Introduction: I can only speak from previous experience and the sitters I have used were very impersonal. There did not seem to be any attempt on their part to connect with my pets. This is where my work differs from most. I challenge myself to connect with every pet I care for. It's a personal goal and one that I have so far been able to accomplish with every pet I care for. I do much more than fill bowls and clean up messes. I take time to interract with your pet! What's not to like? I am so grateful for the work that I do. I rarely even refer to my work as a job. I love the attempt to bond and connect with a clients pet. I love when the connection is made. I love the process of figuring out what makes a pet happy and feel safe while I am with them. I love to see that trust and happiness excude from an animals face and through their body language when they see me coming. I love the visits where I can spend time with a dog out in nature and romp around with them. I love the reaction I get from the pets human family when they see the connection forming between myself and their pet. I am grateful for, and love the trust that my clients place in me time after time after time and take a few moments to write me about how happy they are with my pet care services. And so much more.........

We have two mini daschunds that are pretty high maintenance and demand a lot of attention. Making the decision to go on vacations has been a nightmare in years past. We struggle with burdening our families and our dogs have always become so emotional when we have left them in the past. I truly cannot say enough about Rick and the immediate bond that he formed with our babies. Although they usually get depressed when we leave overnight, this past week we were able to go away for 5 days and came home to two very well cared for happy dogs. They certainly missed us and were excited when we came home however it was as if we were gone for a matter of hours rather than days. It is clear that Rick did not just throw food and water at them, but rather got to know their personalities and took the time to comfort them in our absence. We have never felt safe in leaving the dogs, or our home, in the care of someone in the past, and can now happily say that we are looking forward to the next vacation. THANK YOU RICK! Molly and Nathan send their appreciation (and doggy kisses).

I have known Rick All his life, and because I share in his love for animals, I can attest to his love and loyality, both as an animal lover and business man, I would trust him with my life and most importantly the life and well being of my animals.

Rick recently took wonderful care of our elderly cat Cindy-Lou for a 4 days. She in on multiple medications and needs twice daily feedings,water and attention. I was immediately impressed with Rick's kind and loving manner towards Cindy Lou, as well as his attention to all the details. When we returned, she was very content and had obviously gotten lots of kitty love. Thanks for your excellent service Rick! I am happy to recommend you to other pet owners.
