FULLY fenced-in, large, open area.

Pet care experience

Life-long animal owner/lover/sitter. Senior dog experienced. Ramps available for the stairway challenged. Low beds and help onto furniture provided. Able to carry up to large dog if necessary. I'm very attentive and sympathetic to a senior dogs wants and needs as I have one. Full-time pet sitter/caretaker. Available most days and nights, weekends, and holidays. Multi-week stays welcome. Happy to have part of your family visit us. There is a fully-fenced , open-area backyard, and also a pond with a deck over water. Fences extend into the ground for the 'escape artists'. Buddies that care to swim welcome. Majority of nice days spent outside in nature running, playing, digging, interacting or sleeping. Inside they may hang on the couch or wherever they feel most comfortable. Pee breaks offered every one to two hours (when doggie door is not in). Large, dedicated, open-area playroom for active buddies. Raised beds, elevated eating stations, and frequent snacks for the comfort of our guests. Custom made meals available upon request.

It was my first time leaving my baby blue…. and it was a great experience!! Rich communicated and kept me updated on how blue was doing! I was glad to find someone who is reliable and experienced. I recommend Rich hands down.

As always Rich took excellent care of Sunnie, she is always tired when she comes home and has a great time hanging out with Rich and the other dogs.

As always Rich took excellent care of Sunnie. She always gives a little whine leaving her friends Rich, Peachy, and Toro (as well as any other dogs he is taking care of). She always comes home a tired happy pup.
