Pet care experience

Doodle Dad does Doggy Daycare!

Years of experience with dogs in my household, including raising puppies though advanced age and more. Always a 1-2 dog household. Very spoiled dogs. Learning environment with positive reinforcement. Natural treats and food. Safe toys. Fenced yard. Volunteer and very involved with the Omaha dog community. Always enjoy having friends and family dogs stay over, after suggestions from friends, figured why not add my profile to Rover.

Did a great job with our medically fragile dog. Sent pictures and messages to update us on how he was doing. Would definitely recommend Ricky for anyone that needs a sitter.

Ricky was an amazing pet sitter! So reliable and communicative. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend!

Gigi and Daisy are always so well taken of with Ricky! They always come home happy, healthy, and tired. We can travel knowing they are safe and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. Dogs are trained and always receive positive reinforcement. Dogs roam the house and are allowed on the beds and couches. They have plenty of toys, treats as allowed, and plenty of filtered water. Also have doggie cams for my own dogs to check on them, when I'm not at home.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced back yard, dogs will play and run inside and out. My own dogs love to play and run with others. Lots of toys, new toys for visiting dogs, and treats.

How they behave with other dogs. Allergies (one of mine is allergic to chicken- so I take allergies seriously). Any dislikes or routines that your dogs prefer. I do not have any breed restrictions, but for the safety of my dogs, I ask that your dogs are current on vaccinations, and not aggressive toward any other dogs or people.
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.
