Calming and Caring Pet Provider

Hi! My name is Rich, I’m 35 years old and I just moved to Madison. I have been taking care of pets in Milwaukee for the past year and loved it, and I am looking forward to continuing here. I grew up with a dog and have lived with both dogs and cats for many years. I currently have my own goofy wonderful dog named Maxwell. I have 25 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats using positive-reinforcement techniques. I have experience working with puppies as well as older dogs and cats. At this time, I am unable to walk large dogs who pull on the leash due to physical restrictions. I have experience walking leash reactive dogs - my own dog is reactive, and I work on his training every day. I also have experience giving oral medication and subcutaneous injections. Please reach out for any additional questions or references!

Rich was incredibly reliable and took such great care of our cats while we were out of town. I received timely photo and video updates for each visit and there were no issues. I would absolutely book Rich again and highly recommend!

Rich did a wonderful job with our girls (2 cats). Definitely very caring! Rich asked thoughtful questions about their behavior and took excellent care of them.

Rich is really great with animals. Super caring and kind to my shy buddies. Rich has good communication, asks questions when unsure, and sent me sweet photos which helped with my anxiety. Thank you so much!!!!

Richie is very gentle and patient as an animal caretaker. Dogs and cats always seem to get that sense that Richie is someone they can trust because of Richie’s gentle and non-intimidating nature. Richie frequently pet-sits for me when I am away, I know I can always count on them to do a fantastic job plus give my pets so much love and attention.
