Pet care experience
My experience with animals is extensive. Over 40+ years of raising and working with many animals. I also work and volunteer with children and adults with special needs, involving hippo therapy as a part of my experience. I have experience with small to large animals. Including birds, and some reptiles. I have worked with several charities over the last 30 years. I love the happiness and bond that is created with all animals. They bring so much and ask for to be loved. Why I have a love to work with all animals big and small for the past 50 years. There is a bond and true honesty that is created between us an all animals, I enjoy finding this friendship. I enjoy the energy and positive affection we receive from animals.
Reviews
Great job! I enjoyed my trip knowing my dogs were in good hands.
Richard took wonderful care of my two high-energy dogs. I came home and they were happy and relaxed and everything was in good shape. I particularly appreciated Richard's kindness toward my one dog who is a bit fearful. By the end of Richard's visit it sounded like they were good friends.
My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Richard and I felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. He stopped by before my vacation to meet her and chat with me, and I got a good sense of his dog expertise which put me at ease. Richard understands dogs and picked up on her personality, which made me confident that he would give her what she wanted when she wanted it. He seems very intuitive, perceptive, and flexible with regard to an individual dog's needs and character. Richard was also very accommodating with logistics and went above and beyond to help me get my dog where she needed to be while I was on vacation.
