Dog Sitter with a Heart for Paws
Amsterdam
Over Riccardo
Hello! I’m Riccardo, an Italian graphic designer living in Amsterdam for the past seven years. I’m fortunate to work from home, which allows me the opportunity to welcome an extra dog for boarding, daycare, or even just a walk!
Dogs have always been a central part of my life, fueling my passion for pet sitting. I currently have a four-year-old Flat-Coated Retriever, whom I’ve trained since he was a puppy. This experience has equipped me with valuable skills in dog care, obedience training, and understanding canine behavior, making me a responsible and knowledgeable caregiver.
Before having my own dog, I enjoyed dog-sitting for friends and cared for a variety of breeds, including poodles, Shiba Inus, Am Staffs, German Shepherds, and Labradors. Each breed brought its unique needs and personalities, teaching me to adapt my approach to ensure their comfort and happiness.
I’m dedicated, reliable, and passionate about providing quality care. I also own a car, so I can pick up your dog if you’re unable to bring them to me. Plus, I love taking dogs for walks in the beautiful Amsterdamse Bos, where they can relax and run around.
I’d love to meet you and your dog for a chat to learn more about their needs, personality, and boundaries. Please note that, since I have my own dog, I can only accommodate dogs that are great with other dogs. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friend!
