I love pets & their personalities.
Pet care experience
I grew up in the country. Our family always had at least two to three dogs at a time as well as at least two cats and they all got along. I worked on a horse ranch for a while and I owned a Doberman Pincer after moving out on my own and found how they need people and a secure environment. I have worked with Dachshunds, German Shepherds, Newfoundlands which are amazingly huge and Bernese Mountain Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, and Chihuahua, and Boston Terriers. About myself, I stay in shape. I used to race bicycles and have been swimming since I was two years old. I love to camp and star gaze. I also taught Tai Chi for about 16 yrs.

Richard took great care of my dog Cooper over a weekend of boarding. He ensured he got enough exercise and ate healthily, as well as gave me continual updates (photos/texts) throughout the weekend as to how Cooper was doing. He was also flexible with the dropoff and pickup timings on a short notice. I would definitely book with Richard again, and would recommend him to others as well!
Richard was great with my fur babies! he provided tips for my pup since he is still in the training process. Richard even gave us a leash to help train our dogs when walking outside. I saw in the camera that my puppy pooped before his first visit and Richard was kind enough to clean it up which I thought was very nice of him to do. I will definitely be contacting Richard again for more services!! Thank you so much Richard, you were great!
Richard was great with our dog. We really appreciate him working with is on short notice. I would recommend him to my friends and family.
Richard is one of the best dog sitters our sweet pooch has ever had! He often checked in with updates, photos and videos. We could see that Kahlua was being well taken care of and that he was very happy while in Richard's care. We will definitely seek him out next time we need a dog sitter as we know Kahlua will be in excellent hands.

Information Richard S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I would be helpful to know if your dog is uncomfortable or fearful in any situations concerning other dogs or children or loud noises. I would also like to know what treats your dog loves and what its favorite toy may bee.
A typical day
There are some nearby dog runs that I only use when they are empty and clean of anything questionable and I take a ball or a stick for the dogs to chase. I use tennis balls and use them for only one dog and then i either clean them or throw them away after use as a toy for an individual dog. I do this to protect dogs from any errant germs. I like to protect the health of dogs under my care. Of course, this play time in dog runs is with permission from the owner. I like taking the dogs that I walk around the Long Island City area, and I prefer to walk down by the river or by the River in Brooklyn if the distance is not too far from their home.. There is a quietness being near the river.
