My furry bud has so much fun with Rich all day and I know because Rich is always sending lots of videos and pictures of him running around playing. He really is the best! Thanks so much!!

I always look forward to the nights my dog goes to Rich’s during the day because he ALWAYS comes home happy and exhausted. Exhausting a Boxer is next to impossible, yet Rich never disappoints! He really is the best around, and Knox’s new bestie for sure!! Thank you so much, Rich!!

Every SINGLE day I leave my furry son with Rich, I feel no anxiety or fear, because he send consistent videos and photos, and I just know he is in the safest and kindest of hands. I consider myself a truly blessed person to have someone like Rich to care for my beloved boxer boy!

Rich was very communicative throughout the entire process. Shared lots of photos and videos of our two dogs who always seemed to be having fun playing with all the other dogs. This was our first time boarding with him and will definitely return the next time we need boarding.
