Reliable care / Your pets 2nd home

Pet care experience

I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses.

Rich is a passionate dog lover who would make a terrific sitter for your fur baby. He has a tonne of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. Not only has he had experience training and caring for his own pups, but he has also fostered a number of dogs over the past several years. Your pup will have the most amazing time and be in the best care while staying with Rich and his family.

My dogs love when Richard is dog sitting! At this point they recognize him by name and get excited when I mention he’s coming over that day. He takes great care to give them proper exercise, have them do their business outside, and play with them before he leaves. He even will bring them to a park nearby for a nice long walk when needed. Richard is a responsible and loving pet caregiver and I would absolutely recommend Richard to take care of your pup. He’s clearly a big dog lover and my dogs can tell.

Rich has been watching my two Aussies for about two years now. Buck and Nova LOVE spending time with Rich and he takes such good care of our babies. He loves them unconditionally and treats them like his own grandchildren. Rich is responsible, loving, caring and reliable. Your animals will be in great hands with Rich
