to get comfortable and for us to ensure a good fit. During the overnight stay, Murphy was happy, calm, and well cared for the entire time — and slept through the night without disturbing Ricardo. I’m so grateful for Ricardo’s thoughtful, attentive, and kind approach. Highly recommend him!
