Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable 7 day in-home pet sitter
Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well.
Cat care experience
Richard also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….
Ratings and reviews
Rick is one of the most compassionate, kind, and reliable humans that I have ever met! He has been my pet sitter for almost 5 years now, and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is someone that I would trust to watch my children, my aging parents, and obviously my pets with. He's truly a wonderful man, and will give your best friend the care and attention that they deserve, while you're away. I couldn't possibly recommend a better pet sitter, he's the best there is!
Richard has been a responsible and loving dog caregiver for two of my dogs over the years, both as a puppy and as a senior dog. My dogs were always happy to see Richard which made it easier to leave them with Richard. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.
I have known Rick for over 30 years. We have had several dogs and Rick has dog sat on multiple occasions when my wife and I would go out of town. I never once had a worry about our dogs when Rick was watching them. I would definitely recommend him.
I highly recommend Rick as a dog sitter. He takes wonderful care of my two dogs, Flea and Lucy, every time we're away on vacation. They are always happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we return, which gives us complete peace of mind while we're gone. Rick also does a great job looking after our home, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the pets in his care. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter, I would definitely recommend reaching out to Rick.
Rick has pet sit for us several times. He has taken care of our cat, dogs and fish. He has stayed in our home with the animals. He is detailed, clean and conscientious. The animals love him. I have no reservations recommending Rick as a pet sitter, wether he’d be stopping in or staying at your home.

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. I am off weekends and holidays. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them.
