Friendly & easygoing walker & sitter

Pet care experience

I've had pets most of my life (dogs, cats, birds, turtles), and I've walked/taken care of other people's pets plenty through the years. I love the company of animals, and their adorable antics! When it comes to pets, I believe in building trust and a healthy relationship where pets can feel safe and comfortable.

Great communication from Ricky, and Georgie had a good walk with him every day as requested. He coped well with Georgie’s physicality and reactivity. A highly recommended walker whose services we’ll definitely be using again 😊

Ricky has take care of my cat a couple of times in the past, both for an evening and for a few days. He is very caring and responsable, had no problem what so ever, he is very patient with cats (my cat is a difficult one), and my cat love him for that. I am very haappy I choose him to do this job :)

Ricky has a wonderful connection with animals, is trustworthy and flexible, and he is wonderful with dogs and cats alike. Our cat needs medication administered and he is wonderful with her, she is so calm when he does it! He is truly a Dr Doolittle 😄

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to sitting, I aim to fit in to your pet's usual routine and make sure all their needs are met, from feeding to exercise to companionship. Some pets require plenty of playtime and activity, and some just want a friend to relax with - I'm fine with both! Of course, I'll be happy to discuss any specific requirements your pets might have.

Information Ricky S. would like to know about your pet

I'll be happy to discuss any specific requirements your pets might have - in terms of diet, exercise, medication, interaction with people and other animals etc.

A typical day

I like to make sure pets are happy and healthy! An average day of talking care of dogs would be walking in the park, playing in the garden, and anything else they need to fulfil their needs. Cats generally prefer quiet cuddle time, but I also love keeping them entertained with their favourite toys!
