Information Richelle W. would like to know about your pet

I tend to prefer animals that are a little more on the easy to handle side, as I am not as young as I used to be! Lol I have a cat in the house, so cat aggressive dogs can not be accepted

A typical day

Mornings begin with breakfast and then potty time. I work from 8 til 11 at a Kennel just a few miles from home. When I return, 11 am is play time, andnor a walk. Whatever is best for the individual. Most of the days are spent hanging out with me in the house and yard

Richelle is great with our puppy who is sometimes too rambunctious with her more calm dogs. She instinctively knows when it’s best to separate them. Our Sophie loves going to her house!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
