About Ricardo
We currently live in a large house with a large backyard with lots of shelter, great for your doggo to do some exercise/zoomies (hopefully no digging though!😁) there are only two adults and a lazy greyhound here so it’s very quiet most of the time.

I love animals and after leaving my job in November 2021 I started doing dog sitting full time, specialising in larger breeds, especially Greyhounds.

Our senior Greyhound is very friendly and patient towards other dogs (and loves to meet new people!) but does struggle with high energy dogs/puppies, she’s not aggressive but will try to hide as she just wants to be left alone!😅😅 but because of this we won’t take high energy dogs or puppies as we don’t want to stress her out. Our yard is fully fenced and greyhound proof (they can jump pretty high)

We are conveniently located in a very quiet street close to the eastlink.

Happy to give tablets/eye drops/ointments etc, but would prefer to avoid giving injections.

When Bruno didn't want to come home, I guessed how much fun he'd had!! You only needed to see how relaxed he was at Ricardo's to know he'd really been well looked after and hardly missed us!! Full recommendation - 10 out of 10!!
