Home full-time, willing to do runs

Pet care experience

I grew up with several dogs, and would make money during summers walking and sitting dogs in my neighborhood. I've taken care dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I recently left my full time job to take some time off so I can spend as much time as you need with your dog (taking them outside, walking them, playing with them, training them, etc). I am a very active person and would be happy to walk and/or run your dog for however long if you would like. Also, I have experience with puppies as well as older dogs so if your dog is not completely potty trained or has special needs / medical conditions, I am still more than willing to take care of them.

Richard did a great job watching our dog Echo! He gave us a thorough rover card with feedback and pictures. He took him for a nice long walk during the day, which is great since he's still young and has a lot of energy. He's a nice guy and dogs seem to love him.

Richard has grown up with animals (dogs and cats) and is a very caring, compassionate and patient person. He loves animals and animals love him. He knows how to handle dogs, big and small. Richard is an athlete and has the strong intuitive sense necessary to read a dog's emotional signals. I trust him completely as a surrogate with my dogs and I highly recommend him as a kind and empathetic dog walker.

Information Richard W. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, all dogs are welcomed. Thing I would like to know before sitting your dog would if they have any allergies, medical conditions, how house trained they are, and anything else you think would be good for me to know.

A typical day

We can go up to the Presidio and hike on the trails, to the beach and let them do some swimming, to a dog park to play with other dogs (if this is something you've done before with your dog), or play 1on1 fetch at a park. Really anything you'd like!
