Safety, trust & environment

I have three friendly dogs to keep your pup company with bucketful of toys. Two of them are playful, the third is 15 and still young but doesn’t play. I can also come over and spend time with your pup to play and do walks together.

Information Richard T. would like to know about your pet

Any surgeries or body injuries just in case they should not be picked up. Or fear of being picked up. My chihuahua Luke, who is a rescue, does NOT like being picked up so that would be good to know.

A typical day

Depends on their energy. I know some just want company and I know others love to play and even do longer than normal walks. I also measure my dogs food so if that is something you manage I can help with that.

Energetic, long walks & sitting!

Pet care experience

I had two senior chihuahuas, Pepe was a blind senior, who have both moved on now. I’ve trained Kozmo and Otto since they were puppies. Kozmo understands commands in English, Italian, and American sign language. Otto is still learning, as he’s a puppy, to walk with his big brother, and other basic commands.

Immediately put our dog to ease. He’s a natural. Highly recommend!

I know Richard for over 25 years. I have witnessed first hand his love and compassion for pets. You can call them a pet but Richard treats them like family! I have also worked with Richard for many years in the retail business. Richard's customer service is exemplary.
