Pet care experience
I can work with cats and dogs of all kinds, and to make sure I can work with your pets, let’s schedule a meet and greet! I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your pet needs. This wasn’t an option on Rover but I am also available to care for fish, hamsters, and other small animals, along with cats and dogs 😊
Reviews
Rick has been caring for my cats for about 6 years. They are lost without constant human affection, and he provides that and more. They both get injections, one on occasion for allergies and one twice a day for insulin and he’s been able to do both without issue. Most importantly, though, my cats adore him. He knows them and their personalities very well. He’s incredibly loving and attentive to them. My cats are my children and I am very particular about who I feel comfortable leaving them with, and Rick has always treated them as his own. Rick is an incredible cat dad to MacGruber. He knows every one of MacGruber’s vocalizations and what they mean. Rick is also a doggie dad to an insane chocolate lab and should win an award for the feats of patience he performs daily. When you select Rick as your sitter you will have peace of mind they are well cared for by someone who is a natural with animals.
About Rick C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
It is extremely important to establish trust. From a salty cat to a skiddish dog, moving at their speed and attention to their details is a must. I am happy to let your pet sniff me all over until they are comfortable 😊 Let’s talk about and plan for your pet’s specific needs!
Information Rick C. would like to know about your pet
Dogs: do they jump? Are they aggressive? If you were to hand your dog off to a stranger, what would you want them to know? Cats: what are their temperaments? Do they like attention or do they like being left alone? Or some combination of the two? Let me know about your pet's personality :)
A typical day
When we speak / meet, we will discuss all the fun activities I can provide for your pets while I take care of them. Do your cats like lasers? Does your dog play fetch and run around? We will come up with a plan to keep your pets engaged!

Availability
