Pet care experience

I am responsible and love dogs

I've never met a dog that I didn't like. Taking care of dogs is not just a job to me, it's a love. I have fostered 3 dogs in the past five years and when I was younger I had one of my own. I've taken care of hundreds of dogs for different periods of time. I will take care of your dog as if he or she were mine. I'm familiar with almost all breeds, sizes and personalities so I can adapt to your pup's attributes and take good care of him/her whether they have high energy or low energy, are big or small, and everything in between. I live in the immediate vicinity of three beautiful parks and 2 dog runs and my availability is such that I can accommodate your schedule easily. I love to hike and walk, and your dog will get plenty of exercise if that's what they like. I can administer a bath to your dog and prepare food as well if it's necessary. I create a happy, relaxed, and playful environment. My family are also dog lovers and your good boy or girl will get plenty of attention and love. I also love to take care of cats as well and love their different but still endearing energy. I’m currently working part time and from home so your dog(s) will get tons of attention from me and I can go on however long walks they like best. I am very attentive to optimize the environment your dog(s) will be in. Safety is extremely important and I also keep an eye out at all times pretty much to make sure they are safe, in eyesight of where I’m sitting, and are comfortable

Richard was amazing. He took great care of Faddy on his walk and Faddy had a great time from the photos. He came on time was extremely pleasant and I could not be happier my little guy got an extra walk when I was not around. I would Highly recommend Richard

- I'd just like to know what their schedule. Just details like that, which is important so I can take care of your pup as best as possible - If they need medication of course - If they can go on the couch
