Ratings and reviews
Rick did an amazing job of caring for Buddy. I feel Buddy received lots of loving and attention while he was there. Rick frequently sent photos of Buddy to keep me updated on how his stay was going. I highly recommend Rick.
Having Rick watch the dogs and house gives us such peace of mind when we travel. He is great with the dogs and sends pics every day. We have used Rick multiple times now and feel very comfortable with him in our home.
Rick was outstanding! He took care of our three dogs and chickens for over a week. He sent texts with pictures updating us frequently and we were able to have a worry free vacation! He is AMAZING and to top it off our house was spotless when we came home! Rick, we can’t thank you enough and we’ll be booking you again if you’re available :).
This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rick. He took wonderful care of our dogs, Stella and Kona, for 8 days and also looked after our home. Both dogs are timid, but Rick was patient and kind, and they truly warmed up to him and felt safe in his care. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were so well looked after. Rick was fantastic about keeping us updated with lots of wonderful pictures. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend Rick to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Rick is so good with our dogs and our home. He keeps me up to date and send pics and the house is always well kept when we return. We have booked Rick several times and will continue to use him.
Rick was fantastic! He took care great care of our fur babies and left our house spotless! During his stay, there was a bit of an emergency with our oldest dog, which he managed well. We will definitely be utilizing his services again, if possible!
