Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired, love to play/walk dogs
For 12 years I walked my retired racing greyhound sometimes for 3 hours a walk. I enjoyed how he showed me unknown nooks-and-crannies in the neighborhoods, what he was afraid of, what he liked, picking seeds out of his paws, picking up after him, and him making me go farther rather than home. I raised a Golden from puppyhood on up to 4 years old and got along fine with this land shark. We loved the water and being brushed. I like big and small dogs, and when they are being walked past my house, I talk to them more than to the owners.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We have three indoor-outdoor cats that I open doors for all day. I see no reason to sit with or walk a pet and not interact with it. When I had dogs for many years (a Greyhound and a Golden, sometimes a Basset) I basically walked them 2-3 times a day for at least 30 minutes, often much longer since I enjoyed it. Took them to the dog park if it was clean, safe, and suited their temperament (it often wasn't a good choice, so usually not). Plus the usual grooming, vet services, feeding, basic training.
Ratings and reviews
Richard did a great job with our dog, Gary. His communication was great, always responded within a few minutes or provided updates every few hours. He sent plenty of pictures which we loved! I would recommend Richard to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Nicely done!
Richard was fantastic- great communication and photos! We’ll definitely book again the next time we need a sitter!
Richard has consistently been a reliable and helpful sitter with our dog, and we look forward to working with him again.
Richard took great care of our pup and house. And sent some awesome photos of our dog.
Richard communicated well and often even sending photos.
