Rich has been a champion for companion animals and equines for his entire adult life. From rescuing a dog from neglect, to fostering cats, to saving a mouse trapped in a house, his love of animals is motivating. I have used Rich to watch my cats while I was away and he does an amazing job. He is an attentive listener and would easily follow instructions from a pet owner. He is also knowledgeable to recognize any issues in pet behavior. Rich is very reliable - never late and never cancels on me. He is trustworthy and in an emergency knows what to do as well. I have and do trust him with my pets! Rover and their clients are very lucky to have him help the pet loving community.
