I am a retired school psychologist with an open schedule and a love for walks and being outside. Having a dog with me on walks, makes it more fun. I have flexibility to stop by and entertain your fur babies.

Pet care experience

I’ve had fur family members all my life. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family since I was old enough to open a can of cat food. I fostered 10 dogs and 27 cats for the SPCA. I am experienced and comfortable with dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it. As a school psychologist, I had wonderful “therapy” Guinea pig in my office. I am caring and respectful of pets needs. My goal is to make pets and their parents happy and at ease.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Richelle Plants for over 10 years. Richelle has cared for my three rescue dogs with compassion, patience and love. She treats my dogs as though they are her own. Richelle is dependable and consistent. Any family of a fur baby would be lucky to have Richelle care for their pets!

I don’t think I know another person who loves animals more than Richelle. She has experienced, taking care of dogs, cats, and all sorts of furry little friends. Richelle has taken care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats on many occasions and I never worry about them. I know that they are being loved and well cared for.

I can’t say enough great things about Richelle and the care she provides. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and truly has a natural connection with animals. Whether it’s dogs or cats, she treats every pet like her own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I trust her with my four dogs! Her dog Zero has so many adventures with her! Richelle goes above and beyond, paying attention to each pet’s unique needs and personality. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were in such capable and compassionate hands. When I came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with animals, I highly recommend Richelle. She is simply the best!
