Safety, trust & environment

I take my dog on walks, hikes and to the dog park. I give my pets a lot of snuggles. I feed, clean up after and give fresh water to the cats and dog.

Information Richard K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors that I can adapt to. I like to keep their litter and feeding area clean

A typical day

For my dog, I like to play with toys, play fetch, and I walk and run with him. We socialize him with lots of other dogs and people. He is snuggly and he gets a lot of lap time.

Richard took wonderful care of my Rudy. He sent pictures everyday showing he was playing g and interacting with him. I came home to a relaxed, happy cat. I also appreciated the fact that he was able to accommodate Rudy with only 2 days notice. Thank you Richard and I will be contacting you for my next trip.

Rich did a great job with our two cats, took well care of them and sent us pictures regularly. A true pleasure to have him as our catsitter. We will definitely ask him again to take care of Merry and Purrfect.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
