Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable dog walker and sitter
I am a personal trainer and business owner, so I understand the importance of consistency, responsibility, and trust. I also have experience fostering dogs and caring for pets, and I genuinely enjoy working with animals. I provide dog walking and pet sitting services with a focus on safety, routine, and dependable care. I am active, reliable, and able to handle dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and well looked after while you are away or busy. I treat every dog like they are my own.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter care, and any instructions are done exactly as requested. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and stress free in their familiar environment. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks based on their energy level and routine. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and giving attention at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and updates with photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
Ratings and reviews
Rich is a compassionate and attentive caregiver with a great personality. He takes wonderful care of our Cavalier King Charles and always makes sure everything is just right. We feel completely comfortable leaving our dog in his hands.
Rich is an excellent dog sitter. He took great care of my dog and was responsible, attentive, and reliable the entire time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. He truly cares about the animals he watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Rich to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet.
I cannot recommend him enough as a pet sitter! He is very patient, attentive, and treats pets as if they are his own which makes them feel both safe and comfortable. He is very reliable and communicative, quickly earning both mine and my pets trust. Any pet will be in great hands with him!
I’ve been using Richie now for the past year and he’sRiamazing with dogs and treats every one like his own. He’s super responsible, keeps you updated, and really pays attention to what each dog needs. I’ve seen how comfortable dogs are around him, even the shy or anxious ones. I’d trust him with my pets anytime.
Rich has watched my three cats multiple times and has been amazing every single time. He goes above and beyond, spending real time with them instead of just stopping in. He kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. When I came home, all three cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Schedule
Pet care fits into my weekly routine alongside my personal training business. I train clients both in person and virtually, so my schedule is flexible during the day. I typically have availability in the mornings, midday gaps, and some evenings, which allows me to consistently fit in dog walks and cat visits. I plan my schedule in advance to make sure each pet gets reliable and on time care without rushing.
