Important Notice for Pet Safety For the safety of my pets and yours, please ensure to book services with at least 3 days’ notice. During this period, we will need to schedule a meet-and-greet with both of our dogs to confirm compatibility. Only after a successful stay (boarding or daycare) will I accept future appointments without prior notice. Thank you for your understanding! Why leave your pet home alone when they can enjoy a safe, social, and loving environment? Bring them over, and they’ll have the opportunity to socialize with other dogs in the safety of my home. As a remote worker with a lifelong passion for dogs, I offer the personalized care and attention your furry friend deserves. Here’s why pets (and their owners) love staying with me: • Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your dog will never be lonely. I’m always available to provide attention, cuddles, and plenty of walks. • Experienced Care: With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, I know how to cater to their unique needs and personalities. • Medical Expertise: If your pet requires medication, I’m skilled in administering it orally or via injection, ensuring their health is always a priority. • Frequent Walks: Your dog will enjoy regular walks every 2-4 hours, keeping them active, healthy, and happy. • Comfort and Play: With cozy dog beds and a wide selection of toys, your pet will always have something fun to do—or somewhere comfy to relax. • Outdoor Enjoyment: Our patio offers a great space for your dog to soak up some sun and enjoy fresh air. Choose a dog sitter who treats your pet like family. With me, your dog will get the love, care, and attention they deserve.

For the first time, I considered hiring an in home pet sitter and I was extremely happy! Ricky sends meaningful updates and photos to make sure your dog is cared for. I love that there are other dogs around to help my dog get her energy out as well. Appa loved her stay and I would recommend Ricky to anyone for boarding, walking, and other services!

Ricky is a fantastic dog sitter! My little dog Roscoe absolutely loves playing with his two dogs and comes home all tired out. Ricky is very attentive to my dogs needs including administering medication. Roscoe is reactive on walks and Ricky is a pro at navigating this. Roscoe has separation anxiety and I know he’s in good hands at Ricky’s place. Ricky sends frequent photo and video updates of our dogs playing. He checks in if Roscoe is doing anything odd like not eating. I would recommend Ricky to anyone!!

Pets

A typical day

Dogs will be supervised by me as they play with each other or with me. They go on at least 5 to 6 walks a day. If the weather isn’t too brutal, we’ll all catch some sun on the porch (3’ fence all around).

Let me know of any dietary or medical needs ahead of time. I stress, we must plan a meet and greet prior to service beginning as well as proof of vaccination. Please ensure your pet is tagged. I will supply you with a list of available treats to confirm it meets with any dietary restrictions. Please inform me of ANYTHING I should know about your pet prior to our watch beginning. Same day booking is available once we have one successful stay.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
