Pet care experience

I truly enjoy being around dogs. My friends and family have had me watching their dogs for the past 3 years in ouray. Keeps me active and a positive mind

What a great service, Ricky was a pleasure to have watch my pup. He was sending me pictures of where the dog will sleep and during the stay. I had a great piece of mind cause my dog has some separation anxiety, but Ricky was patient and helped ease Bobby with lots of walks to the dog parks in the area. Over all Ricky was a pleasure to work with and my dog had a paw-some time. Would definitely book again in the future!!

Unfortunately this was not a great experience for our dog. It was evident that Ricky really loves dogs, but he is not currently set up to host them in a reasonable way. He lives in a small apartment on the second floor that is only accessible by an outdoor, grated staircase - that both terrified our dog and hurt his paws. A dog with smaller paws would not be able to walk up the stairs without assistance. Ultimately the weekend turned out ok, our dog (who is usually easy going) just came back tenderfooted and anxious — but without any real harm done.

Ricky is among the very best sitters that we have had. Took long walks and loves my dog!
