Pet care experience

Pets are a member of your family

Ive cared for all different kinds of furry friends, big, small, young and elderly. Each one needed a little different and unique kind of love, but figuring out what make they happy and exhausted is my favorite part. From high energy breeds to cuddly couch potatoes, I enjoy spending time getting to know every single pet the best I can.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe and loved in their own environments. Each pet has a different routine, whether it's feeding, walking, play time, or taking medication it's important to stay consistent in order to help them feel relaxed. Sometimes dogs can play all day, it's important to take into consideration their health and well being, so even if they still want to keep playing they might need to take a little break sometimes.

Another five star service. I was a bit standoffish, but Ricky has been great! The dogs love him and he is very thorough with sending video updates.

Ricky is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable pet caregiver. He cares deeply for his own three cats, adores my four, and responsibly watches over family dogs on weekends. He’s always timely, attentive, and treats every animal like family. I trust him completely with my pets.

Ricky is honest, trustworthy, attentive, and truly cares for my Lola and Richard. He is patient with their attitudes, being Cats they can be difficult.🥰

I have used Ricky as a caregiver for my dogs for several years, which is no easy task. I have four hunting dogs: two GSPs, a Hungarian Vizsla, and an English Setter. All of these are high-energy and high-needs. He has always come through and delivered a superior level of care for all four. I can't say enough about good of a job he does.

Please let me know if you dog has any special needs, fears, or behavioral traits I should look out for. A couple examples are, needing help up steps, a fear of hats, or a sign to need to be let outside to go potty.
