👉 Loving Pet Care&Beautiful Photos

I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds for over 8 years. Through this experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of their body language, emotions, and daily needs — and I absolutely love every furry friend I meet! As a passionate pet lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own. With a deep love for both cats and dogs, I’m dedicated to providing each one with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Working remotely gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your pets, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and comfortable even while you’re away. I believe communication builds trust — you’ll receive daily updates with beautiful photos, videos, and notes to give you peace of mind. As an amateur photographer, I also enjoy capturing each pet’s happiest moments — from playful zoomies to cozy nap poses — so you’ll always have heartwarming pictures to remember their stay! Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being there for them, my goal is to make your pets’ time away from you as calm, fun, and stress-free as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I specialize in providing premium, dependable pet care, treating every pet as if they were my own. My focus goes beyond just meeting their basic needs; I strive to provide exceptional emotional support, ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and completely relaxed while their owners are away. I am highly punctual and meticulous. You can trust that I will strictly follow every specific care instruction and routine you provide. Communication is also incredibly important to me, so I send detailed daily updates. As a photography enthusiast, you can expect some beautiful, high-quality photos and videos of your pets during my visits! When it comes to House Sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I am more than happy to help out with small household tasks while you're gone—whether that’s watering the plants, bringing in the mail and packages, or taking out the trash. If there's anything else you need to keep your home running smoothly, just let me know!

This is our 3rd time having Rickey care for our kitties and she exceeds our expectations every time! She sends pictures and videos every visit and makes sure they always have what they need and more.

Rickey stayed with our 2 cats for a long weekend and did a wonderful job!! She provided us with regular updates, pictures, and videos so we could keep up with how they were doing & they looked to be having a blast - Rickey gave them lots of attention and play time. I appreciated all of the great care our fur babies received while we were away.

Part of me doesn’t even want to leave this review because I’d really prefer to keep Rickey a secret and have first dibs on her availability every time we travel. 😅 That said, she absolutely deserves the recognition. We recently trusted Rickey to stay with our pets, Flynn and Mae, while we were away, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we left, she provided detailed, thoughtful updates throughout each day along with the most incredible photos and videos. Not only did those updates give us peace of mind, but some of the photos were so good we’re genuinely planning to frame them. When we returned home, the house looked just as clean and cared for as when we left. More importantly, it was obvious that Flynn and Mae had been completely spoiled with love, attention, and affection. You can tell Rickey genuinely loves animals, and that love shines through in everything she does. She was respectful, communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive. Knowing our pets were in such caring hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about what was happening at home. If you’re considering booking Rickey, do it. Just maybe not on the dates we need her. 😉 We will absolutely be booking with her again.

Please let me know if your pet has any special routines, medical needs, allergies, or unique habits. I’m more than happy to adjust my care to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved.
