Highlights

Enhanced background check

Pet care experience

Animal communicator listens to all!

I have the ability to communicate with all animals since I was 3 yrs old. I have learned a lot in my lifetime when encountering with animals and what they have said to me. I also can help with any issues that an animal might have or need. I deal mostly with cats, but I have worked with various dogs in the past.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all animals as if they were my own. I let them be themselves and watch and observe what they do and what they should not be doing. I interact with them to make them feel like I'm the new member to their family. I currently have 8 cats, mostly all strays. I have a 3 legged cat in my group as well as 2 that just turned 1 yr old.

Richard is kind and caring and took great care of my dog and cat while I was away. It was easy to see from the photos he sent that they were getting along very well and enjoying each other’s company. I would definitely recommend Richard!

Richard did an amazing job taking care of my pup over a 6 day period. My girl Honeybee (who usually takes some time to warm up to unfamiliar men) immediately liked Richard, and was sad visibly sad to see him leave at the end. Richard’s love and understanding of animals is obvious. He kept me updated with multiple daily pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely book again!

Richard took great care of our animals just like his own! They all loved him and warmed up quickly! He was respectful of our home and communicated great daily with photo updates that we enjoyed! He was available last minute and we will be booking in the future if needed!

Richard was very consistent and reliable and communication was very good. I believe he also genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dog.

Richard did a great job of watching my dog. He followed all the instructions and my dog seemed to be happy! Richard communicated pretty regularly with me and that gave me peace of mind. Overall I'm very happy with Richard's services I would highly recommend him.

What tendencies that the dog does or does not do that I need to know. Any behavior issues that the dog may bring out that need to be addressed.
