Big walks, ear rubs and no hassles
Pet care experience
I grew up in a home with pets and I had a dog until recently, so I am very comfortable with pet company and coping with the spectrum of their behavior. I currently take care of Max, a 12 year old Labradoodle who's owner is infirm.
Reviews
Richard was great - we have two senior dogs who require contant monitoring. He stayed with them all day. Dogs were happy when we got home, and house was clean. We will hire him again!
Richard is a very kind, prompt and attentive pet sitter. Knowing my pet is in his care makes being away from home so much less stressful. I'm so grateful to have found him. You couldn't hope for a better pet sitter.
Richard watched our dog in our home for a week while we were away . He sent regular updates, and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house.
Canoot had not seen Richard for a month, but when he realized his friend was visiting to play ball, he was so happy! The tail can wag the dog. After an hour of play, Canoot is sleeping. Yay! Canoot is not an easy dog, and Richard is great with him.

All my pets get hassle free, high quality: snuggles, ear rubs, exercise, non political lively conversation and play time with their local buddies as needed.
Information Richard O. would like to know about your pet
My preference is to have a meet and greet prior to any scheduled appointment, many animals feel more comfortable when they have their owners with them when meeting strangers.
A typical day
After the directions from an owner, I like to let each pet determine the kinds of activity and the level of exercise they are comfortable with.
