Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets.
Reviews
Richard provided excellent care to my pups while I was out of town for a few days. He kept me informed on how things were going. If he had any questions or concerns, he reached out to me which I appreciate and he sent me pictures occasionally. In addition, he left my house clean and organized which I greatly appreciate. I definitely recommend Richard for your pets needs. I’m actually going to book Richard for another overnight stay in December. Hopefully he will have availability.
Thanks so much Richard I’m so happy I can count on you! And my dogs love you! What’s the matter girls is it in there is that I had in there and I are OK oh who has it so I will just tell me
Hello! This is for Richard (Mike) and the incredibly positive experience we had with him watching our husky. I had never done this before and was super nervous, but we met with him and knew he was perfect. He did everything we asked and our dog was so well cared for. He was always in communication with us and letting us know what was going on. Our family loved the daily photos of their walks and playing together. We could tell our dog was happy and safe. I cannot stress enough how much this put my mind and heart at ease while we were away. I highly highly recommend him, you will feel the same way I do. We will absolutely use him again in the future. If you are thinking of hiring someone, Richard is your guy! Thanks again for everything!
Richard has taken care of my two dogs when I was out of town for the past two summers and he is wonderful! My dogs are so well cared for, exercised and loved! So much peace of mind when you have a great pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in back yard and spend time playing with my dog and indoor/outdoor cat daily along with morning and afternoon visits to the doggie park.
Information Richard E. would like to know about your pet
If a pet has special needs, that is a first priority. meds, allergies, deaf or diabetic is very important to know up front. If pets have certain likes or dislikes, it helps if they share them with me, so I can build on that or not do something that would make them uncomfortable.
A typical day
My dog's day starts out with a trip to the doggie park where he enjoys the company of the regular morning dogs. when temperatures permit, I take him for his tour of the neighborhood to make sure everything is okay. we check a different section each day. In the evenings, we go back to the doggie park or walk the regular park. some dogs love to chase balls or have a special toy which I like to focus on. If they just want to relax and be pet, I have just as much fun with that. I would ask the pets owner what their pet enjoys and try to continue with what they like

Availability
I am currently retired and have plenty of time to care for pets and lots of love to give. I spend my early mornings and late afternoons at the dog park with Baxter, my dog and can easily adjust schedules with my wife.
