My name is Richie, and I live in Adelaide with my partner, Sian, and our cat, Bessie. My background is in ecology and conservation, and I'm currently undertaking a PhD on the freshwater sawfish in the Kimberley, WA.

When I'm not tracking down critically endangered river monsters in remote wilderness areas, you'll find me camping, hiking, surfing, or at the gym. Or semi-comatose on the couch watching Seinfeld.

Unfortunately, my current situation (see: tiny unit) is not conducive to the privilege of dog ownership, so I'm hoping to establish a small network of regular clients for mutually-beneficial dog sitting times.

Having grown up in a multiple-dog family, I'm well experienced in providing the care and attention they require. I also have experience handling and caring for an array of native pet animals, including kangaroos, snakes, lizards, turtles, birds, and fish.

I offer a pet sitting service in their own home, from once daily check-ins to overnight stays. Unfortunately I am unable to host.

Naturally, you want your best bud to be in the best company, so reach out to arrange a no obligation vibe check at the park anytime 🙂🏞️🐕
