Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I create a calm, loving environment where animals feel safe and cared for. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving them the attention they need to feel secure. Because I work from home as a member of the Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700), I’m able to offer flexible, consistent care throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets plenty of play, cuddles, and supervision, whether I’m hosting them or visiting them in their own familiar space.

Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention, I provide patient, loving care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love while you’re away—I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable nature and ability to connect with animals quickly, making them feel safe and cared for in any situation.

Rich was great with our two dogs, he helped maintain their routines while we were away and they were clearly happy and well taken care of when we arrived home.
