I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family.

Richie was super friendly and had quick communications with us. He's reliable and has great experience with dogs - he made sure our puppy had walks, playtime, and down time at home during a boarding service. He also helped train our puppy on walks.

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.
