Information Ricky M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. I can accommodate most if not all situations. Let me know about anxieties and how your pet reacts to other pets.

A typical day

Dog park, fetch, long walks, hikes, playing games. Every pet is different, and so when Im playing with your pet, I figure out what they like. Usually it’s tons of attention.

Quality Animal care for your pet

Pet care experience

I love cats and dogs, and I’ve had pets my entire life. I will provide quality home visits to check on your pets while your away and provide photos and videos as well. I have a cat and dog of my own, and know how to interact well w animals. I’m available after 5 on weekdays and any time on weekends. I have cared for both of my pets since infancy and they are middle aged, so I can care for animals of any age. I am reliable, trustworthy and provide quality visits. I ask that you provide instructions on what you want fed or done to your pet, provide any special concerns of your pet i should be aware of. I look forward to meeting you! Thank you

Ricky has cared for both my dog and my cat. He is excellent with animals. He truly loves them and treats them like they are his own fur babies. Ricky is reliable and communicative. Highly recommend.

Ricky was wonderful with my two large dogs. He stayed in constant communication and was very thorough. I will absolutely use him again.

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.
