Remote workers needs some dog time

Pet care experience

I got a new job in Denver so I’m new to the area and looking to explore Colorado as much as possible. Both of my boxer kids recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and I am always looking for a dog fix. I'll treat your children like they were my own and I truly mean that. As a dog owner, I am a big believer in positive reinforcement with treats and/or words of encouragement. My dogs didn’t particularly respond to treats so I used verbal cues, scratches and looks of approval to train them. I've owned dogs my whole life and have interacted with a variety of breeds. I can, and thoroughly enjoy, handing big dogs of all varieties. This summer I am only working half-time and am extremely flexible. I will be able to visit your pups every 2-4 hours if you require. I find that communication between myself and owners to be one, if not the most, important aspect of dog sitting/walking/running.

Great stay for my 2 bullies with Richie. I can not imagine a better sitter or experience. Regular pictures and updates! Richie is kind and diligent and gave lots of dog cuddles. Luckily, my pups still loved me when i came home, but i know they had a great time and were happy with Richie while I was gone. I cannot say enough good things! Amazing to leave and not worry!

Richie is a very responsible and loving dog caregiver. He’s always been reliable and done such a great job! My dogs absolutely love him too!

Richie is an incredibly kind and responsibile human being who treats his dogs like the amazing members of his family that they are. Your mind should feel at ease that you're best friend is being very well taken care of if Richie is watching them.

Information Richie E. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, although I’m always on the look out for cuddlers. All I need to know is their personality, if they have a schedule and their bathroom frequency. Plus medications. I love thorough instructions from owners so I never have to bother you while you’re away.

A typical day

Whatever they love to do, I’ll happily do it with them. I love hiking, going to the dog park, riding bikes, running or roller blading. Whatever it takes to get your pup their exercise, I’ll happily do it.
