A background check is a check of a person's criminal record up until the date of issue. At Pawshake we ask our sitters to update their checks every 12 months to remain current.About Richard
Hi there! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up surrounded by everything from hamsters to dogs of all sizes, and that love never left. For the past four years I've volunteered at the Comfie Cat shelter in Orillia, where I've cared for cats of every temperament, from shy newcomers to confident cuddle-seekers. At home I'm owned by three cats, and I'm currently dog-free — which means your pup gets my full attention out on walks.
Here's what I offer:
**Dog walking (30 minutes):** A proper half-hour walk tailored to your dog's pace and energy — sniff breaks always included. I'll stick to your usual route or explore the neighbourhood, and you'll get an update on how it went.
**Cat sitting (30-minute drop-in visits):** I'll come to your home for 30 minutes to feed, refresh water, scoop the litter, and spend real quality time with your cat — playtime, brushing, or just quiet company for the shyer ones.
A few practical notes: I'm available weekday evenings and weekends. I happily care for cats and dogs of all sizes, but for everyone's safety I can't take dogs with aggressive tendencies. My shelter experience also means I'm comfortable with nervous, senior, or special-needs animals.
I'd love to meet your furry family
