Pet care experience

Fully capable and experienced in all things dog and pet. In 2007 I became the co-owner of "Dog Days" a pet store which expanded to two locations on Long Island. We offered services from grooming, training, daycare and boarding at our facility to in-home. It was an excellent experience that provided me with an immense knowledge base in all things dog. I just got back to the city from traveling for the past few months, mostly in Asia and Europe and I'm currently a writer working on developing a few projects I started on my travels. So, I thought this would be a great thing to do to occupy my time, fufill a financial hole and hang with some rad pets, win-win. Kind Regards, Rickey

Rickey is a wonderful dog sitter! He is passionate, caring, and indeed one of the best dog sitters that I've encountered so far. Rickey took great care of Dino for more than a month when I was away. He followed all my instructions in terms of taking care of Dino. He would always send me Dino's pictures and update me about how Dino was doing. I'm truly grateful for what Rickey has done for Dino. If you're looking for a dog sitter, Rickey is definitely the one you should go to!

From my initial meeting with Rickey, I was certain he was the perfect person to care for Tucker while I was away for several days. It only took a few minutes to feel at ease and comfortable with Rickey and it was obvious he had an instant connection with Tucker. Rickey kept me posted daily regarding Tucker's care and provided photos of Tucker throughout my time away. I will certainly have Rickey care for Tucker in the future and I'd highly recommend him for any pet care needs you may have.

Rickey is a very responsible person and has exceeded all of my expectations when meeting him. He was very respectful of all of my demands and completed each task with the highest respect. I would highly recommend him for anything that is put his way. He’s a genuine and personable person and great at what he does. You will be completely satisfied with him.

I have been using Rickey for over 4 years now watching my Shih Tzu. He is the most fabulous, caring, professional and loving pet sitter. I have gone thru many pet sitters and there is absolutely NO comparison of any other. I have had. I love Rickey and what is even better is I know HE LOVES OUR PETS! He always texts and sends me photographs of Jax so that I know he is being well cared for. Again, my utmost appreciation for his consistent, high quality service that provides me piece-of-mind!! :)
