VetTech Degree, Large UNfenced yard

Pet care experience

I have a degree as a veterinary technician and have worked in local SPCA’s. I no longer work in the the animal world medically but I still love to spend time with new fur babies when their families are away. Being a pet parent myself I understand how nerve racking it can be to be away from the fur babies. In my home pets are family! I work my full time job Monday-Friday 8am-4pm hour days. If your dog gets along with my fur children then they can have the run of the house with them. My house is on 2 acres of land that is UNfenced. I do have a cable tie out that can be used if requested. I book out fast for pet sitting and have a large frequent client base already so please do not hesitate about availability and book tentatively if you know you are going away. Most importantly I understand that life happens and plans can change last minute.

Ricka was so hopeful and great. She went out of her way to be accomodating to our needs and treat our dog like a member of her family. Thank you very much.

To anyone in the area looking for a dog/pet sitter, we highly recommend Ricka Maye to care for your pets! Although she was not required to care for our home, she was diligent with flash flood warnings to ask if there was any way she could help. She religiously sends videos of the dogs and lets us know how they are doing. She goes above and beyond and we have hired her several times. We know that while on vacation we can trust that she is caring for our animals as well if not better than we do and she is amazing with them and cares deeply for them. 5 stars for Ricka!

Information Ricka M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any medical conditions that are known, who you typical vet is and contact number. I would like to know if your pet is house broken. I am a huge hound and bully breed fan.

A typical day

When your dog stays with me they will enjoy walks around the neighborhood, loads of play time and most importantly if okay with the owner trips to the local dog park for some fast paced play time.
