Columbia Univ DPT and Dog sitter

Pet care experience

1 Minute walk to Central Park! I love dogs, my sister and I tag team care so if ever I am not around she helps provide care for your lovely animals! Two sitters for the price of one! We have both cared for large and small breed dogs as well as other animals before joining rover. We are a Columbia University Graduate (myself) and a current student (my sister). We are both physical therapists by trade. I love to care for people in my daily job and care for dogs at the same time and during my free time. I Live less than one minute from Central Park! We are furniture friendly to our dogs as well. I look forward to caring for your pup!

Terrific! Would definitely use him again without hesitation. Flexible, accomodating, helpful, & kind. Cat returned better than when I left! Gave feedback & photo to show how she was adjusting. Best cat boarder ever! Thank you so very much!

Rick was great. He picked up our dog and dropped him off. Rick took our dog to the park every day and sent us lots of pictures while we were gone.

Hello: I am happy to write a testimonial for Rick. I have known Rick for several years. He is an outstanding young man. He is dedicated, hard working and very dependable. He is currently a dedicated medical student and has a passion for life. I know that he has grown up around animals and loved his pets dearly, engaging them in play, feeding them and taking them to enjoy the out doors. He has held jobs in the past as a lifeguard and babysat for twins! I would trust him with my pets and would trust him with my pets. He would be a great asset to Rover.com!

Rick is the kindest, most patient man with people and animals. Rick is a (soon to be) physical therapist, and his amazing bed side manner shines through in everything he does. His family has a puppy as well, and the love and devotion he has for his pet is incredible. He is completely dependable, trustworthy, honest, and hard working- I would trust this man with anything and everything.
