About Ricky

Absolutely adore dogs and am willing to drive the distance to your place for house visits. I am currently a university student at the University of Newcastle, but I have a lot of free time and should be available a vast majority of the time, as my timetable is very flexible.

We first brought my dog home when I was 11 years old, he is a Welsh Corgi named Charlie and it was love at first sight. Ever since then, I have been an avid animal lover, always excited for the opportunity to meet new pets. Being a long time dog owner, I am very capable at dog walking and washing, and am very happy to simply spend time with your pet if that is all that is required so they can have some social interactions during the day.

I have had previous experience dog-sitting for friends who have gone overseas, where I have visited their house once or twice a day to feed their dog, take them for walks and play with them. I also trained my dog to do a variety of tricks, including; sit, down, roll over, play dead, hand and peek-a-boo.

My big sister is also qualified veterinarian, so if something ever pops up I am able to call her for help. Whilst I personally have only owned dogs and fish, I am comfortable with most animals. I hope you consider me to care for your pet, I would love the opportunity. Thank you!

We were a bit nervous using pawshake for the first time but Ricky was great!

Ricky babysat our foster dog Buddy while we were away for a birthday weekend. Buddy isn't easy on a lead (he is dog reactive) and even escaped once (not Ricky's fault) while we were away and Ricky was an absolute trooper!

Would recommend!

I have weekly booking with Rikki ch aging days and time every week and Ricki is more than happy to accommodate for changes even at the last minute. It's so good to know my little princess is in good hands while I'm working.
