Dog companion/animal empathizer
Pet care experience
I have worked in board and train schools, foster homes and I have been a pet documentarian for several years as well. It is within my nature to connect with animals on their level which seems to enable me to work, even with the most timid of dogs.
Reviews
Rick did such a fantastic job with our pup! Woody came home happy and tired, always a sign of a great stay :). Rick is so great with dogs - we will definitely be booking with him again!
Rick is absolutely amazing and takes such good care of our dog. He treats her like family instead of a job.
Rick did such an amazing job with our two babies! We loved all the photos he took and kept us apart of their little stay!
Rick took such good care of my 2 girls. Took them to the park, running, and sent so many pictures of it all. Will definitely be booking again.

Safety, trust & environment
I live on a spacious lot in northwest Boise with an enclosed back yard and nearby trails that I frequently walk or hike. With the nature of my work, I am primarily home or nearby at all times.
Home
Information Rick W. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has behavioral quirks, a bite history or particular sensitivities, It will do a lot of good to discuss these ahead of time so I can be sure to imprint right the first time. Is your dog a runner? I would love to exercise your dog too as long as your vet says your pet is healthy enough for it.
A typical day
I love running or walking dogs, morning and evening, playing fetch, and whatever else your pet is accustomed to. I am attentive and provide a level of companionship that I pride myself on.

I am a writer, so naturally my work time flexes with each assignment. I have an active lifestyle. Dog walking in particular is one of my favorite pass-times to clear my mind between work.
