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!

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.
