Richard is always the first person I ask when I need someone to pet sit or house sit. He takes exceptionally good care of my 2 cats and 1 dog. Richard is also my fur babies favorite human. I know when I go out of town, my house and my pets are going to be well taken care of because he genuinely cares for animals.
