Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly Pet Sitter/Photographer
Hi, my name is Ulderico. I'm a 29 year old Photographer and animal lover living in Rochester, New York. I have cared for all types of pets from dogs and cats to horses and goats. Growing up in Hawaii, from an early age I was surrounded by animals, and naturally, they became an important part of my life. My extended family included dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and birds. I have always felt a kinship with animals but the strongest bond has always been with dogs. I have very relaxed and lighthearted energy and I think that pets can sense this and feel at ease in my company. Some of my fondest memories are running around the backyard, throwing balls for my dog, Biggie, or simply playing hide-and-seek with him on rainy days. I think it's essential to be aware of each pet's unique personality and how to provide the foremost care and attention for them. I particularly enjoy photographing dogs and there's a good chance I'll capture some memorable images while we're out on a walk or just playing fetch. I always do a meet and greet before any commitment since I feel it's important to meet your pets in person and learn about their personality and needs. I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. Each and every pet is unique and I will care for them with this in mind.

Safety, trust & environment
My biggest focus is that the pets I watch are happy and comfortable. I know it can be stressful to be in a different environment with a new human so I intend on making that transition as pleasant as possible. I live with my family on a small homestead less than 20 minutes from downtown Fayetteville. It's a quiet, peaceful spot surrounded by nature. We have a fenced-in yard for the dogs to play in and doggy doors so they can go in and out at their leisure.
Ratings and reviews
Rico was great with our small animals! We came home and all were happy and well cared for. He was also kind enough to fill our birdfeeder on his visits for the outdoor wildlife. I would 100% work with him again!
Rico was excellent! Will definitely book with him again. We have a cat that needs meds twice daily and an xl 2 year old GSD. He walked her and took great care of our house and pets, visiting several times a day! Highly recommend.


Rico was great! He was attentive to my cat and was patient with him until he felt comfortable enough to come out. He was communicative with me every day and made sure to send photos and updates of how the visit was going. My cat seemed very happy and well taken care of when I got back home. Thank you, Rico!

Rico went above and beyond for me. I had a worst-case scenario power outage that could’ve been a real problem if he wasn’t willing to rush over (A/C, feeder and water fountain all failed). He was extremely responsive, even when I wasn’t due to reception in the mountains. Extremely dependable. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Rico was friendly, on time and the dogs loved him. Will use again in the future!
Rico did an awesome job with our pets. He’s very experienced, professional, and communicative. We loved the pictures he sent us! Thanks Rico!

Schedule
I work as a photographer so my schedule is always flexible. If I'm away from home, chances are I'm hiking and exploring the great outdoors with my dogs, Biggie and Clark! I am my own boss so my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to accommodate you and your pets needs.
