Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & Reliable Pet Care
I’ve cared for pets for over 5 years, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments as well as cats with unique personalities. I’ve helped with puppy training, senior pet care, and even administered oral medications when needed. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals — I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I understand how important trust and consistency are, so I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I also enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos and little stories about their furry friends’ day!

Ratings and reviews
Richard provided plenty of photos and updates while watching our dog. She looked happy and got plenty of outside time. Thank you!
Richard was wonderful with our pup. He took him on plenty of walks and visits to the local dog park. Will definitely trust my dog with him again!
Richard was great with Renzy and sent a lot of updates and photos! I would trust him with Renzy again.
We’re immensely thankful to Richard for taking care of Perla over spring break. She’s a shy, old dog, and he managed to connect with her quickly. She’s looked so happy in all the pictures he sent us. Richard updated us multiple times a day and followed all her care instructions to a T. I highly recommend Richard if you’re looking for a dog sitter ❤️
Richard is one of the most reliable and caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. He’s patient, responsible, and genuinely loves spending time with pets. I’ve seen how attentive he is to their needs and how quickly dogs warm up to him. I have no doubt he’ll provide safe, loving, and trustworthy care to any pet he looks after. Rover pet parents will be lucky to have him!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I love starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, and snuggles. My flexible schedule allows me to give full attention to your pet’s needs, whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or overnight stays. I make sure each visit includes exercise, affection, and care tailored to your pet’s personality and comfort.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets have a clean, calm space to relax and play, with constant supervision. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow all instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I take time to learn about your pet’s habits, triggers, and preferences so I can create a stress-free environment. I believe in positive reinforcement and gentle handling — your pet will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
