Experienced, active, & trustworthy

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog owner and committed foster with Fetch Wisconsin Dog Rescue, a Madison-area rescue, for the past several years, your pup will be in good hands with me! My extensive fostering experience (I’ve fostered 50 dogs to date) has allowed me to work with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m very patient and kind, while also being a strong pack leader. I am also very knowledgeable about dog training and health issues. All of this means your pup will be in safe hands during its time with me. I am also an active person and will gladly take your pup walking, running, or to a dog park, depending on your pup’s preferences. My own dog loves to play and gets along really well with new dogs. We have a fenced-in yard so they can play together outside. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Rick is the best when it comes to sharing photos of our pups having a good time at daycare! We have had Rick watch our pups for daycare, a few overnighters, and extended stays and we continue to trust him with the care of our pups.

Rick is great in that he follows up on issues that he noticed and mitigated with one of our dogs. Our dogs seem to be very comfortable with him and enjoying their stay seeing as that they're eating much better during their overnight stay and coming home pooped out.

Best Rover ever! Rick was accommodation, friendly, and fun. Our dog had a great time and we felt he was safe and happy.

Rick was great with communicating with me when he arrived/left my home. He was also very flexible and accommodating to my schedule
