Highlights
Pet care experience
Active & Caring Pet Sitter
I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with a Rottweiler from birth until age 10, helping care for and interact with a large-breed dog every day. Since age 12, I have been responsible for caring for my family's cat, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring their overall well-being. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive pet care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

Rick also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special requests. I take time to build trust with each pet and respect their individual personality and comfort level. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to my surroundings, keep pets secure, and ensure they have fresh water, exercise, and companionship. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Rick was amazing! He was so kind and patient with our very anxious dog. 100% will re-book with him in the future!
Rick was great!! Very polite and friendly, super responsive over text, and took great care of our pups (and house!). We would definitely book Rick again!
Rick has cared for our pets numerous times in the last few years. He does a great job and our pets love him! I would highly recommend Rick’s services.

Schedule
This summer, I work about four hours per day during the weekdays, which leaves me with plenty of time to provide pet care before or after work. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate more time to walks, visits, playtime, and overnight care. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and attentive to your pet's needs throughout the week.
