I am responsible and love dogs

Pet care experience

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 is awesome! He asked a lot of questions about my pup, was thorough and my pup and I immediately felt comfortable with him. I look forward to working with him again!

Fed, walked, and liked our big goofy boy. Who could ask for more.

Information Richard P. would like to know about your pet

- 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

A typical day

I go on long walks or to the dog park if the dog enjoys it and the owner approves, I can play with him or her as I'm pretty high energy myself, I cuddle, pet and give dogs lots of attention, I can give baths to dogs if their owner wants me to give them one and try to give them a non-stressful experience while doing so.
