Richard is a very personable, upbeat guy. He's more of a cat person than a dog person, but he was very attentive to my dog's needs. My dog likes to eat little berries that fall off the trees in my back yard. I hadn't told Richard about this, and he went so far as to pick her up and get her away from that part of the yard because he was concerned the berries might upset her stomach. He was very respectful of my home and left everything clean and tidy.

Rick has owned dogs (and one cat) ever since I’ve known him (more than a decade!). He has always been amazingly attentive to not only his pets but also to his friends' animals. Rick has great energy that his dogs would take full advantage of on their daily walks and, if it was rainy, while playing inside. Trustful, reliable, understanding, and compassionate! Is it any wonder that his lab, Jet, would wait by the door for Rick to come home? We have always felt confident and assured that our dogs were in great care when he fed and walked them. Thank you, Rick, for giving us one less thing to worry about! —Frances Drago (and Maybel—woof!)
