A Dog's Paradise : )
Pet care experience
My family has included dogs (and various other animals - I grew up in Africa and Asia) since I was about 6 or 7 years old. I worked at a Zoo for over 9 years and love nature and wildlife. I spend a great deal of time in the woods, hiking and swimming with our 10 year old choco-Lab Brownie. I have over a decade of experience dog sitting, fostering puppies, dog-walking, providing doggy day care and assisting in basic training. I am aware of the challenges of finding trustworthy and caring dog care help. I am partially "retired" affording me the time and flexibility to pursue a passion caring for animals of all kinds. Our new 2,000 square foot facility provides a clean and comfortable home away from home for dogs and cats of all kinds. Conveniently nestled in the historic Atlantic Mills building, we are centrally located and within short walking distance to Riverside Park and the Woonasquatucket River Parkway - a favorite playground for active dogs. With plenty of room to run around and explore, cozy couches to lounge on, plenty of company, toys and healthy snacks - the new Casa De Canine is truly a Paradise for our furry, four-pawed friends.
Reviews
He was such a huge help, and my 2.5 month old puppy, Hazy, loved him! Rich did dog sitting for around 5 days at my apartment and he was really hands-on, flexible to work around our schedules, and attentive to our pup's need. Will definitely work with him again!
We had the best experience with Kemba. Our dog and cat were so well taken care of while we were gone. He took care of our animals as if they were his own. We can’t thank him enough.
This was our first time using a dog sitter for our very senior 14 year old dog. We have always has family and close friends watch our pup. Kemba and his lovely wife treated our dog and cat as if they were their own. I received so many videos and communication of them with cute videos and pictures of my animals while we were away. We were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing we had the kindest and most professional pet sitters around! They gave our animals so much love and attention. We ended up booking again for Thanksgiving weekend we loved them so much.
Rich has been a godsend! He is punctual, great with communication, sends pictures and is a very confident handler. Both our 70 pound and 20l pound APBTs love him and his pack. We are lucky we found him. It’s been such a stress reliever knowing that our dogs are well taken care of. Definitely book him.

Does a dog socialize well with other small dogs, big, dogs, dogs of opposite sex, etc. Medical - restrictions, allergies, treat preferences, and will there be any meds to administer? Do you crate your dog/s, are they allowed on furniture, in bed? Does he or she have any triggers - squirrels, chase cars, fear of loud noise, etc.

Per client's preferences - dogs parks, walking parks, woodland trails, and the beach. Dogs in my care will play fetch, chase, tug-of-war, swim, explore, spend 10 to 15 mins on focused training (sit, stay, lay down, leave/drop it, etc) and socialize with other dogs and people.
