Pet care experience

Your dog’s second home 🐶🏳️‍🌈

I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and taking care of them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to their routines, including feeding schedules, regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, walks, playtime, and rest. I understand that every dog is different, so I adapt my care to their needs and energy levels. I’m responsible, patient, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they feel relaxed knowing their dog is in good hands. 🐶❤️🏳️‍🌈

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort at all times. I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, calm, and secure environment, whether in my home or in the client’s home. In my home, I ensure the space is pet-friendly, with no access to unsafe items, and I supervise pets closely to make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and their routines are respected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions provided, respect the home and the pet’s usual environment, and maintain their routine to reduce stress. I always communicate openly with owners, provide regular updates and photos, and contact them immediately if there are any concerns.

We needed someone to look after our one-year-old chiweenie last-minute, since our usual sitter was unavailable, and found such a lovely, responsible and communicative person in Ricardo! Our dog went on many long walks, explored the city, went swimming and clearly had the time of his life without us. Ricardo is the best and we are so grateful he could look after our pup.

Ricardo took excellent care of our dog. She felt relaxed from the first minute around Ricardo :) We got big and thorough updates with photos every day. Ricardo has done enough and even more while looking after Disha. We would definitely choose Ricardo again :)

Doggy Day Care • Apr 14, 2026

Ricardo was fantastic, and we’re so grateful we found him while in Berlin. We were traveling and needed an in-home sitter while we attended a show. Our plans didn’t go quite as expected, as we were delayed and arrived later than scheduled. Despite this, Ricardo was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Because of our delay, we didn’t have time for a proper meet-and-greet, just a quick handover, but Kenya immediately felt comfortable. She sniffed him and settled in right away without any issues, which gave us instant peace of mind. Ricardo also sent us a picture, which we really appreciated. When we picked her up, she was happy and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely use Ricardo again if we’re back in Berlin and highly recommend him to others. Thank you again for your flexibility and care!

Before caring for a pet, I like to know important details to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. This includes: • Feeding schedule, favorite foods, and any dietary restrictions • Exercise needs and favorite types of play • Potty routines and frequency of potty breaks • Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies • Personality traits, likes, dislikes, and comfort with new people or other animals • Any routines or habits that help them feel safe and relaxed Knowing these details ahead of time allows me to provide personalized care, keep pets happy and stress-free, and ensure owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
