Safety, trust & environment

When I had my dog I had a fenced yard with a doggie door for access to the house. I sat with him during thunderstorms and took care of him after ACL surgery. We played ball three times a week or more. He endured my short lived biking phase. He loved the convertible and hated the sedan. I think of him every day.

Information Richard P. would like to know about your pet

Medications I can handle for the most part. Post surgery dogs I have some experience with. Any other special needs please let me know. I don't want to promise something I can't do.

A typical day

Fetch and chase are the big two for dogs. Cats seem to enjoy chasing objects and lights. Finding a favorite toy or ball to break the ice with always helps.

Pet care experience

I will be available during the holidays. Please let me know your dates and needs and I will be happy to work something out. Had dogs all my life and cared for them in all sorts of situations; medications and therapy walks. Monitored them after surgery and held them down for medications they hated. Walked them, ran with them, biked with them and laid down with them.

This is the second time we have used Richard to sit with Duke. Duke can be very anxious when left with someone other than my wife and myself but with patients Richard was able to get him to calm down and finally relax. We highly recommend Richard and we plan to use him again.

Richard did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats and elderly dog. He sent lots of updates and photos so I had peace of mind on my vacation! He followed directions well and they seemed happy when I returned. :) thank you!

Richard has dog sat (and house sat) for us on 3 separate occasions. He send lots of cute photos & doggie updates throughout giving us tremendous peace of mind. Our doggie absolutely adores him. We will definitely look to Richard to dog sit for us in the future. We highly recommend Richard whenever you need someone who is reliable, trustworthy, kindhearted and wonderful with you pet.
