I always try to make the most of my visits—walks, feeding, and definitely playtime. I know your pet will be alone for a while after I leave, so I do my best to give them attention, love, and some good company while I’m there.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve got a good sense for animal moods—if your pet’s feeling shy, I’ll give them space. If they’re excited to hang out, I’m all in for playtime and cuddles. I follow your instructions to a T, make sure everything gets done right, and always double-check that everything’s locked up before I go.

Information Richard U. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know anything that helps me make your pet feel comfortable—like their routine, favorite toys, quirks, or things that make them nervous. Let me know about any medical issues, behavior to watch for, or anything you’d like me to avoid. The more I know, the better I can care for them like you would.

A typical day

It depends on the pet’s personality! If they’re active, I’m happy to play fetch, go on walks, or have a little tug-of-war. If they’re more mellow, I’m just as happy to hang out, give belly rubs, or let them curl up while I keep them company. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while I’m there.

Pet care experience

I’ve had both cats and dogs for years and just love spending time with animals. I’m pretty good at reading their moods—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone to quietly hang out with. I make sure each visit is more than just feeding or walking—I give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m always patient, respectful of their boundaries, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

Richard was great! Met up with us before walks were needed to meet our dog. Response, timely, and easy to work with. Thanks Richard appreciate the help and we’ll be reaching out for more walks!

Richard is always so attentive and honestly happy to see our girl. It makes me feel so happy to know Joni is in good hands with someone who is happy to be with her.

Richard was beyond amazing! He took care of our Jasper for the few days we were out of town. We received daily photos and messages detailing his play time. Richard even brought over some cat toys for Jasper to play with. On top of that he kept the surrounding area of his litter clean, and also cleaned his dishes. He truly made us feel at ease. Jasper was in excellent hands while we were away. Highly recommend Richard.

Richard is the best. So conscientious and happy to go the extra bit to make sure my girl is taken care of. It makes me feel good to know she’s happy while I am away.
