Information Richard M. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog socialized? Do they know basic commands like sit, stay, and come? I live an active lifestyle - I’d love to bring your dog with me during my daily travels where it is safe and feasible. But if your doggo wouldn’t be comfortable with that we can just chill and watch tv all day I understand all doggos have a quirk or two so please let me know so I can accommodate them and care for them in the best way possible.

A typical day

When it comes to your dog you know best - I'm down to adhere to whatever schedule is normal for your pet. Couch potato? - sure. Adventure time in the car? - just my thing. Hour long walks and dog parks? - Of course.

Pet care experience

I've always had dogs in my life - pet care began as early as 8 with feeding and walking family pets and grew into a love of providing care for the amazing creatures that are dogs. I now have three of my own and I take an active role in their daily activities such as meals, walks, and play time.

Richard was very good with my dog. He took her on multiple long walks and gave her a super comfortable place to sleep. He was very attentive to her needs and my anxious dog felt so at home with him. Great experience for my dog and wonderful peace of mind to know my girl was in good hands.

As always, Richard was wonderful! I never have to worry about being away. He takes care of my babies as if they're his own.

Rick is great with Maverick and Maya and always leaves the house very clean after his stays! He sends regular updates after every walk!

Our favorite pet sitter! Always very attentive to our two large dogs and sends many updates while we are away. Our dogs are always so happy to see him! Highly recommend.

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.
