Make Pet Care Work for You

Pet care experience

Get Rid of Your Pet Care Problems Once and For All! My name is Richard and this is my goal for your family. I'm an Army Veteran of 10yrs and I was a Military Police who actually worked K9 (stateside and overseas). So I've been trained to handle, train, care, and be safe with dogs of all sizes. I would love to be apart of the family and care for your pet in anyway I can. I know the joy and love a pet can give and if I can help you care for them while you have other duties to do and still be able to have them in your life then that is a good day. So I'm not your average sitter and I bring a value that not many can bring! As a bonus if you book a service with me I will give you a 10% discount on my photography and graphic design services if you ever are in need of them (@datonestudio)!

Richard was respectful and communicative. The dogs were super happy when we got home and everything was clean and right where we left it. He played with them non stop (even in the rain which we asked for). Amazing. Highly recommend!

Richard is amazing! As long as he is available we will only use him. He goes the extra mile to care for our dogs and keeps us updated throughout the whole thing. Thank you for everything Richard!

Information Richard G. would like to know about your pet

How old are they? Do they have any triggers/issues? Do they have any kind of training? How long can they be left alone? Dos and Don'ts for the home? Good with Kids and other pets? Do they have a kennel?

A typical day

Come have a stay with me and get these belly rubs! We can play with your fav toy, walk and see the neighborhood, and I might even help you learn some tricks/basic obedience to show your mom and dad. I'm currently a professional photographer and I might have to get a few shots for the family during the stay. ;) My situation has currently changed and I'm needing to sell my Mal to a good home. If you know of anyone looking for one please let me know. He is pure and has papers and comes with a ton of extras!!!
