About Rick

I bring a lifetime of experience caring for animals, more than 25 years, mostly from my life in the Italian countryside. I’ve shared my life with more than ten dogs - all adopted from shelters - and have also cared for cats, rabbits, turtles, chickens, horses, and more. Each one teaches something new about patience, empathy, and care.

I moved to Berlin and I’ve been looking after friends’ pets for some time now, and it truly brings me joy. Whether big and full of energy or small and gentle, every pet will always be welcome with me.

Since I can’t have my own pet at the moment, I’d love to share my time with yours. I offer dog walking, home visits, and overnight stays, and I can either host or travel sometimes. Almost everything apart from house sitting.

About my routine: the day always starts with food, breakfast, and fresh air. I go out at least 3-6 times a day (I only have a terrace and not a garden), provide high-quality pet food whenever needed, medicines if provided, and can be flexible around a pet's needs. I do not feed anything outside of what is prescribed. Moreover, my family and I provide plenty of company throughout the day! Each pet is treated according to its needs and comfort, with patience and encouragement. I'm experienced also with older pets and animals with mobility needs.

Get in touch, and you'll surely get a few dog pictures sent over!

Languages spoken: English, Italian, French 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇫🇷 - learning German.
