I work from home as a software engineer and have a flexible schedule most days of the week. This gives me plenty of availability for drop-in visits and allows me to be consistent with your cat’s usual feeding, medication, and playtime routines.

Safety, trust & environment

Honestly my cat is the queen of the house. She has 3+ cat trees and gets chin rubs and butt pats on demand. I will treat your cat and your home with the same level of care and respect.

Information Rick L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your cat’s normal routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and how they usually interact with new people. It’s also helpful to know about any medications, health concerns, food sensitivities, or escape habits. Happy to jump on a call ahead of time to discuss the visit more!

A typical day

I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their comfort levels. Happy to play with their favorite toys, give scratches, or simply keep company if they're more independent. Will also keep an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. Each visit includes a photo dump!

Review from the last cat: meoww

Cat care experience

My cat Momo is a 7-year-old FIP warrior, so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your cat while you’re away. I will follow your care instructions carefully, and have experience with common medication routines if needed (such as giving inhalers twice a day.) I have also successfully taught my cat how to shake hands, and can attempt to teach the same to yours if interested. Whether your cat wants an enthusiastic playmate, a quiet companion, or someone who understands that affection must happen entirely on their terms, I’m happy to follow their lead.

Rick is a fantastic choice for any pet owner going out of town or in need of extra assistance with their furry friends. He came over for drop in visits at our place and made our two cats and dog feel right at home. He send a bunch of really cute pictures and helpful updates. Rick also was able to make it around the same time everyday, something that I know we appreciated. Sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what a perfect sitter looks like until the right one comes along. We are absolutely going to try to book Rick again and strongly recommend him to anyone on this app.

4 years! Cant believe its been so long that we have trusted Bleu with Rick. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible guardian! He is thorough, sends frequent updates, and ensures Bleu is having the best time with plenty of walks and play time. I was so glad I found Rick not only as a Rover but more importantly as a friend for Bleu!

Rick did a great job watching my dog. He's usually pretty hesitant around strangers, but he warmed up to Rick right away and loved his gentle rubs. Rick is a nice guy, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I trust him to take care of my little guy and would recommend him to anyone!

I have known Rick for a year now and he is one of the most attentive and detail oriented people I know. I absolutely trust him with my dog and cats any time I need to take a trip.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
