Quality time with your best friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is a Richie. I moved into wake forest after hiking for 5 months on the Appalachian Trail. Although my time here is limited as I’m moving out at the end of May 2024!! Before my hike, I lived in Durango Colorado where I made Rover my full-time job, taking care of dogs from sun up to sun down. I’ve had pets throughout my entire childhood and into my adult years, taking care of turtles and hamster, dogs and cats, lizards and fish. I can take care of them all! Needless to say I like having pets around, especially dogs.

Richie took amazing care of our dynamic duo. He sent us pics several times a day, and even included screenshots of his walking route. Our house was in FANTASTIC shape upon our return. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Richie!

Richie is great - I have two dogs who have not been getting along, and I needed a second handler to help me walk both of them side-by-side, per my trainer's advice. One of my pups is very skittish, but Richie's calm demeanor made him feel comfortable in our very first meeting. Richie is always on time, and replies to messages quickly - I definitely recommend him if you need a hand with any beloved pets.

We’ll discuss beforehand how long you’d like your dog to be walked and discuss a route for us to take. I love taking pictures, so you’ll always get the best quality pictures of us on our walks/visits/house sits.

Information Richie W. would like to know about your pet

Before I get to take care of your pet, I’d like to know anything that would distract us from our walks. For example: My dog LOVES bikes/skateboards, he will, without a doubt, try and chase after them if they pass by on our walk. I’ll make sure every body is having a good time!

A typical day

I always enjoy a hike, and usually prefer company. As we get into the winter season and snow starts to fall, I’d love to take your dog on a walk to experience the fun in the snow. I typically won’t take the same route twice in a row. It’s not only for my personal preference, but so your dog is always getting a fresh experience with new scents and activities along the way.

First come first served! My schedule is open for any booking needs. Would be happy to do a meet and greet before our adventures begin. I’m looking into Veterinarian school and I feel like this is a great way to get to know as many types and personalities of dogs as possible.
