Friendly Pet Sitter/Photographer
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Ulderico. I'm a 27-year-old Photographer and animal lover living in Northwest Arkansas. 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 was great & Louie really had a great time! Love all the pics & communication. Highly recommend & we’re already rebooked! 🤗
This was our first time having Rico come by for a drop in visit for our fur babies Bella and Mya, we received lots of pictures and an update. We will definitely book with Rico again in the future!
Rico goes above and beyond for my pets. I’ve booked with him multiple times and always feel good about leaving my pets and my house in safe hands. Highly recommend!
Rico took such great care of our dog Patch. He took the time to get to know him and all of his little quirks, exercise routine, and medication. Rico was excellent at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. He put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our son’s wedding and festivities out of town. Also, the house was well taken care of and Patch was very happy and chill when we got home. The only issue is we said Rico’s name and he got excited and started looking for him. :)We would give Rico many more stars if possible. Thank you again.

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.

I work as a photographer so my schedule often varies. I'm definitely a homebody and work from home so I'm always around to keep an eye on your pet, whether at my house or yours. If I'm away from home, chances are I'm hiking and exploring the great outdoors with my dog, Biggie. We'd be thrilled to bring along your dog(s) on our next adventure! I am my own boss so my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to accommodate you and your pets needs.
