Your pet(s) will be in GREAT CARE!

Pet care experience

"Wow, my dog usually doesn't get along with people right away." Dogs and their owners have said this to me multiple times in my life. I understand the basics and advanced ways of approaching dogs. My pug, Bear, and I have been together for 10 years now. I got Bear when he was just a puppy, and we have lived with multiple dogs over the years. Along with years experience I have also taken, and passed, several online pet courses. These include Animal Training & Pet Sitting, Animal Psychology, Veterinary Support Assistant, Animal Care, and Ultimate Guide To Dog Grooming. Personal experience and these classes have given me the confidence and understanding to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will truly care for any animal as if it were my very own. I do not mind administering medicine, grooming or bathing, walking or running extended lengths to tire out active dogs. Please feel free to contact me!

I had a last minute out of town thing come up, so I hopped on Rover to find sitters near me. Richard came over and met my foster kittens (yep, he cat-sits, too) and saw their routine. I booked for 2 drop in visits over the weekend. When I came back, their room was super clean - the box was freshly scooped, their assorted dishes were washed. Definitely above and beyond. And Richard is a super nice guy! I’ll definitely be booking with him in the future for all my critters.

Richard was awesome! He went above and beyond- coming by our home to care for our dog, Emma. He also sent pictures, threw her ball for her, and brought in our mail. It felt really good having someone trustworthy and reliable I could count on!

Richard has been a loyal pet-lover since I could remember. He has owned a pug for about 10 years and has given care to other pets such as turtles, fish, hamsters, and more. He is very patient with his own dog and truly cares for pets that aren't his, as well. I would always trust him to care for my animal being that he is kind, loving, and compassionate toward animals, as well as hard working.
