Highlights
Pet care experience
Large or small, I love them all.
I was raised with Great Danes and Labrador Retrievers within the family. I am accustomed to all sizes, ages, energy levels and will follow specific medical and dietary instructions when necessary. My goal is to give your dog the best care possible while you're away, so they'll be treated as if you were still home with them. If I am entering your home, I understand there's a great level of trust. I am willing to submit any sort of background check, outside of what Rover provides, if you deem it necessary. I also prefer to meet you and your pets before the initial service if possible. Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Safety, trust & environment
I can adjust and adhere to the homeowner’s needs. I have more experience with dogs that are 50-100lbs, so caring for those breeds come more naturally.
Ratings and reviews
Richard was great! He was communicative and helpful, and kept an eye on a small injury my dog got before I left. 10/10 would use again!

Richard was a great communicator, and our dog loved him.

Richard took great care of our pup. He was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. He was very reliable and friendly.

Richard was a fantastic dog sitter for our boy, Buddy! He was very communicative, reliable, and punctual throughout our trip. Buddy was happy, relaxed, and content when we got home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Richard, for taking such great care of Buddy! 🐾😊

Richard did an amazing job! He took our girl for walks and played ball with her. Kept us up to date with photos everyday. Watered our plants. And we came back to a clean house. Highly recommend.

Richard has a calming presence that is great for dog. He has always shown up on time and is willing to work with our requests.

Schedule
I recently moved to Madison Heights, Michigan from Durham, North Carolina with my fiancée. She received a job promotion that brought us here, so I am offering my services while l attend school in the area.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsRichard can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- No breed preferences. Most people I have pet sat for are good about informing me of their pet's ideal feeding, exercise, and medicine schedules. I've dealt with people who let their pets on furniture and others who are a bit more strict; crate trained, for example. I will adhere to the owner's specific guidelines.
