No breed preferences here! I like all dogs of various shapes and sizes! Any medical conditions, phobias or notes on what they don't like is always good!

A typical day

I dig walks in parks or large grassy spots when possible! I like to play fetch as well if they're into that. Dog parks are also great to get the lead out!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Rich, a semi-retired IT professional that has traded the desk life for working with animals! My wife is also a Star Sitter on Rover (Kimberly L.) and we have two animal companions of our own. A miniature Pinscher mix named Charlie, who is a total ham, and a British Shorthair named "Beep" who loves extra treats! (Beep got her name because she comes running whenever anything beeps!) I love to work with all animals of various shapes, sizes and underbites! I've had animal friends nearly my entire life. Small to huge dogs and many feline friends. I'm excellent with large dogs and bully breeds as well. I once fostered two American Staffordshire rescues from violent homes and placed them in non-violent homes after rehabilitation. So, I have no problem working with difficult pets. I also like to help out with light training when needed! My routine is very flexible and primarily focused on making sure your pet(s) get the most out of each visit. We can hit the usual spots or explore some new smells if that's more your dog's style too. I'd love to meet your pup(s) for walks, play time, medicine admin or whatever else you may need!

Richard is fantastic! He treats my dog like family, always making sure he has water, plenty of pets, hugs, and exercise. He even brings water to the park and sends the cutest photo updates. My dog loves him so much that he sits by the window every morning waiting for Richard to arrive. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
