I'll love your fur-baby like my own

Pet care experience

I am a pet-dad to a friendly adult dog and cat. With years of experience taking care of my own animals, as well as pet-sitting for others, I will treat your critter with the love and attention that they deserve! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am happy to cater to your availability -- day or night -- to help out with your pets! For dog walking -- I can take your pup on walks around any number of great routes around the Boston area. I have easy access to the Arnold Arboretum, Stony Brook Commons, Blue Hill Reservation, and more. There are no shortage of wonderful outside attractions to tucker out your canine friend. For dog sitting -- I will treat you home with the same respect that I treat my own. I know that travel can be stressful, so I will do everything I can to make sure you do not need to worry at all about your home or your pets. For drop-in visits -- I am conveniently located on the outskirts of Boston, so I can easily drop into any part of the city or the surrounding area for a timely check-in.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner, I’ve always been very particular about the pet care that I arrange for my cat and dog. I know that it’s crucial to get to know animals to figure out what they like and need. I’ll be responsive to the needs of pets and their owners.

Information Richard W. would like to know about your pet

Information that is helpful for me are things like: 1. How many walks per day is the dog used to? 2. How long are the typical walks? 3. Are there any dietary restrictions? 4. Does the dog play well with others or need individual care? 5. Are there any behaviors that you are working on that need reinforcement?

A typical day

I love to explore the Stony Brook trails, Arnold Arboretum, and other parks in the area. For less active dogs, I can also keep outings more low key - whatever is needed. For cats and other indoor pets, a typical day would involve indoor play time with toys and fun stuff like that!
