Pet care experience
Offering peace of mind for all your walking and sitting needs. I have been around animals for the entirety of my life, and have enjoyed the company of each one that I meet. Working as an adoption specialist for Best Friend’s Lifesaving Center has allowed me to enrich my community in ways that have proved extremely rewarding. Interacting one-on-one with the dogs (and cats, alike) by getting to know their various personalities is a talent in which I take great pride. I wouldn’t trust just anyone to look after my own pets, which is why I set high personal standards for myself in conducting business around the loved ones of others. My schedule is always flexible so that I can be there for you and your fur babies whenever I am needed.
Reviews
Was dishonest about the time he could actually walk our dog and walked her for half the agreed and paid for time. Was unapologetic about it.
Richard was considerate enough to take care of my pet during an unexpected meeting! He kept me updated at all times & made sure my pet was content & happy! Thanks Richard ?
I have two little dogs who are the great loves of my life. It’s always high anxiety for me when I have to leave them and my home in the care of others. But I felt reassured from my first contact with Richard and after meeting him I felt confident that my home and “my girls” would be in good hands while I had to be away. He did not disappoint. Richard kept me informed with texts and even pictures and videos while I was gone. And the greatest testimonial to a good pet sitter is the fact that when I returned the kids were happy to see me, but relaxed and obviously well taken care of while I was gone. Thanks, Richard!
Richard is a natural with all types of dogs and an animal lover and protector. He has helped me with my Schnauzer for the past ten years and my dog adores him. Richard is an honest and trustworthy young man. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment
Total comfortability is important to me as a sitter. If your pet has a routine schedule of walkings and feedings, I ensure to provide these necessities as they would normally occur in the home. Overnight stays are always welcome as I know that traditional boarding is not a viable option for all.
Information Richard N. would like to know about your pet
I do require meet and greets with all bookings prior to sitting, to ensure that I am good fit for your pets and vice versa. While I have no preferences in breed or size, I do expect complete transparency in each pet’s behavior and personality. Are there any quirks that I should be aware of? Any specific motions/actions/activities to avoid?
A typical day
Going for a ride to the walking trails are always a favorite, as exercise and and adventure go hand in hand. If your pet is a little less active or if you would prefer us to stay at the house, I also consider myself an aficionado of nap-time snuggles on the couch. I have an impeccable driving record and welcome transportation services when needed, including vet and grooming appointments.

Availability
I work full time at the Village Vets’ Westside location, which is only a 15 minute drive from my residence in Smyrna. Lunch hour potty breaks are never an issue for those within a 10 mile radius. This being said, I naturally allow for a more enriching experience on my days off when more quality time is allotted.
