Pet care experience

Coming from a fast-paced background in government and the tech industry, unwavering reliability and meticulous attention to detail are simply second nature to me. But at my core, I'm just a devoted cat dad who loves animals. I’ve house sat for multiple clients over the years, caring for everything from energetic large dogs to special needs cats. I pride myself on offering a bespoke experience, tailoring my care entirely to your exact specifications and your pets' unique routines. My ultimate goal is to leave your home absolutely pristine and your pets perfectly content so coming home feels like you never even left!

Rich took great care of our 2-year-old doodle, Zara! It was her first time around cats, and he made sure she felt safe while helping her slowly get used to them. He kept her well-fed, took her on walk, and even snapped a few pictures. One small suggestion would be to send those photos during the visit — it would definitely help pet parents feel more connected and reassured. Overall, really happy with how everything went. Thanks, Rich!
