Pet care experience

I love animals I grew up raising beagles as a kid! I was in charge of everything from feeding, and even taking care of the litters! I am very patient and pro active when it comes to dog and puppy proofing homes! I understand the diversity of dogs some are shy some are hyper all are welcome! Dogs and cats absolutely love me! This is my dream job and I'm so glad i have this opportunity to work with rover and start my own business! Thank you for the opportunity to watch over your pet and or give them the exercise they need as well as my self for that matter! I understand that life sometimes gets in the way and pets need to be watched!!! *** prices are not final, there will be additional costs for travel, and or petcare involvement! Contact for a quote, looking forward to hearing from you!*** I do offer $5 discount for repeat weekly walks/drop-ins, after the first week!

Ricky was so great with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation for a week. He was Very responsive to text messages, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. My cats were a bit elusive and hesitant at first, but once I saw pictures of both of them interacting with Ricky, I was put at ease knowing they trusted him.
