Dogs & Kids (& mosquitos) Love Me !
Pet care experience
My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas!
Reviews
Pet Sitter Extraordinaire! Henry has taken care of my dog Latka on numerous occasions for the three years since I adopted her from a local shelter.He is caring, loving and my dog loves going to the beach and long walks and hikes with Henry. She is a high energy dog, so Henry makes sure she gets plenty of exercise. She loves snuggling with him. He is very honest and takes impeccable care of my home as well. I would not hesitate to hire Henry. He’ll be #1 on your list as he is on mine!! Sent from my iPhone
Henry is the best. He loves and enjoyed my dog as much as I do. I've known him for decades & he's the most trustworthy, responsible petsitter ever. I can unequivocally recommend him. He'll take great care of your pet(s) and your home

Xander, Sookie, Toby, Latka...if only dogs could speak! I sat with one who did sing when I played harmonica... I have enormous patience, enormous experience, and love my fellow creatures enormously.
Information Henry R. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs or behavior I should know about, of course. I have experience in most of these cases. And if not, am fast learner. Thanks!
A typical day
I try and get down to their level: lay aside them, roll on floor or in field with them, walk/run with, nap with, and play with an assortment of toys your beloved pet may enjoy as much as I do. But I doubt it! Baths at the end of the day and walks early the next...every day is another chance to fill a moment with love and affection.

I am a freelance journalist and author and write at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work on writing books there. (Four so far, working on #5!)
