Depending on your walking requirements, I will typically go for a couple walks a day. If your pet is high energy, I love to wear them out with games and horseplay.

Pet care experience

I have over 25 years experience handling dogs and other pets. As a child, we had several family pets from dogs to birds to even lizards. When I was a teen, I transitioned to working at the local dog kennel, grooming and boarding people's pets. Now, since I work from home, I frequently watch and take care of friend's pets when they're working or away on vacation.

Rique is an awesome dog sitter! Cooper got sick while he was watching him and he took such great care of him. He also kept us updated and sent pictures and he has a big backyard that is perfect for running around in. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a sitter who is caring and reliable!

Boarding our pup with Rique is always a great experience! Our dog is so happy to see him and seems to be completely comfortable in Rique’s home. He’s an excellent communicator and I feel confident that he is taking great care of her. Thank you, Rique!!

Hama loved spending time with Rique! This was our first time leaving Hama with someone, and Rique sent regular photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind.

Rique was awesome! Our anxious dog felt right at home with Rique and we couldn’t be happier. He sent lots of photos and videos which kept our mind at ease while we were away, and was very quick to respond to messages. We will book again for future dog sitting needs!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
