Have gone to dog training school.
Pet care experience
I have completed obedience training at University of Canine Learning Academy in the University District, and because of that I am aware of body language and what it means to animals, as well as best practices when working with dogs. I have a flexible schedule. My wife and I often have schedules that make it possible to have someone home with your dog for most of the day when we house sit. I previously owned a husky, but I love all dogs! I have a special touch with bigger breeds. Beyond just walking, I like to take dogs to the park and run or play catch with them! I speak multiple languages and can use foreign language commands if needed. I look forward to meeting your dog!
Reviews
Richard was very good at communicating and clearly kept my sweet and needy cat comfortable.
Richard is fantastic with animals! He’s the type of guy where even animals who are shy will come running out to greet him. He engages with dogs and cats really well. Playing, running, and general good times are in your dog’s future if you book with Richard!
Richard is a kind and enthusiastic dog walker. He has done a wonderful job walking and playing with my energetic collie. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody needing pet sitting services.

Safety, trust & environment
I always follow the instructions left by owners. I know how important routines and safety are. Outside, dogs will be kept on leash and we will avoid contact with strange dogs.
Information Richard N. would like to know about your pet
I only need to know if your pets have any medical concerns or behaviour considerations. I will work with your to maintain the routine that you have found works best for your pet.
A typical day
I love playing with dogs to get their wiggles out! Lots of games, playing chase, throwing a ball, and learning tricks help stimulate your pet beyond a simple walk. Variety is best!

I currently work mornings in Halifax, so must limit drop-ins to afternoons. For house sitting, my wife and I will both be watching your pet(s) so there will be someone there at all times.
