The sidekick sitter

Pet care experience

I've always had a very strong love for dogs having them around me all throughout my childhood. I would love that I could make money doing something I love so much as if it wasn't even a job. I'm very flexible on hours and availability. I'm all for giving dogs the exercise and socialization they need, to live fit, happy, and healthy lives. I've been a cook for coming up to 10 years now. I have my food handlers card and I'm cpr certified. I have 2 kids that are very good with dogs and love to help wear the dogs out as well with so much fun and activities. I Can't wait to hopefully hear from you soon and meet those amazing companions of yours!

This was our first time experience with dog sitting and we couldn’t have asked for a better or more caring sitter. We were concerned our 4-1/2 month old puppy would have severe separation anxiety, but Ricks family made our puppy immediately part of theirs. Rick kept us up to date with pictures and messages on her progress and well being. Being a puppy she required a lot of attention and Ricks whole family kept her engaged. We are very grateful for the great care Rick and his family showed our puppy and will definitely use him again.

Rick and his family are wonderful!! We loved the updates and felt like she was happy and loved the entire time! I’m pretty sure she didn’t even miss us because she was so happy. We will absolutely use him again! Thank you, Rick!

This was our first time using Rover. Rick was great, sending photos and updates of our puppy Louie and we were happy to see our puppy having fun and adjusting to a new environment. Couldn’t ask for a more positive experience.

Rick has taken care of Charlotte a couple of times now and we have been very impressed. She is treated like family and is very relaxed and comfortable with them. Could not recommend them more as a dog sitter.
