Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I am not interested in house sitting. I am experienced in walking, feeding, and providing medication to my own pets. I have had both very young and very old pets. When we meet, I will want to understand the needs of your family members and you can trust I will take care of them as if they were my own.

Information Rich C. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with all animals big and small, but would like to know how your dog does around other dogs or people that we may encounter on our walks.

A typical day

I can take your dog for a short or long walk depending on their age/health status and I also love hiking so could take them on nearby trails if you would like them to have a little more adventure.

Great with all animals

Pet care experience

I am comfortable with all animals, big and small. If you have one of those breeds that gets a bad rap (Pitbull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Belgian Malinois, etc) I am the dog walker for you. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs since I was a child, we had our first cat 10 years ago. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs right now. In the past, I have had Cockatiels, Chinchillas, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and an iguana. I love all animals. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter where I went through their training program and subsequently helped care for their dogs: walking, feeding and cleaning the kennels. I am a young grandfather, and retired from an IT position of over 25 years. I am excited about spending time with your pets.

Rich is exceptional! He walked my golden retriever, Hudson for over a year and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He’s incredibly reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring - Hudson absolutely adored him. Rich brings a warm, positive energy on every walk, and you can tell he truly loves dogs. I’ve recommended Rich to multiple neighbors, several of whom now use him regularly - that says everything. We had to move otherwise, he would be our forever dog walker!

We highly recommend Rich. He confirmed a last minute booking and made himself available for a walkthrough. He was prompt, timely, communicative, and always considerate of our dogs needs. Thanks Rich!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
