Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs & Cats are family
I was raised with animals of all kinds in the house and helped care and love them all. I have complete focus on animals in my care and consider them part of the family. I currently have 1 senior dog and looking forward to meeting your animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a save and secure fenced in yard with many options to shelter from the elements. Access through a dog door allows for nature calls during the night should they arise. Taking care of your animals would be a joy!
Ratings and reviews
I recommend Richard Compton as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He cared for our cat last month and did such a great job that we are hiring him again to care for our dogs. He is thoughtful, prompt with communication and has a gentle demeanor.
I can’t recommend Rick enough as someone to care for your dogs. He has been incredibly helpful with my dogs and has gone above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He has also been helping me with a foster dog who can be a bit challenging, and he has been especially patient and great at helping her socialize. He even cared for her at his own home while I was out of town, which gave me so much peace of mind. He took her on walks and sent pictures of her and even took the cutest video blowing bubbles for her to play with, which I didn’t even know that she LOVES!!!! He’s also gone out of his way to check on my own dogs multiple times when I’ve needed help. It’s very clear that he genuinely loves dogs and takes their care seriously. His own dog is extremely well cared for, happy, and clearly part of the family, which says a lot about the kind of person he is with animals. I would (and have!) absolutely trust him with my dogs and feel confident recommending him to literally anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and experienced with dogs. Seriously. 100% recommend Rick.
I've known Richard for a while now & his amazing dog Chuska. He really knows how to take care of and spoil when necessary Chuska. He has all the basic tools & equipment for handling her on a daily basis. When feeding Chuska he has clear written instructions on how to do so. This makes it easy to follow & understand. I know Chuska appreciates this because her feeding bowl is empty after she's been fed.

Schedule
The beauty of taking early retirement is having flexibility on my schedule. Most week days are open to help take care of your animals. Weekends too are flexible and I can most times shift to accommodate changes to scheduled appointments.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldRichard can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- My days are flexible. Since retiring the days are scattered with several other hobbies one of which is jazz drumming. Most everything can be adjusted to meet the needs for walking other dogs. I’d love to meet yours (^_^)
