Availability
I currently am unemployed so I can be available throughout the entire week and at short notice. Hence, I put my availability to only need 1 day notice(to play any driving required as my partner drives me).

About Rick Franciscus Elisabeth M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I am in your home, I will treat it with respect, ensuring to follow any rules set. More importantly, I will love your pet and take care of them as if it's my own whilst still adhering to any rules and restrictions set such as diet, exercise needs, medication etc.
Information Rick Franciscus Elisabeth M. would like to know about your pet
Please always inform me of any special needs or behaviours to expect such as reactivity, resource guarding, nipping etc. I am happy to work with pets that require special handling or any other unusual requirements.
A typical day
With your pets it often depends on the breed what they need. This is especially true for dogs. With my experience of high energy dogs, it's not just important they get enough physical stimulation. Mental stimulation is something I believe is far more important. High energy dogs such as German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and other Shepherd dogs often require something to do mentally to actually become content and tired as they were bred to be constantly working and therefore physical stimulation such as running, walking etc will not tire them out but a good half hour of searching for treats or solving a puzzle for rewards will satisfy them.

Pet care experience
I have over 12 years of experience of taking care of dogs and several years taking care of cats. For dogs, my main experience is with German Shepherds as I have had them as family dogs since I was born as well as sometimes training my uncles Belgian Shepherds. Since moving to Scotland, I've had my own German Shepherd Chase(4,5 years old) for just over 2,5 years now as well as fostered Noah(2 year old Romanian Rescue), Maverick(10 month old Romanian rescue) and Kairo(6 month old Belgian Malinois). I am happy to use any specific tools, toys you may require for the dog, any play styles, feeding schedules and medication needs as well as do some basic training such as crate training, sit, down, stay, their name etc... For cats, I'm most comfortable with indoor cats as that what I am used to, feeding, playing and cleaning litter trays.
Reviews

Very communicative and accommodating. They did everything they said they would with updates. So very glad I found them on Rover and absolutely would not hesitate to use them again. Thankyou again to the both of you .


I was absolutely delighted with the care Rick and Emma provided for Bernie and Lori. Knowing they were being so well looked after meant I could fully enjoy my holiday without any worries. I received regular updates and photos after each visit, which was very reassuring. When I returned home, they had even left a detailed chart showing everything they had done, which I thought was a nice touch. I would definitely use their service again and would recommend them to others.

Another successful pet sitting over 5 days, I would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

1st time using the house sitting service. Absolutely delighted with the sitters, dog and home cared for. Would highly recommend.
