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.

We were worried the power washing of our house would drive our dog crazy inside, but fortunately Rique was able to jump in for day care, saving the day. Thanks!

10 out of 5 stars. Blissful and calm with not an ounce of anxiety. There’s no greater joy than seeing your fur baby with dirt on his face and a sparkle in his eye from a day of fun. Thank you so much Rique!

This is my 3rd time using Rique’s services. He responds to messages and requests quickly, and sends updates without being prompted to do so. My pup loves him, his house, and backyard. He always comes home happy with his needs met so that I can relax after a long day. Very grateful for Rique’s help.
