Introduction

Well let’s see about me I’m 61 retired, veteran(MP), married,raised 5 awesome children n we had tons of animals from dogs, cats, hamsters, bunny’s, ferrets, and a few birds. Guess who did most of the caring for them...😊 Now have six grandkids. Found I had a lot of free time, thought I love animals so why not get paid to do it. I was also raised on a farm in Tennessee. I am also a man of Faith, trust in God. Non-smoker/Non-drinker. Usually animals take right to me!

Ricky Willie is a great pet sitter for us! We have been using him now for a few years. He goes over and above to make sure our pets and house are taken care of!

We call him the “Cat Whisperer” because our cat does not like many people but she really likes Ricky! He spends time with her and she responds very positively to him! He also sends photos when we are gone!

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.

Ricky watched my dog for a few days a couple of weeks ago and did an awesome job! He’s great with animals! My dog grew attached to him and seemed like they both had a great time together whether it was playing, going on walks, etc. I plan to have Ricky take care of my dog in the future when I need it.

I was so happy we found Ricky! Super nice guy with a love of animals! Hired him to watch our 4 dogs, 3 cats, bunny and turtles for 4 nights. He responded back promptly when setting up our meet n great. While away he sent updates and pictures. When we returned we were greeted with excited but very calm dogs only for the fact we knew they were taken very good care of. You can tell. The house was clean and the best dog sitter I’ve ever hired left for home🙂 We definitely will use Ricky all the time and I have tried a few sitters… he’s excellent and very reasonable! I know not knowing a person and letting them into your home is a big decision especially when caring for your family pets but I took a chance and very happy we did! Highly recommend 😁 🐶 🐈 🐰 🐢
