Bubbly Artist is Trustworthy Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I'm Richelle- a 28-year-old teaching artist and writer currently living in Philadelphia. I am so happy to be here! I grew up with cats, fish, dogs, and have watched other small pets like rabbits and hamsters. I love all living beings, but especially animals. As an educator, my work is trauma-informed and pets are such a great way to regulate the nervous system. They give so much love in return for genuine care. They truly make me smile any time I see any animal, even if it scares me a little. Tambien hablo espanol!

I am the proud father of a rambunctious 2-yr old cat. Richelle is one of the best sitters I have ever had, when I come home from trips my little guy is always clearly relaxed, fed, happy, and groomed. She is great at keeping me updated throughout the trip and even sends photos and videos so I don't miss him too much. I absolutely recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

When I am caring for an animal in their home or my home, I make myself aware of the surroundings and any hazards in the space, and remove them immediately. If the owner has any specific needs, I am always happy to accommodate them.

Information Richelle K. would like to know about your pet

It's important to understand the dog ahead of time. I like to know if the dog has any allergies, if they have aggressive tendencies, and if they have a favorite waling route.

A typical day

I love to explore with the dogs and increase their enrichment through toys and active adventures. Obviously the activities differ each dog as their needs differ. I can accommodate any needs

I housesit/petsit/babysit together pretty frequently in Philadelphia. Usually, my friends refer me for jobs with their friends. I build networks and connections through word of mouth. I enjoy exploring a new space and knowing that I am helping someone out. I am adventurous and quite flexible with my time because I am a self-employed artist. I love house sitting, pet sitting, and boarding because taking care taking is one of my passions. grew up with pets and love them with my whole heart. I am a Capricorn which means that I am pretty chill and career-focused. I would love to help out other people while experiencing new moments in a new place... I'm an Earth sign which means I love taking care of a home, people, and animals. Yes, I'm the "Mom Friend." I am generally in awe of almost anything artistic and expressive. With enough notice, I can make almost any job work!
