Athletic Dog Sitter Available!

Pet care experience

I myself have and love my dog. She is absolutely lovely and loves playing with other dogs. I give her plenty of exercise and ensure she's well fed. If I am taking care of your dog, I can guarantee I will treat yours with the same love and care. I don't mind having animals on my furniture (as long as they are clean haha) and I have a large floor house to accommodate plenty of dogs if they would like to all play together. I also have a backyard with a garden that they can run and jump in. I typically raise large breed dogs, Doberman, Rottweiler and currently I have a stupendously gracious female Pitbull rottweiler mix. None of my previous dogs have been aggressive and were very well trained.

Awesome! Awesome! I have been looking for someone to keep my fur ball while I am away, and Ricky has by farrrr been one of the best. Excellent communication and super flexible. I will be using him again :)

Ricky and Desi are amazing! We wanted our pupper to be in good hands while we pushed through a work schedule made hectic last minute, and thought they’d be a great fit - it is our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be happier about that decision! Ricky is an effective communicator and asked thorough questions about our pup and answered any questions we had with enthusiasm and a smile. Thru pictures and video we saw that Spike’s tail never stopped wagging while with Ricky and Desi, and knew that he was in good hands. Thank you for the great experience!

Ricky did an excellent job caring for my two puppies. He sent daily updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend his services.

Ricky is amazing! He knew exactly how to make a comfortable and fun environment for my dog when I wasn’t around. He walked and tired out the little nugget. I thank him and so does my dog!

Information Ricky D. would like to know about your pet

The only thing I would need to know about a dog is how aggressive he/she is and (clearly) if they have any allergies I should be aware of. If a dog is violent, I have experience controlling violent dogs but I need to know ahead of time so I can be extra vigilant around that dog and protect other (and my own) dogs.

A typical day

I have two parks next to my house. One of them is a child-friendly park with a circular lap pavement I could walk. The second park is a dog park where I can bring your dog to play with others. The second also has a much larger circular lap pavement. I have a backyard so I can constantly let your dog out to relieve themselves whenever needed.
