Took very good care of our puppy and kept us updated the whole time!

I saw a change in Richard after he took in his own rescue. Since then, he has offered to watch my dog, Oliver, on the weekends when I travel. Oliver gets plenty of exercise and took to him right away. I never have to worry about Oliver's well-being, and it's fantastic!

Richard had cared for my dogs several times over the years. I knew I could depend on him to care for them and take care of what they needed. At the time, I had 5 dogs, and he did great. One of my dogs has seizures, and knowing that Richard would make sure she got her meds on time twice a day, made me rest easier. I also had a dog that was petrified of storms, Richard knew she may need some extra care and that I also had meds for her if needed. My furbabies lobed him and I would highly recommend Richard to care for tour babies.

Schedule

I currently work remotely from home. This allows me to finish my work on my schedule, which means I can usually be flexible around yours. I am also flexible on the length of care you need. I love getting to know pets and spending time with them on a regular basis, but I'll be happy to help out for that one time emergency, as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot provide care in my home, at this time. I have two dogs. My older dog is a rescue. She takes a very long time to become comfortable with new animals, so I don't want to stress her out with new visitors on a normal basis.

Pets

A typical day

Ideally, I would take your dog on a nice walk to a local park, if there is one in your area. If not, we can just visit the various trees and light poles in your neighborhood.

How does your dog handle meeting and interacting with other dogs? I don't want to put your dog in situations which might stress it out.
