Dog lover, excited to meet your pup

Pet care experience

I love dogs. Had them in my family my whole life and my aunt even rescues 3-5 dogs at a time. My current dog is a rescue and I frequently watch rescues so I know a lot of the nuances that come with that. I’ve also watched puppies and raised my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs at any stage. Dogs that are timid or may have some trauma, I especially like working with because it’s great to see them trust and get better each day. I’m so excited to meet your dog, and look forward to walking or sitting for them!

Richard is an attentive and active dog watcher. He’ll treat your pet as his own! walks and park hangs and cuddles on the couch are a guarantee. Would definitely recommend.

Richard is trustworthy and caring. He is truly a dog person. He has personally cared for and walked my dogs from a 4 pound Maltese to Dobermans and a 90 pound Chow Siberian Husky mix. You won't find a better caretaker for your very special family member:)

Safety, trust & environment

Sadly I don’t have the capacity to keep dogs at my apartment or I would, but I live next to a great park that I take my dog to at least 3x per day. Each dog is different though and based on their needs I would plan to work around what they want. For any boarding, I can work with you and your pet to figure out what is best for your dog.

Information Richard A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what you’d like me to know about your pet, any triggers or special instructions— I’m very patient so no worries if your dog needs some adjusting the first time or two that I visit. Very open to working at your dog’s pace to keep them happy!

A typical day

Normally I take my own dog on daily errands, cafes, and/or walks to the park or around the neighborhood at least 3x per day. I love hiking and my dog is shockingly good despite her size. She is very food motivated and sticks to me like glue whenever I’m cooking!
