Rich was very communicative and was able to handle my messy, high energy puppy with ease!

Extremely friendly and reliable. I felt completely comfortable leaving Reagan there. We had a bad experience where a different sitter took us off of the app and then ghosted us after we paid and 30 minutes before drop off so we are wary of the sitters now but Rich has always seemed completely professional and calm. Great person and Reagan was very happy on the way in and out :)

Rich was a true professional. He delivered on every aspect of care for my dog Kaido. Despite being a little dog Kaido can be stubborn and difficult. Rich handled it. He gave me regular updates and asked questions when he needed to. I really appreciate him and highly recommend him. John Gardner

Rich did a great job of watching Layla! He gave us daily updates and was responsive to messages. We’d be happy to have him watch Layla again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and also live within a half mile of a veterinary hospital if the need should happen to arise. I can also crate your dog in my basement if you need that done also.

A typical day

I love to interact with dogs so I would play with your pup and do my best to keep him entertained. Also can give them quiet time as needed.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to know about. I'll do my best to provide anything they may need out of the ordinary.
