“Richie is the best! Clear and consistent communication, compassionate care, and super trustworthy. Being away from our pets and having someone else in our home can be stressful, but working with Richie has brought us so much piece of mind. We're so grateful for their care!” -Finch P.

“Richie has been super kind and patient with my anxious elderly boy and is always overly communicative. Couldn’t recommend anyone better to care for your pets!” -Graham L.

“Richie is a wonderful dog walker and dog sitter. They spent an overnight with our two dogs and were great about checking in and communication. The dogs were very comfortable with Richie and had a great time on the long walks Richie took them on.” -Patrick C.

“I recently hired Richie to provide daily care for my two cats while I was away on vacation. From our initial meeting before my trip, I was immediately impressed by his professionalism, reliability, and knowledge of pet care. His confidence and genuine care for animals gave me complete peace of mind, and I felt comfortable entrusting him with my pets. What truly exceeded my expectations was the level of communication he provided while I was away. Each day, Richie posted photos along with a brief journal-style update about how my cats were doing in his online platform. These thoughtful updates reassured me that they were happy and well cared for, allowing me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. I highly recommend Richie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and professional pet sitter. His dedication and attention to detail made all the difference, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.” -Chelsea D.
