Pet care experience

Animal lover, avid walker & hiker

I volunteered with cats with the SPCA for a year, socializing and cuddling their cats ♡ I'm also a go to cat sitter for a friend of mine. In addition, I was the go to dog walker for my old job's shop dog whenever his mother wasn't able to take him. That's how I got started dog sitting for him. Since he was an elderly pit bull mix he needed a walker that knew when to head back home so his joints wouldn't bother him for the rest of the day. He also needed someone that could keep him and other dogs safe while out on a walk since he was a rescue from Mexico that could become reactionary to other dogs. He was an avid people lover though and being a pit bull mix, just needed someone that could reassure others that his barking was from excitement to meet new people. His size could be intimidating so he just needed an advocate for him to let other know that he was friendly and eager to greet them.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm available for walks and since I love walking I'm more then happy to take an energetic dog out to help tire them out. I'm also available for multiple visits in a day as well as sleep over care with hourly hangout sessions for your fur baby. I'm accustomed to accommodating pets with special diet requirements. I'm also more then happy to provide updates and share any pictures I've taken of your fur baby ♡

Richelle was fantastic as always. When I returned, my dogs were happy, my place was clean and well put together, and she communicated well while I was away! Tons of pictures, texts, and funny things my pups were up to. Thank you, Richelle!

Richelle did a great job walking my dog - great communication, lots of pictures, and the "Rover cards" made my day!

Richelle is a gift. She pays attention to detail, treats my dogs as though they are her own and manages unexpected events like a boss. She cares for my home and pets with skill, pride and responsibility. Frequent daily updates are a treat. She handled our recent poo-mergency without fuss. Can’t say enough good things.

Schedule

I currently have a part time position that leaves me free in the mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I try to walk 7,000 steps in a day. So I'm free for lots of walks, play time, and snuggles. I can provide pet sitting in Langford as well, however due to the daily commute I will need to update the price by adding on an additional $10/day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Richelle can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about any behaviours I may need to be aware of such as friendliness towards other animals, people, children, dietary needs or restrictions, or anything else to be aware of or look out for.
