Safety, trust & environment

Our home is very dog friendly and depending on your dogs needs we can set up barriers to the stairs or let them roam free. We don't have a private yard, but there is a shared outdoor area in our building (which only has 5 dogs - 3 that I have walked/watched when my neighbors need it).

Rich always takes great care of our pups. He’s patient and kind with them. And is very respectful of our home. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Rich.

Rich was great with our pups. Very calm. He showed up on time for meet/greet. He was very responsive via the app. For the actual walks, he, again, showed up on time and sent updates on the kids. He was very patient and calm with our timid girl. He made sure their crates were secured. We couldn't have asked for a better, more responsible person to take care of our pups.

Rich was great with our pups. Came every day at the scheduled time, was super gentle and patient with our timid dog. Took photos. Was very responsive to any inquiry I made on Rover. Made sure they were secure in their crates when he left. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups in his care.

Rich has babysat our Australian Labradoodle, Bobo, on several occasions, and particularly when we travel. He's reliable, kind, thoughtful - and just LOVES dogs. Bobo goes on long walks, gets to play fetch a ton and also gets to snuggle. Rich has been an incredible find and he will always be our go-to for dog care - for an evening or extended time.
