All about the dog life

Pet care experience

I believe dogs are my spirit animal. I not afraid to admit it. I have 2 main dog care experiences. The first is with my brother's dog, Lexi, a gorgeous Pointer Beagle mix. The breed is a big, strong dog with a lot of energy. Whenever we met up, I would take her for 2 separate walks to help run off the energy. It's what favorite uncles do. In between those times, we would have passionate debates about the Game of Thrones. She is a big Khalessi fan... but who isn't. The second was with my neighbor's 2 dachshunds, Obi and Bella, . I would walk and feed the brother and sister duo when my neighbor was not available. Sometimes this would be a last minute thing but I'm very flexible with my time when it comes to canine bonding. I also took care of the lovable rug rats when my neighbor went on vacation. So the dogs felt comfortable, I would stay at the house and provide the typical vacation sitting services, feeding, walking, interpretive dance. etc. I feel these two experiences show my range as a dog care specialist. Whether its a large, high energy canine or a laid back house breed, your dog will get nothing but quality care and smiles.

Richard was very sweet to my dog and I loved the constant updates. He's a great communicator who genuinely cares about the well-being of your pets. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

Because I live in a townhome, space is limited. Dogs that would do well in my environment would be canines that have low/medium energy, are not aggressive walkers and do not have long and/or curly hair. For dogs that do not have these qualities, we would not be a good fit.

Information Richard D. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies or social/ personality traits I should be aware of? Does he get along with other dogs. Is there something he absolutely hates or fears?

A typical day

We would take fun walks at least twice a day unless the little one is not an eager walker. Lots of belly rubs when needed.
