My Mission

 

Pawsitive care by ricky

 

I am committed to treating your pets as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the best care, attention, and love while you're away. My goal is to provide both pets and their owners with peace of mind through reliable, professional, and compassionate service. 

 

About ME

Hey, my name is Ricky Gonzalez.

My name is Ricky Gonzalez, from Louisville, KY. Graduated from Saint Xavier High School in 2023. Now, I am a junior studying finance at the University of Kentucky. Alongside my passion for financial markets and a strong commitment to personal growth—whether it’s through academics, fitness, or entrepreneurship—I’ve discovered a deep love for photography and caring for animals. Since 2021, Ive been pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and it's become more than just a service-it's a way to connect with people and their animals in a meaningful way. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own, always striving to provide the best service possible.


Whether I'm working out, studying the markets, or spending time with a client's pet, I aim to be my best every day-and earn the peace and satisfaction knowing that I truly earned the sunset.

FAQ

How Can pawsitive care be scheduled?

Pet sitting and photography services can be scheduled by clicking on the Contact section of the website. From there, you’ll be able to message me directly on Facebook to discuss your needs, go over the details, and find the best fit for your schedule.

What types of Pets are cared for?

Pet sitting is available for both dogs and cats. If care is needed for other animals, please reach out to discuss availability and accommodation's.

What areas are serviced?

For Summer 2025, Pawsitive Care is available in the Jeffersontown, Middletown, Fern Creek, and St. Matthews areas. Service outside of these neighborhoods may be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability and distance.


Photography sessions can be done anywhere in the city of Louisville.

Is a meet-and-greet available before the first visit?

Yes, before the first booking, a complimentary meet-and-greet is offered at the client's home. This allows time to become familiar with the pet, discuss any special instructions, and review expectations.

During this visit, I will also outline the process for keeping the home secure and ensuring the pet's well-being - including regular check-ins, updates, and responsible access to the property.



Are services available during the holidays?

Holiday bookings are available with advance notice. Due to increased demand, it is recommended to schedule early for major holidays.

How are pets kept safe during visits?

Safety is a top priority. During each visit, pets are monitored closely, routines are followed carefully, and any special needs or behaviors are respected. Secure handling, locked doors, and regular updates ensure peace of mind.

How will updates be shared during the visits?

Photo, video, text, and even FaceTime updates will be provided throughout the visit upon request, giving peace of mind and regular insight into how the pet is doing.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing starts at a flat rate of $30 a day, with the final rate depending on location, time spent, and any special accommodations requested. As a Jeffersontown local, Pawsitive Care aims to provide high-quality, personalized service at a fair rate. Full details will be provided during the phone consultation and meet-and-greet

How much will a photoshoot cost?

*OPTIONAL* - Clients serviced have the option to have their pet photographed with my SONY A7 iii. Animals serviced will have a much cheaper price than a booked date separately just for a photoshoot.


Clients serviced wanting quality photos will be an extra $35.


Booked photoshoot dates will be $50/hr.

Testimonials

Alex Molestina

"We’ve been lucky to have Ricky take care of our three dogs over the past several summers while we’ve been away on vacation, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind he brings us each time. He’s not only attentive and caring with all of our dogs—including administering daily medication to our senior pup—but he also goes above and beyond by helping with little things like bringing in the mail and keeping an eye on the house.


Each time we return home, our dogs are happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know they’re in good hands with someone we trust completely. We highly recommend Ricky to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter!"

Jennifer Thauberger

"Ricky is the best pet sitter I have ever had.  He is extremely responsible and my cats were well taken care of everytime I have used him, which I would say is around 10 times.  Not only did he feed and cleanup after the cats, he also gave them attention and spent time with him. I will continue to use him every-time I need a pet sitter.  In terms of photography, Ricky has captured amazing images of my cats.  His ability to make them feel comfortable results in great photos.  If you need a pet sitter or photographer I would highly recommend! 5 ⭐️!"

Holly Abrams

" Ricky always does a fabulous job with my animals when I'm away on vacation.  He's professional and courteous and he sends me pictures so I know they are well taken care of.  He also did a wonderful job on their photos.  I would highly recommend both services to anyone needing pet sitting or who want great pictures of their fur babies."

“Ricky is always reliable and trustworthy, and I have complete confidence in him when I'm away. He always takes great care of my sweet girl letting her inside/outside as requested and does amazing with following all my directions I leave for him to follow. Highly recommend!”

Hayley Charron

"Dogs sense energy. When considering a dog-sitter for our family, it was important that our dogs both felt a great, comforting energy. The second Ricky walked through our door to meet our pups, each with very different personalities, both of them were just drawn to Ricky. He is calm and kind, happy and cordial.


Ricky had been so easy to work with. He is communicative and punctual. Plus, he sent us adorable pictures throughout his visits! Especially as a young man, it has been refreshing to see the care and respect he exhibits and the pride he takes in the simplest things.


10/10 would recommend!"

Shannon Cash

"Thank you so much for taking such good care of Gus while we were away! Knowing our senior boy had someone walk him in his stroller and give his some love meant the world to us. I was very nervous to leave him as he has declined over the past few months but knowing his quality of life and happiness was taken care of by you felt reassuring. You went above and beyond coming over to meet him and hear what his needs were and met every expectation with pictures of how he was doing throughout each day. We looked forward to those photos!! Thanks for the extra special touches you gave with the special pictures and music for him on his stroller rides! He was a spoiled boy! I would most definitely recommend Ricky for any of your pets needs 🐶🩷"
