Pet care experience

Your pet will almost love me most!

Since I was a child I've been the designated pet caretaker in my family and neighborhood- I just can't say no to those cuddly furballs! I've always had a calling to animals and it shows with my 7 pets I care for daily! No matter the type of pet you have I'll show them an equal amount of loving!

Safety, trust & environment

While crates and fences are important I have a handful of ways to ensure your pets stay calm without any consequences. My number one job is to keep your babies loved and cherished- I can garuntee it will be accomplished! I have toys to bring if necessary and treats I keep stashed if you don't have any.

House Sitting • Jun 28, 2026

Richie was awesome. My girls seemed more energetic coming home than when I left on my trip, so they were clearly having fun. And all I heard from him was how amazing they were being, so just as glad to hear they were on their best behavior. Usually, I have my pups boarded, and this was the first time I opted for keeping them in their home environment and using house sitting, which made me nervous. My house looked exactly as I left it, so clearly a very respectful sitter. Richie was also quick and responsive when I reached out. That definitely puts me plenty at ease for anything in the future Absolutely would use Richie again. Thank you so much for making this a comfortable experience for all of us.

Full disclosure: I’m writing this testimonial about my child, but I’m confident that I can give a fair assessment. I’m so proud of how much Richie loves caring for pets. First, he has his own cat who lives in his room and who he solely cares for (Boo takes issue with the other animals in the house, but also Richie and Boo are each others emotional support network). For the past couple of years, we’ve been able to rely on Richie taking care of the six cats and dog that we have whenever we’ve been away, as well as house sat for at least half a dozen friend’s and family member’s houses with pets. Richie is very good at following feeding instructions as well as food and walking schedules for us and our friends/family members. I am confident that you will be pleased with Richie and his ability to love your fur babies as if they were his own!
