Highlights
Pet care experience
Providing the best quality of life.
With over six years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors and dogs with disabilities, I provide a level of care that goes beyond the basics. I understand that each dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their specific needs—whether it’s extra patience for a senior pup, or specialized care for a dog with mobility issues or visual and hearing impairments. What truly sets me apart is my personalized approach and commitment to safety. I’ve completed over 315 bookings and am proud to have a 80% new client acceptance rate, higher than 91% of sitters in my area. Many of my clients come back time and again because they know their pets are in good hands. Additionally, working from home allows me to offer a more flexible and attentive care experience than sitters with a more rigid schedule. Dogs are free to explore my home, and I send daily video updates so you can stay connected to your furry friend’s day-to-day activities. You can rest easy knowing your dog is safe, engaged, and cared for in a loving environment.

Rick took care of my fur babies great! Always sent updates, and answered back when I had questions. Coco and Oakley were happy campers 😊
Excellent care of our dog Max. Highly recommend Rick for boarding services. Thank you! 😊
Rick is amazing! He was so patient and flexible with us. Our plane got delayed and he went to the extreme to arrange pick up times outside arranged pick up time. Definitely will use him again! Thank you Rick for the communication, the pictures and videos and the text messages.
Ruby seemed well cared for. Would be glad to have Ruby watched by Rick again.

Schedule
Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. Since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just providing comforting companionship, your pet will never feel lonely or bored. I ensure dogs have plenty of interaction and can roam freely within my home, making them feel like part of the family from the moment they arrive.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority. I have a secure, fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore and enjoy the fresh air under my supervision. Inside, dogs are free to roam, giving them a stress-free and relaxed environment. I also send daily updates, including videos, so you can see your dog’s activities and know they’re safe and happy. With six years of experience, including caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, you can trust that your pet will receive individualized care tailored to their needs. I’m proud to have a 80% new client acceptance rate, which is higher than 91% of sitters in my area. That means I’ve been trusted by many, and my repeat clients show how much both dogs and owners love the care I provide.
Pets
A typical day
Every day is a new adventure for the dogs I care for! I provide a variety of toys and puzzles to engage their minds and keep them entertained. For dogs who love to socialize, they’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with a diverse group of furry friends that come through my doors. I make sure playtime is both safe and fun, and there’s always room for relaxation too. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the backyard or a cuddle session on the couch, your dog will feel right at home.

- It’s essential to know if your dog has any specific temperaments or behaviors. Since I care for a variety of dogs, it’s important that your dog is comfortable around others and not aggressive. This ensures a harmonious environment for all the dogs in my care. Please also share any special needs or quirks your dog may have so I can tailor their experience to keep them happy and stress-free.
