I work from home and I love dogs
Pet care experience
I just love dogs, they make me really happy. I happen to work from home, and I live by Washington Park where I can take them for walks during the day. I write software, so getting up and taking a break to walk a dog is no problem at all. Dogs are allowed free roam in my place, because I'm home all day. My favorite is when I am done with work and can just chill with them on the couch. I have bowls, toys, food and treats. The treats always come from Pet Wants, who make all their stuff in-house, free of preservatives and chemicals. I watch my friends' dogs so there are usually treats leftover. I have what I call a dogmobile, it's just a mini-SUV with a moon-roof and for doggos that like car rides, I love taking them to other Cincinnati parks (Ault, Eden, Mt Airy, etc). They always have fun!
Reviews
Rishi was an excellent caregiver for my mini goldendoodle, Johnny! I left my doggo in Rishi’s care for 10 days, and received tons of pics and updates while I was on vacation. Rishi even bought some special doggie beef stew and boiled some chicken for Johnny while he was on a hunger strike (separation anxiety is ruff). When I need a dog sitter, Rishi will be my first request!
Rishi, or the dogfather as I call him, is always the best to my dog son Baldwin and any others that cross his path. This man keeps treats on him "just in case." His comfy home is a safe, quiet place and yes doggies are allowed on the furniture. Rishi has sweet and playful energy pups definitely pick up. PS He sends absolutely unparalleled videography and photography
Rishi has watched, and lovingly cared for, my dog Sugar for the past 2+ years. He loves her like his own and makes her feel at home in his house. Whenever we see Rishi out around town they are both so excited to see each other which shows me what great care he takes of her when I'm out of town. He takes her on adventures, he buys her treats and he takes her to all of our normal stomping grounds so she can see all of her human friends. Sugar can be reactive around other dogs and Rishi takes that into account wherever they go to ensure she is comfortable and there are no issues. I completely trust him with Sugar and know that he would take the same care with any dog that he watches.
Rishi will walk your dog--he works from home and is reliable! He's an animal lover and overall good guy with a good heart. He's watched our 2 and done a wonderful job! Would recommend him to or closest friends!

I let them hang out wherever they want, but when they come hang with me while I'm working or watching TV, even better. It's a 2 story condo and sometimes dogs want to chill downstairs while I'm working upstairs and that's ok too. There is a fenced in backyard if I'm kinda busy but they need a potty break.

High energy dogs can be difficult for me when I am focusing on work. My friends' dogs who I watch generally just chill out on the couch, futon, or bed while I'm busy. Destructive dogs are also difficult -- I really don't like to put dogs in cages so relaxed dogs are preferred.
A typical day
Washington Park is the main place I like to take my little guys, but sometimes just walking around Over-The-Rhine streets. When I have time (evenings, weekends) I like to drive them to other Cincinnati parks. If they are good with people, I will take them to my favorite dog-friendly bars where the bartenders love giving treats. I love tug-of-war and ball if they do too.

Availability
I work from home, so I will be with them all day. I have to take breaks from writing software, so that's a perfect time for a short walk. We usually make a trip to Pet Wants (about a 5 min walk from me) to pick out some treats during the day.
