I have the privilege of having dogs being able to cover a large portion of my life expenses so I have a lot of time for our four legged furry friends. I work and I work out but I always give the dogs time attention and love via walks games and keeping them active. I also live near a beautiful forest and field so they have the opportunity to run and be free the way they should be!

Information Richard R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special or specific needs, I’m very accommodating. Eating habits Walks if they get along with other dogs Anything please let me know

A typical day

When your dog hangs out with me, it’s more than just pet sitting—it’s a mini vacation! We’ll go on long walks (tailored to their energy level), have play sessions with toys and puzzles, and get plenty of cuddle time. If they like the forest walks, we’ll make a trip there to sniff around and run wild . I also love working on simple tricks and games to keep their minds sharp. And of course, I’ll make sure they get all the belly rubs and love they can handle. Your pup’s happiness and comfort are my top priority!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and was taking care of them before my business partner suggested Rover. I have a closed in backyard and fence and have provided from sr to disable to young pups from all different breeds. I walk run play feed (cook for the dogs upon special request) I also live right near a state park with two other rover sitters, so you’re dog will have 24 hour care. I’m currently in process of learning to become a certified trainer

Richard was a great dog sitter. Hank went on many walks and visited parks that we had not been to. We received many pictures and it was obvious that he was being well cared for.

Benny was well taken care of and received lots of attention and engagement. Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone

Rich was great with my M&M sending me regular photos, videos and updates. My dog has seizures and Rich helped me feel comfortable that he could handle his medication and care if a seizure occurred. I will definitely book with him again.
