Availability
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.

About Rico L.

Skills
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.
Information Rico L. would like to know about your pet
I would most like to know what his/her likes and dislikes are and if there are any eccentricities or unique traits I should know of beforehand. I'd like to know what your pet's schedule is like, as it pertains to feeding, exercise, and sleeping. I would also like to know how your dog does around other canines and people. Feel free to provide as much information as you like! The more I know, the better equipped I will be to take care of your pets!
A typical day
I think this all depends on your dog's needs and preferences. I will always focus on that and plan accordingly. Whether it be a fun session at the dog park or a rigorous hike, I'll make sure your dog is having the best time.

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews


Rico gave my two dogs a great walk and they were extremely satisfied and worn out after which is what we were looking for. Thanks so much Rico.


Rico did a great job sitting with our cat and dog! They seemed to really like him. He’s very responsive and clean - our place looked great. I felt comfortable that they were being well taken care of while we were out of town.
We had to leave our pets for a longer day than we normally would, and Rico came to give them some pets and time to stretch their legs outside. We came home to happy pups and kitty! We appreciate that he was able to meet our timeline needs and was in communication with photos. Of course, we also appreciate that our dogs clearly love their time with Rico.

Rico was so awesome with my senior pup! I definitely have more separation anxiety than my dog does, but I felt super comfortable and at ease with leaving her in Rico’s care. He took her on a deluxe hike and sent lots of photos, so I know she had a blast! Great communication, very punctual, and I could truly enjoy some rare time visiting with family, knowing Kirby was safe and having a fun time with Rico. Highly recommend!!
