I'm a Dog and Cat owner/lover

Pet care experience

I started walking and playing with an awesome Golden Retriever, when a friend mentioned that his mom needed someone flexible because she works different hours each week. I really enjoy hanging out with him and his "feline brother". I started pet sitting for 2 more clients as well. I grew up with dogs and cats and love being around them So why not be around them as much as I can? I am patient, reliable, and will take the time to play! I currently drive for Uber and make my own schedule. That gives me the flexibility to be available more often for Pet Sitting. After all spending time with animals is much more enjoyable than driving in traffic! I will not be boarding dogs at my house because it is not big enough. Sorry. I will take dogs for long walks to neighborhood dog parks if they are available and let them run around and tire themselves out.

Richard was great with our dogs. Our "furbabies" surprised us at " Meet and Greet" by their ease with him. Acted like they knew him with less barking and get acquainted time than usual, Richard showed up on time and took excellent care of our dogs. He seemed at ease with with all four and handled our little diabetic Abby quite well. He fed dinner, gave medications and e verything was in order when we got home.

The time and effort Richard put in to take care of our pups was amazing. From the first meeting showing calmness and patience with our new family member who was recently rescued Richard showed our fur-babies all the love and attention they deserved. Very punctual with time and excellent communication the entire time. We will be requesting his services again for a future trip. Thank you again -Derreck W

Always sent photos when he was with the dogs. They really seemed to like him and he asked to bring them over to play with his dogs so they could have fun! You can tell he loves animals! After the stay was over, he asked and checked up on the doggos!

Information Richard U. would like to know about your pet

I don't need to know anything about the dog because I will walk/house sit any type of dog. I don't have any breed preference although I do like pit bulls, Rottweilers, golden retrievers and of course boxers with sunglasses. Lol

A typical day

I will take the dogs to nearby dog parks if there are some available and play fetch with them. I will also walk them around there neighborhoods.
