Exceptional Care, Unmatched Love!
Pet care experience
I was very lucky to grow up in a house with many pets, including many dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I love all types of dogs from tiny shitzus, to the largest Rottweilers. I also love all cats, from the ultra-fluffy cuddlers to the lone-lions. I believe that all animals deserve loving homes and that they are essentially doing their best; and it is us as owners who can show them how to behave, communicate, and love in our hooman world. I have pet-sat for my family and friends many times over the years, and have experience in animal rehabilitation, including dogs and cats with medication needs and injuries. My partner and I have a sweet German Shepherd/Golden Retriever who we’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy, and we have a cuddly rescued turkish angora cat. They mean so much to us! I strive to give other pets the same level of love while their hoomans are away.

Reviews


Richelle is a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I trust her to take excellent care of my cats. She spends quality time playing and socializing with them in addition to feeding them. I travel with the confidence that my cats are in caring hands while I'm away.




Richelle did a terrific job. She stayed in touch and sent photos. i felt very comfortable with her care of my fur babies.





Gosh, Richelle was amazing! Available, responsive, capable with animals, flexible, and neat and tidy. I’m very grateful to have found her — I came back to a happy home.

Richelle was wonderful! She has a wonderful calm energy with the dogs, and was so nice. Thank you for watching our dogs!!
About Richelle M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an excellent communicator and will be available for calls/texts and updates whenever appropriate. I will make sure to note all client details down so that I do not miss any important routines. If/when we offer boarding or day-care, we have a large fenced backyard for the pupps to play in (supervised). We ask that any dogs we board be cat-friendly, and non-aggressive.
Home
Information Richelle M. would like to know about your pet
I’m happy to know about any details you feel relevant to your furry friend’s care. It is particularly helpful to know about their typical behaviors around other people and pets. And of course, any important medical or diet restrictions.
A typical day
We’ll go on long walks around the neighborhood, and play with their favorite toys! Depending on the pup’s and owner’s preferences, I like to play hide and seek, fetch, or work on basic commands. Also happy to give cuddles or belly rubs!

Availability
I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. I’d be available to come feed, play, walk, and hang out with your furry friends at most hours of the day on any day of the week— and would be open to overnight stays as well! Sometimes I travel for work, in which I would let clients know in advance when I am not available.
