Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, caring and always responsive
I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, often walking over to my grandparents’ farm to visit the cows. My calm energy helps animals feel comfortable. For the past 3.5 years, we’ve been the proud owners of Tos, our small labradoodle. From the start, we’ve focused on reading his body language to better understand his needs. This allows for more relaxed, quality time together. I’m confident I can provide safe, attentive, and enjoyable walks for your dog 🐶 When it comes to purry friends, I’m happy to give them as much love — or space — as they need.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rick is the best! We never have a single worry when we know he will be taking care of our pup.
As first time puppy parents, we felt a little anxious about hiring someone to help care for Milo, but Rick quickly calmed our nerves. He clearly prioritized our puppy’s comfort, asking plenty of great questions at the meet and greet. Rick was punctual, a reliable communicator, and took the cutest pics of Milo! We will be rebooking and highly recommend Rick without hesitation. :)
Rick was great! Extremely friendly, provided lots of info, tailored his walks to my dog’s extreme love of the snow. My dog is very attached to me but after a couple days he had no problem leaving with Rick and was sad at drop-off time!
Rick was great to communicate with and helped us with a last-minute request. Highly recommended, would be happy to work with him again!
Great with the (2 quite large and energetic) dogs, great communication and super thoughtful. Would highly recommend!
Very communicative, and great with my dog!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm currently working on setting up my own baking business, which allows me to be very flexible. Fitting your furry friend in my schedule would be amazing!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Everyone has their own house rules, and I respect those. Depending on your dog’s personality, I adjust my walks accordingly. Whether your dog loves dog parks, quiet park walks, or has a different preference, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate. I usually do not let dogs off leash, except in gated dog parks. I also carry a (very) long leash, which allows dogs to explore safely.
Pets
A typical day
I usually plan calm walks through green areas, giving dogs time to explore, sniff, and relax. I love to put their noses to work, and for example hide treats in tree bark 🐶🌳
