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. 🐶❤️🏳️‍🌈

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!

Ricardo is great! - our dog had a very good and safe time with him 😊 He feed our 2 year old mixed Labrador as per instructions and gave him a lot of love and nice walks! We will definitely book Ricardo’s time again whenever we need someone to take a good care of our fluff 🥰

Ricardo took great care of Mochi, despite her being afraid of strangers and very shy. She got plenty of walks and I received regular updates and photos of Mochi. I would (and have already) book Ricardo again the next time I’m out of town and can’t take Mochi with me

Ricardo took amazing care of my two dogs, Bola and Max, and I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. From the very beginning, he showed genuine love, patience, and attention, which helped them quickly trust him and feel completely comfortable. They grew very attached to him and always came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. He treats every pet like family, is extremely attentive to details, reliable with routines, and truly cares about their happiness, safety, and overall well-being. I highly recommend Ricardo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.

As a student, I spend much of my time at home, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I organize my routine around the pet’s needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

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.

A typical day

I make sure pets have a fun and engaging day. Dogs enjoy walks, playtime, and cuddles, while cats get gentle play, interactive toys, and cozy resting spots. I adapt activities to each pet’s personality and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day.

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.
