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.

Rich was great! He kept me updated with Kash and had excellent communication throughout. I was so nervous at first, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks again!

Rich was absolutely the best. Our dog had never been away from us and she was scared and acted out a bit. Rich kept me informed and totally handled the situation. His demeanor had her going over to him for some pets. I really appreciate his patience with her and his skill level.

Rich is an amazing sitter! He was very nice and easy to talk to. He kept us updated and sent pictures of how our pup was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Luna was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend using Rich as a sitter!

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.
