Professional Dog Hiker/Behaviorist

Pet care experience

I hike off-leash every day with all breeds and mutts. I have over 20 years experience working with dogs. I have a large garden that the dogs have access to 24/7. From large to small they will be well fed, well loved and well exercised, please contact me anytime. Why I love dog sitting I love dogs and their energy, they make life worth living! Dogs need in return from us food, water, exercise and love. I provide all these things and more. Meet my pets About my yard We have a very large garden, all totally secure. The dogs can roam freely through the house which is all on the ground floor. My experience administering medication Im happy to administer medication and fully follow instructions. Why I love dog sitting It’s always fun to have different pups stay at the house, I foster regularly at Hopalong Rescue. Rover allows me to earn some extra cash too which always helps. About my yard We have a front and back garden, all totally secure. The dogs can roam freely through the house which is all ground floor. My experience administering medication Happy to administer medication.

Ty has stayed with Richard twice. Each time he has come home happy and healthy. Ty loved his stay so much we wouldn’t hesitate leaving him with Richard again.

Richard is obviously an animal lover which made me feel very at ease with him caring for my 6 month old puppy. He’s very friendly, personable and easy to talk with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
