Pet care experience

Dogs all day, Every day

I’ve had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats and fish. Since they’ve always brought me such joy, and I wanted extra income that could be flexible, I decided to start walking and caring for dogs and cats about 10 years ago. During these years I’ve learned a lot about training, administering meds and dealing with pets that take their time warming up to strangers. I’d love to bring this level of care and experience to your furry loved one’s. Additional references can be provided if you’d like.

Richie was a life saver when I was desperately seeking a dog walker for my pup Willie. He became a regular walker for Willie and was the highlight of his day. We ended up moving out of the area but I would recommend Richie to friends, family, and strangers to take care of their pet.

Richie has been caring for our dog since we adopted him in October 2014. Our family has known Richie for over 20 years. He is responsible, dedicated, reliable & genuinely loves our furry family member. He loves going for walks with Richie. I completely trust his well being and safety in Richie's care.
