Responsive and responsible dog dude

Pet care experience

Working in the maritime industry and the navy reserve keeps me at sea for roughly half the year....which is a long time to go without any furry friends! Luckily, when I'm ashore my schedule is wide open and I would love to fill it by taking care of your pets. Until I joined the navy and started working on ocean-going commercial vessels, I've always lived with and taken care of dogs, so I miss not having any now. I like to keep active in my free time, and I love dogs, so Rover is a natural fit for me. I'm patient, punctual, and eager to learn the specific needs of your pets. Whether it's walking, running, picking up poop, or just curling up on a couch for cuddles, I'm committed to providing the best service.

Richard took care of my black lab for years, taking her on regular walks and caring for her at my home (feeding, even brushing her teeth!) and I've never met a guy who cared so much about a dog's happiness as he did! He was always very responsive and responsible, and I would recommend him as a dog sitter.

Richard is very fond of dogs to say the least, also a kind soul in general. Judging from the way he treats dogs in his day to day life I'm sure he'll be a suitable caregiver to any dog and I would entrust him my pup anytime without having any worries.

A typical day

I love walking in parks, especially along the Milwaukee River or down by Lake Michigan. If you're close to either you better believe we'll go!
