About

Hello Ricky here! I’m 67yo, married we’ve raised 5 children all grown n now have 7 grandchildren so we’ve had so many animals, dogs,cats, ferrets, horses, chickens, all kinds of birds, fish, n turtles etc… and guess who always got the duty to care for all. Yep…Since I am retired, been in Security of some sort since a teenager. I have a good amount of free time, I thought since I love animals why not find something to do that evolves animals. I was also raised on a farm in Tennessee. I am also a Christian, and trust in God. Non-smoker/Non-drinker. Usually animals take right to me! I am available to do dog walking, or pet sitting etc. I have references.

Ricky from Willie Walks is an awesome pet sitter. He took the time to make sure my 3 boy kitties were well fed and taken care of. He was punctual with their feeding times and even stayed longer to ensure they were eating. He gave me updates regularly which really helps an anxious mommy who is away from her babies. Everything was neat, clean and tidy when I returned home. Will definitely use again.

Details: Cat • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Dispensing medication • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

We have 2 older doodles who are our babies. The oldest is 15 1/2 with some dementia and loss of hearing. We needed a pet sitter who could stay all day while my husband was having surgery. We left at 10am and I didn’t return until almost 10pm. Ricky is a gift! We knew our babies were in great hands and they were!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • My home, venue, etc.
